11 language codes from man page filenames. Only strip things that look like
12 codes that match the specified languages. Closes: #366645

14 old location, and not passing --x11r7-layout to update-fonts-alias and

55 they use the right new directory. Closes: #362820
56 * dh_installxfonts: also, alias files have moved from /etc/X11/fonts/* to
57 /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/*, update call to update-fonts-alias and the man page

68 really the first person to run into the case of a source package that
69 builds an arch all package and an single-arch package? In this case,
70 the binary-arch target needs to use -s and do nothing when run on some

183 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
184 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
185 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
186 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
187 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
188 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

218 set up maintainer script snippets, w/o installing any files.
219 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
220 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
221 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980

239 number of packages needing to transition together with python.

338 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
339 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
340 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
341 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
342 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1664 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1665 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1666 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1667 dh_install, which ...
1668 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1669 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1670 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1671 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1672 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1673 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1674 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1675 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1676 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1677 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1678 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1679 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1680 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1681 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1682 other minor changes.
1683 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1684 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1685 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1686 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1687 course there's -X ..)
1688 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1689 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1690 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1692 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1693 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1694 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1695 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1696 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1743 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1744 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1771 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1773 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1774 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1775 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1776 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1777 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1778 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1779 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1780 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1781 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1782 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1783 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1784 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1785 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1786 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1787 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1788 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1790 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1825 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1826 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1827 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1828 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1829 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1830 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1831 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1832 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1833 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2191 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2192 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2193 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2194 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2195 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2196 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2251 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2253 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2254 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2255 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2256 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2257 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2258 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2259 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2260 but is mildly deprecated.
2261 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2262 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2263 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2264 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2265 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2266 switching to statoverrides..
2267 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2268 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2269 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2270 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2271 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2272 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2274 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2275 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2276 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2277 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2278 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2279 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2280 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2281 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2282 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2284 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2285 variable names, pod man pages).
2286 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2287 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2288 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2289 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2290 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2291 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2292 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2364 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2365 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2458 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2460 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2461 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2463 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2464 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2465 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2467 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2469 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2470 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2471 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2708 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2709 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2710 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2711 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2712 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2713 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2714 notice until v2 is complete.
2715 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2716 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2717 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2718 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2719 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2720 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2722 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2723 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2724 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2937 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

3076 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3077 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3078 I made some changes, though:
3079 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3080 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3081 that is a clear violation of policy.
3082 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3083 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3084 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3085 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3086 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3087 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3088 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3089 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3090 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3092 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3259 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3260 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3261 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3262 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3263 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3264 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3265 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3266 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3267 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4061 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
4062 effect, either. (#30118)

4215 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4216 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4217 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4218 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4219 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4220 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4221 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4261 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all

4586 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4587 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4588 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4589 past week. Thanks, guys!
4591 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4592 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4593 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4594 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4595 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4596 would do in the same situation.
4597 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4598 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4600 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4602 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4603 permissions changed.
4604 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4605 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4606 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4607 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4608 files are treated identically.
4609 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4610 * Minor man page fixes.
4611 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4612 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4613 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4622 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4623 use -X multiple times, too.
4624 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4625 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4650 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4651 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

5047 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
5048 the dh_* programs (#15497).
5049 * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

5102 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5103 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5104 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5105 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5106 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5167 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5168 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5169 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5170 multiple binary packages.
5171 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5172 should rebuild them with this version.
5173 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5191 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5193 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5194 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5195 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5196 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5197 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5198 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5199 debian/README.debian.
5200 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5201 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5202 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5203 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5204 in a few situations.)

5235 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5237 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5238 is ready for general use.
5239 * Added man pages for all commands.
5240 * Multiple binary package support.
5241 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5242 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5243 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5245 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5246 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5247 auto-installed as parameters.
5248 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5250 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5253 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5254 the package build directory it is to act on.
5255 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5256 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5257 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
