104 * Update of dh_python
105 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
106 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
107 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
108 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
109 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
110 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
111 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
112 specific python version. Closes: #373853
113 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
114 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
116 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
117 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
118 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
119 the not too-distant future).
120 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
121 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
122 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
123 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
124 thus made the build fail.

1820 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1821 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1822 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1823 dh_install, which ...
1824 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1825 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1826 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1827 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1828 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1829 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1830 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1831 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1832 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1833 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1834 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1835 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1836 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1837 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1838 other minor changes.
1839 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1840 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1841 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1842 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1843 course there's -X ..)
1844 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1845 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1846 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1848 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1849 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

1927 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1929 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1930 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1931 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1932 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1933 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1934 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1935 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1936 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1937 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1938 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1939 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1940 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1941 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1942 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1943 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1944 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1946 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1981 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1982 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1983 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1984 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1985 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1986 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1987 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1988 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1989 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2163 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2165 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2166 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2167 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2168 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2169 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2170 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2171 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2172 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2173 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2174 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2175 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2176 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2177 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2195 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
2197 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2198 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2199 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2200 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2201 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2202 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2203 program those options go to. So, for example,
2204 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2205 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2206 something complex. Closes: #89311

2344 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for

2346 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2347 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2348 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2349 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2350 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2351 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2352 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2353 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2354 Closes: #88464, #77743

2407 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2409 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2410 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2411 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2412 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2413 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2414 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2415 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2416 but is mildly deprecated.
2417 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2418 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2419 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2420 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2421 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2422 switching to statoverrides..
2423 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2424 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2425 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2426 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2427 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2428 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2430 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2431 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2432 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2433 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2434 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2435 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2436 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2437 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2438 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2440 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2441 variable names, pod man pages).
2442 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2443 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2444 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2445 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2446 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2447 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2448 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2611 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2612 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2613 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2614 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2615 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2616 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2617 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2619 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2620 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2621 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2623 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2625 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2626 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2627 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2628 should now be raised to severity important..
2629 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2630 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2671 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2672 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2688 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2689 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2690 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2862 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2864 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2865 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2866 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2867 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2868 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2869 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2870 notice until v2 is complete.
2871 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2872 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2873 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2874 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2875 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2876 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2878 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2879 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2880 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3089 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3090 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3091 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3092 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3093 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3094 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3095 bits until all files have been registered.

3102 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely

3104 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3105 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3106 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3107 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3108 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3109 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3110 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3111 otherwise change the result at all.
3113 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3114 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3115 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3116 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

3133 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3134 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3136 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3137 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3138 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3139 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3232 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3233 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3234 I made some changes, though:
3235 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3236 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3237 that is a clear violation of policy.
3238 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3239 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3240 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3241 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3242 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3243 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3244 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3245 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3246 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3248 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3292 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3293 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3294 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3412 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3413 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3414 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3415 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3416 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3417 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3418 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3419 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3420 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3421 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3422 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3423 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3433 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3435 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that

3438 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3556 * Moved /usr/lib/debhelper to /usr/share/debhelper for FHS compliance
3557 (#41174). If you used Dh_lib or something in another package, be sure to
3558 update your "use" line and declare an appropriate dependancy. (Closes:

3586 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
3587 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
3588 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable

3596 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3597 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
3598 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
3599 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

3652 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

3666 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
3667 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3668 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
3669 * debhelper.1: documented this.
3670 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
3671 current compatability level is equal to that number.

3699 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.

3744 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3745 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3746 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3760 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
3761 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3762 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3764 x bit was being set!

3808 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
3809 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
3810 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
3811 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
3812 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

3915 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
3916 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

3918 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

4374 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4375 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4376 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4554 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4555 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4556 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4557 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4558 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4559 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4560 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4561 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4562 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4563 passed any switches.
4564 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

4744 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4745 past week. Thanks, guys!
4747 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4748 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4749 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4750 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4751 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4752 would do in the same situation.
4753 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4754 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4756 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4758 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4759 permissions changed.
4760 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4761 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4762 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4763 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4764 files are treated identically.
4765 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4778 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4779 use -X multiple times, too.

5054 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
5055 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
5056 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5057 are supported. (#16935)
5058 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

5092 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5093 a given package, or -i or -a.
5094 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5095 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5096 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5097 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

5099 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5101 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5180 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
