36 * Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4.
37 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
38 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
39 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.
40 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
41 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
42 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
43 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
44 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

63 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
65 * Non-maintainer upload.
67 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
68 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
69 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
70 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
71 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
72 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
73 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
74 specific python version. Closes: #373853
75 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
76 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
78 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
79 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
80 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
81 the not too-distant future).
82 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
83 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
84 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
85 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
86 thus made the build fail.

1782 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1783 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1784 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1785 dh_install, which ...
1786 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1787 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1788 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1789 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1790 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1791 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1792 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1793 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1794 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1795 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1796 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1797 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1798 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1799 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1800 other minor changes.
1801 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1802 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1803 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1804 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1805 course there's -X ..)
1806 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1807 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1810 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1811 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1812 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1813 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1814 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1861 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1862 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1889 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1891 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1892 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1893 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1894 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1895 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1896 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1897 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1898 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1899 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1900 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1901 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1902 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1903 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1904 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1905 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1906 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1908 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1943 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1944 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1945 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1946 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1947 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1948 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1949 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1950 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1951 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2127 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2128 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2129 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2130 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2131 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2132 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2133 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2134 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2135 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2136 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2137 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2138 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2139 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2159 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2160 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2161 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2162 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2163 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2164 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2165 program those options go to. So, for example,
2166 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2167 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2308 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2309 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2310 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2311 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2312 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2313 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2314 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2315 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2369 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2371 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2372 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2373 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2374 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2375 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2376 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2377 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2378 but is mildly deprecated.
2379 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2380 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2381 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2382 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2383 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2384 switching to statoverrides..
2385 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2386 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2387 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2388 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2389 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2390 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2392 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2393 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2394 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2395 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2396 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2397 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2398 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2399 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2400 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2402 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2403 variable names, pod man pages).
2404 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2405 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2406 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2407 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2408 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2409 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2410 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2544 * If DH_COMPAT=3 is set, the following happens:
2545 - Various debian/foo files like debian/docs, debian/examples, etc,
2546 begin to support filename globbing. use \* to escape the wildcards of
2547 course. I doubt this will bite anyone (Debian doesn't seem to contain

2573 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2574 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2575 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2576 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2577 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2578 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2579 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2581 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2582 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2583 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2585 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2587 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2588 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2589 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2590 should now be raised to severity important..
2591 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2592 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2633 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2634 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2651 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2652 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2824 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2826 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2827 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2828 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2829 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2830 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2831 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2832 notice until v2 is complete.
2833 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2834 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2835 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2836 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2837 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2838 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2840 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2841 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2842 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3051 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3052 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3053 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3054 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3055 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3056 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3057 bits until all files have been registered.

3063 * dh_installmanpages:
3064 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
3065 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
3066 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3067 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3068 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3069 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3070 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3071 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3072 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3073 otherwise change the result at all.
3075 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3076 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3077 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3078 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

3094 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
3095 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3096 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3098 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3099 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3100 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3101 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3130 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,

3138 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
3139 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
3140 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

3194 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3195 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3196 I made some changes, though:
3197 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3198 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3199 that is a clear violation of policy.
3200 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3201 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3202 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3203 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3204 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3205 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3206 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3207 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3208 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3210 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3252 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3253 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3254 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3255 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3256 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3257 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
3258 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

3374 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3375 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3376 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3377 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3378 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3379 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3380 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3381 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3382 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3383 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3384 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3385 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3395 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3396 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3397 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3398 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows

3400 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3548 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
3549 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
3550 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable

3558 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3559 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3595 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
3596 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base

3614 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

3627 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)

3629 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3630 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

3706 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3707 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3708 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3723 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3724 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3772 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

3878 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

4084 still return true if update-menus is not executable. This can
4085 legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes
4086 postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages

4093 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4094 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
4095 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
4096 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

4121 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4122 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4123 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4124 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
4125 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
4126 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
4127 suidregister actually supports it.
4128 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
4129 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

4142 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4143 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a

4145 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4146 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4147 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.

4149 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4177 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
4178 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not

4317 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

4333 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4334 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4335 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4336 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4337 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4338 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4339 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4376 sections of shared libraries.

4378 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4379 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all

4704 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4705 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4706 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4707 past week. Thanks, guys!
4709 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4710 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4711 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4712 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4713 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4714 would do in the same situation.
4715 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4716 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4718 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4720 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4721 permissions changed.
4722 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4723 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4724 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4725 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4726 files are treated identically.
4727 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4728 * Minor man page fixes.
4729 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4740 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4741 use -X multiple times, too.

5037 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5038 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
5039 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
5040 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
5041 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

5051 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
5052 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5053 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5054 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5055 a given package, or -i or -a.
5056 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5057 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5058 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5059 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5060 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5061 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5062 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5063 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5141 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5142 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5143 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

5320 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5321 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable

5372 the package build directory it is to act on.

5374 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
