6 * dh_installmodules: depmod -a is no longer run during boot, so if a module
7 package is installed for a kernel other than the running kernel, just
8 running depmod -a in the postinst is no longer sufficient. Instead, run
9 depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-<kvers> <kvers>
10 The kernel version is guessed at based on the path to the modules in the
11 package. Closes: #301424

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

82 /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/*, update call to update-fonts-alias and the man page

93 really the first person to run into the case of a source package that

95 the binary-arch target needs to use -s and do nothing when run on some

208 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
209 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
210 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
211 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
212 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change

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

363 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
364 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5

366 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
367 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1689 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1690 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1691 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1692 dh_install, which ...
1693 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1694 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1695 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1696 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1697 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1698 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1699 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1700 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1701 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1702 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1703 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1704 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1705 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1706 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1707 other minor changes.
1708 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1709 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1710 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1711 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1712 course there's -X ..)
1713 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1714 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1715 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1717 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1718 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1719 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1720 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1721 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1765 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1766 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1768 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1769 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1796 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1798 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1799 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1800 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1801 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1802 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1803 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1804 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1805 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1806 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1807 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1808 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1809 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1810 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1811 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1812 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1813 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1815 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1833 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1834 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1835 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

1850 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1851 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1852 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1853 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1854 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1855 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1856 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1857 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1858 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2036 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2037 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2038 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2039 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2040 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2041 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2042 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2043 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2044 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2064 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
2066 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2067 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2068 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2069 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2070 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2071 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2072 program those options go to. So, for example,
2073 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2074 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2075 something complex. Closes: #89311

2213 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
2214 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
2215 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2216 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2217 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2218 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2219 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2220 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2221 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2222 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2223 Closes: #88464, #77743
2224 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
2225 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
2226 us to deal with that gracefully.

2276 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2278 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2279 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2280 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2281 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2282 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2283 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2284 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2285 but is mildly deprecated.
2286 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2287 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2288 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2289 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2290 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2291 switching to statoverrides..
2292 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2293 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2294 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2295 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2296 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2297 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2299 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2300 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2301 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2302 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2303 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2304 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2305 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2306 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2307 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2309 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2310 variable names, pod man pages).
2311 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2312 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2313 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2314 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2315 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2316 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2317 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2389 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2390 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2391 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2392 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2393 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2394 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that

2483 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2485 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2486 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2488 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2489 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2490 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2492 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2494 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2495 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2496 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2538 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
2539 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2540 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2541 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2542 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2554 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
2555 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
2556 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
2557 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2558 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2559 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2731 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2733 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2734 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2735 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2736 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2737 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2738 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2739 notice until v2 is complete.
2740 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2741 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2742 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2743 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2744 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2745 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2747 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2748 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2749 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2750 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2874 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2961 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2962 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

2976 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2977 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100

3102 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3103 I made some changes, though:
3104 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3105 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3106 that is a clear violation of policy.
3107 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3108 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3109 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3110 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3111 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3112 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3113 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3114 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3115 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3117 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3285 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3286 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3287 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3288 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3289 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3290 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3291 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3292 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3567 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
3568 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
3569 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
3570 more than 1 init script.

3613 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3614 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3615 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3630 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3631 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3677 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
3678 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
3679 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

3785 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

3787 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

4001 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

4084 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
4085 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
4086 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
4087 effect, either. (#30118)

4222 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4223 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4224 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4225 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4239 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4240 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4241 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4242 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4243 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4244 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4245 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4246 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4282 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4283 sections of shared libraries.

4285 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4286 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4287 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4288 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4289 things you don't want them to.

4319 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page

4353 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4354 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

4612 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4613 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4614 past week. Thanks, guys!
4616 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4617 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4618 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4619 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4620 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4621 would do in the same situation.
4622 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4623 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4625 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4627 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4628 permissions changed.
4629 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4630 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4631 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4632 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4633 files are treated identically.
4634 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4647 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4648 use -X multiple times, too.

5046 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5047 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5048 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5049 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5050 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5051 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5052 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5071 * dh_installdirs: Do not create usr/doc/$PACKAGE directory. Bug #15498
5072 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
5073 the dh_* programs (#15497).
5074 * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

5101 README.Debian is installed with the same name..)

5124 debhelper (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
5126 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
5127 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5128 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5129 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5130 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5131 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5183 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5184 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5185 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5186 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5190 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5192 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5193 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5194 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5195 multiple binary packages.
5196 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5197 should rebuild them with this version.
5198 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5216 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5218 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5219 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5220 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5221 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5222 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5223 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5224 debian/README.debian.
5225 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5226 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5227 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5228 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5229 in a few situations.)

5260 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5262 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5263 is ready for general use.
5264 * Added man pages for all commands.
5265 * Multiple binary package support.
5266 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5267 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5268 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5270 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5271 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5272 auto-installed as parameters.
5273 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5275 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5278 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5279 the package build directory it is to act on.
5280 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5281 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5282 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
