1 debhelper (8.1.3) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
3 * dh_auto_clean: Inhibit logging, so that, if dh_auto_clean is used
4 in some rule other than clean, perhaps to clean up an intermediate
5 build before a second build is run, debian/rules clean still runs it.
7 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more
8 changes may be added to that mode.
9 * Support multiarch in v9. Thanks, Steve Langasek. Closes: #617761
10 * dh_auto_configure: Support multiarch in v9 by passing multiarch
11 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
12 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
13 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
14 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
15 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
16 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.
17 * Removed old example rules files.

30 * dh_strip, dh_makeshlibs: use triplet-objdump, triplet-objcopy and
31 triplet-strip from cross-binutils when cross-compiling; Closes: #412118.
33 * Improve handling of logging in override targets, so that
34 --remaining-packages can be used again. Now all debhelper commands run
35 in the override target are marked as running as part of the override,
36 and when the whole target is run, the log is updated to indicate that
37 commands run during the override have finished. Closes: #612828

44 * python_distutils: Pass --force to setup.py build, to ensure that when
45 python-dbg is run it does not win and result in scripts having it in

49 * Large update to Spanish man page translations by Omar Campagne.
51 * dh_installdeb: Support debian/package.maintscript files,
52 which can contain dpkg-maintscript-helper commands. This can be used
53 to automate moving or removing conffiles, or anything added to
54 dpkg-maintscript-helper later on. Closes: #574443

58 * Explicitly build-depend on a new enough perl-base. Closes: #601188
59 * dh: Inhibit logging when an override target runs the overridden command,
60 to avoid unexpected behavior if the command succeeded but the overall

64 * dh: Improve filtering in dh_listpackages example. Closes: #604561

70 * dh_installdocs: Clarify that debian/README.Debian and debian/TODO are
71 only installed into the first package listed in debian/control.
73 * dh_compress: Javascript files are not compressed, as these go with
74 (uncompressed) html files. Closes: #603553

114 * Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
115 changes are planned for that mode.
116 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
117 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
118 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
119 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
120 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
121 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
122 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
123 (genesis) still uses them.
124 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
125 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
126 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
127 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
128 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
129 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
130 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
131 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
132 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
133 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
134 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
135 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
136 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
137 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
138 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
139 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
140 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
141 commands. (See #570039)
142 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
144 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

188 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
189 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
191 * Typo. Closes: #571968
192 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
193 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
194 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
195 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
196 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
197 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
198 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077

319 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
320 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
321 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
322 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
323 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when

564 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
565 contributed by Modestas Vainius
566 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
567 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
568 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
569 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
570 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
571 that support it. Closes: #480577
572 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
573 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
574 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
576 - Adds support for cmake.
577 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
578 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
580 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
582 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
583 that use them. The options are:
584 --sourcedir, --destdir
585 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
586 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
587 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
588 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
589 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

654 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
655 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
656 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
657 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
658 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

1046 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
1047 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
1048 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting

1561 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1562 specific python version. Closes: #373853

1564 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1566 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1567 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1568 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

3271 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3272 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3273 dh_install, which ...
3274 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3275 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3276 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3277 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3278 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3279 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3280 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3281 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3282 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3283 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3284 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3285 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3286 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3287 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3288 other minor changes.
3289 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3290 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3291 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3292 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3293 course there's -X ..)
3294 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3295 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3296 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3298 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3299 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

3377 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3379 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3380 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3381 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3382 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3383 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3384 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3385 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3386 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3387 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3388 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3389 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3390 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3391 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3392 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3393 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3394 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3396 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3432 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3433 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3434 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3435 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3436 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3437 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3438 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

3615 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3616 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3617 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3618 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3619 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3620 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3621 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3622 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3623 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3624 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3625 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3627 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3648 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3649 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3650 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3651 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3652 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3653 program those options go to. So, for example,
3654 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3655 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3797 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3798 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3799 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3800 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3801 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3802 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3803 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3857 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3859 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3860 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3861 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3862 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3863 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3864 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3865 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3866 but is mildly deprecated.
3867 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3868 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3869 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3870 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3871 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3872 switching to statoverrides..
3873 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3874 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3875 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3876 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3877 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3878 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3880 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3881 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3882 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3883 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3884 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3885 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3886 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3887 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3888 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3890 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3891 variable names, pod man pages).
3892 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3893 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3894 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3895 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3896 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3897 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3898 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4062 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility:
4063 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
4064 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4065 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4066 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4067 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4069 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4070 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4071 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4073 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4075 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4076 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4077 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4078 should now be raised to severity important..
4079 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4080 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4314 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4315 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4316 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4317 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4318 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4319 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4320 notice until v2 is complete.
4321 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4322 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4323 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4324 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4325 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4326 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4328 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4539 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
4540 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4541 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4542 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4543 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4544 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4545 bits until all files have been registered.

4554 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4555 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4556 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4557 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4558 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4559 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4560 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4561 otherwise change the result at all.
4563 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4564 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4565 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4586 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4587 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4588 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4589 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4683 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4684 I made some changes, though:
4685 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4686 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4687 that is a clear violation of policy.
4688 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4689 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4690 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4691 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4692 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4693 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4694 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4695 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4696 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4698 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4742 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4743 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4744 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4863 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4864 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4865 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4866 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4867 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4868 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4869 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4870 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4871 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4872 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4873 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5211 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
5212 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5824 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5825 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5826 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

6000 * dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
6001 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
6002 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
6003 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
6004 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
6005 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
6006 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6007 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6008 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6009 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6010 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6011 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
6012 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
6013 passed any switches.

6024 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
6025 large chunks in the process.
6026 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
6027 install many oddly named files it died on before.

6194 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6195 past week. Thanks, guys!
6197 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6198 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6199 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6200 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6201 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6202 would do in the same situation.
6203 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6204 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6206 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6208 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6209 permissions changed.
6210 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6211 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6212 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6213 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6214 files are treated identically.
6215 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6228 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6229 use -X multiple times, too.
6230 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

6504 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6506 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6507 are supported. (#16935)

6540 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6541 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6542 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6543 a given package, or -i or -a.
6544 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6545 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6546 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6547 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6548 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6549 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6551 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6630 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6631 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
