51 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
52 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
53 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
54 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
55 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

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

1382 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
1383 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
1384 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
1385 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the

1531 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1532 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1533 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1534 dh_install, which ...
1535 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1536 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1537 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1538 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1539 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1540 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1541 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1542 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1543 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1544 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1545 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1546 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1547 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1548 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1549 other minor changes.
1550 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1551 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1552 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1553 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of

1608 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1610 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

1638 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1640 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1641 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1642 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1643 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1644 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1645 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1646 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1647 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1648 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1649 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1650 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1651 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1652 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1653 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1654 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1655 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1657 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1692 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1693 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1694 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1695 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1696 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1697 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1698 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1699 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

2046 * Fixed broken -e #SCRIPT# tests in init script start/stop/restart code.
2047 Arrgh. All packages built with the old code (that is, all daemon
2048 packages built with debhelper 3.0.9!) are broken. Closes: #89472

2054 * Modified to use dpkg-architecture instead of dpkg --print-architecture.
2055 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
2056 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
2057 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2058 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2059 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2060 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2061 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2062 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2063 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2064 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2065 Closes: #88464, #77743
2066 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
2067 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
2068 us to deal with that gracefully.
2069 * dh_makeshlibs: now uses objdump, should be more accurate. Closes:
2071 * Wildcards have been supported for a while, Closes: #54197

2118 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2120 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2121 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2122 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2123 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2124 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2125 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2126 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2127 but is mildly deprecated.
2128 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2129 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2130 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2131 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2132 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2133 switching to statoverrides..
2134 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2135 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2136 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2137 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2138 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2139 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2141 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2142 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2143 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2144 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2145 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2146 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2147 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2148 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2149 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2151 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2152 variable names, pod man pages).
2153 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2154 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2155 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2156 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2157 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2158 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2159 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2228 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
2229 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2230 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2231 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2232 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2233 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2234 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2235 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2236 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
2237 it is an obsolete program.

2325 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2326 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2327 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2328 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2330 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2331 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2332 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2334 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2336 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2337 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2338 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2339 should now be raised to severity important..

2382 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2383 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2575 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2576 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2577 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2578 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2579 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2580 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2581 notice until v2 is complete.
2582 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2583 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2584 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2585 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2586 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2587 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2589 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2590 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2591 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2592 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2716 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2803 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2804 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2805 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2806 bits until all files have been registered.

2945 I made some changes, though:
2946 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2947 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2948 that is a clear violation of policy.
2949 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2950 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2951 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2952 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2953 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2954 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2955 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2956 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2957 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2959 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3122 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3123 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3124 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3125 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3126 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3127 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3128 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3129 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3130 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3131 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3132 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3133 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3134 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3140 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3141 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3142 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3144 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3145 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3146 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3147 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3148 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3149 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4063 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
4064 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4065 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4066 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4067 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4081 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4082 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4083 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4084 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4085 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4086 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4087 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4088 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4127 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4128 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4129 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4130 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4131 things you don't want them to.

4194 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4195 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4196 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

4459 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4460 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4461 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4462 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4463 would do in the same situation.

4474 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two

4803 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4804 a given package, or -i or -a.
4805 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4806 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4807 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4808 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4809 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4810 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4812 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5040 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5044 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
5046 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
5047 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

5051 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low

5056 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 17 Oct 1997 14:18:26 -0400
5058 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5060 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5061 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5062 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5063 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5064 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5065 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5066 debian/README.debian.
5067 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5068 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5069 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5070 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5071 in a few situations.)

5075 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low

5081 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

5100 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400
5102 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5104 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5105 is ready for general use.
5106 * Added man pages for all commands.
5107 * Multiple binary package support.
5108 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5109 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5110 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5112 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5113 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5114 auto-installed as parameters.
5115 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5117 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5120 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5121 the package build directory it is to act on.
5122 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5123 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5124 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
