1306 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1307 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1308 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1309 dh_install, which ...
1310 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1311 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1312 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1313 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1314 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1315 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1316 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1317 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1318 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1319 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1320 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1321 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1322 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1323 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1324 other minor changes.
1325 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1326 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1327 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1328 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1329 course there's -X ..)
1330 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1331 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1332 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1334 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1335 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1336 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1337 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1338 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1382 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1383 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1384 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1385 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1386 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1413 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1415 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1416 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1417 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1418 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1419 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1420 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1421 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1422 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1423 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1424 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1425 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1426 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1427 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1428 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1429 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1430 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1432 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1449 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
1450 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1451 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1452 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
1453 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

1467 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1468 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1469 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1470 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1471 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1472 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1473 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1474 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1475 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1651 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1652 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1653 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1654 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1655 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1656 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1657 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1658 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1659 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1660 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1661 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1663 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1684 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1685 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1686 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1687 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1688 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1689 program those options go to. So, for example,
1690 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1691 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1833 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1834 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1835 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1836 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1837 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1838 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1839 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

1895 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1896 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1897 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1898 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1899 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1901 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1902 but is mildly deprecated.
1903 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1904 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1905 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1906 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1907 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1908 switching to statoverrides..
1909 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1910 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1911 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1912 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1913 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1914 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1916 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1917 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1918 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1919 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1920 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1921 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1922 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1923 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1924 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1926 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1927 variable names, pod man pages).
1928 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1929 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1930 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1931 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1932 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1933 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1934 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2097 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2098 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2099 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2100 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2101 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2102 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2103 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2105 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2106 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2107 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2109 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2111 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2112 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2113 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2114 should now be raised to severity important..
2115 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2116 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2157 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2158 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2159 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2174 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2175 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2176 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2350 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2351 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2352 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2353 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2354 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2355 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2356 notice until v2 is complete.
2357 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2358 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2359 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2360 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2361 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2362 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2364 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2365 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2366 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2488 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2489 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2491 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2492 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2493 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2494 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2575 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
2576 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
2577 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2578 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2579 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2580 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2581 bits until all files have been registered.

2588 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
2589 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
2590 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
2591 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2592 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2593 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2594 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2595 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2596 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2597 otherwise change the result at all.
2599 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2600 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2601 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
2602 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

2619 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2620 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2622 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2623 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2624 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2625 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2719 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2720 I made some changes, though:
2721 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2722 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2723 that is a clear violation of policy.
2724 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2725 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2726 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2727 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2728 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2729 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2730 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2731 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2732 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2734 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2776 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2777 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2778 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2779 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2780 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
2781 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

2898 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2899 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2900 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2901 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2902 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2903 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2904 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2905 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2906 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2907 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2908 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2909 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2919 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2920 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2921 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2922 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2923 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2924 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3042 * Moved /usr/lib/debhelper to /usr/share/debhelper for FHS compliance
3043 (#41174). If you used Dh_lib or something in another package, be sure to
3044 update your "use" line and declare an appropriate dependancy. (Closes:

3066 info files and figures out the rest for you. (Closes: #15717)

3072 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
3073 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
3074 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable

3082 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3083 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
3084 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
3085 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

3135 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.

3137 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
3138 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

3152 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
3153 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3154 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
3155 * debhelper.1: documented this.
3156 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
3157 current compatability level is equal to that number.
3158 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.

3185 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.

3230 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3231 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3232 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3246 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
3247 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3248 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3250 x bit was being set!

3294 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
3295 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
3296 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
3297 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
3298 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

3401 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
3402 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

3404 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

3860 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3861 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3862 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4040 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4041 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4042 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4043 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4044 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4045 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4046 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4047 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4048 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4049 passed any switches.
4050 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

4230 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4231 past week. Thanks, guys!
4233 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4234 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4235 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4236 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4237 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4238 would do in the same situation.
4239 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4240 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4242 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4244 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4245 permissions changed.
4246 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4247 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4248 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4249 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4250 files are treated identically.
4251 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4264 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4265 use -X multiple times, too.

4542 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4543 are supported. (#16935)

4578 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4579 a given package, or -i or -a.
4580 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4581 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

4583 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

4585 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4666 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
