4 being acted on, look at the total number of binary packages in the
5 source package when deciding whether to install to debian/package or

7 packages using the binary-indep and binary-arch targets.

610 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
611 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

613 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
614 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.

616 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
617 specific python version. Closes: #373853
618 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
619 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
621 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
622 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
623 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
624 the not too-distant future).
625 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
626 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

2325 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2326 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2327 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2328 dh_install, which ...
2329 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2330 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2331 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2332 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2333 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2334 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2335 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2336 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2337 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2338 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2339 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2340 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2341 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2342 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2343 other minor changes.
2344 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2345 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2346 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2347 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2348 course there's -X ..)
2349 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2350 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2351 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2353 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2354 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2355 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2356 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2357 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2401 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2402 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2404 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2405 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2432 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2434 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2435 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2436 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2437 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2438 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2439 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2440 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2441 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2442 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2443 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2444 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2445 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2446 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2447 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2448 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2449 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2451 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2469 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2470 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2471 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2472 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2486 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2487 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2488 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2489 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2490 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2491 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2492 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2493 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2494 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2672 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2673 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2674 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2675 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2676 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2677 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2678 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2679 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2680 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2682 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2704 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2705 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2706 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2707 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2708 program those options go to. So, for example,
2709 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2710 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2852 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2853 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2854 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2855 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2856 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2857 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2912 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2914 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2915 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2916 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2917 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2918 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2919 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2920 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2921 but is mildly deprecated.
2922 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2923 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2924 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2925 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2926 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2927 switching to statoverrides..
2928 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2929 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2930 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2931 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2932 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2933 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2935 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2936 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2937 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2938 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2939 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2940 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2941 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2942 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2943 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2945 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2946 variable names, pod man pages).
2947 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2948 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2949 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2950 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2951 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2952 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2953 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3022 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
3023 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
3024 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
3025 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3026 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
3027 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
3028 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
3029 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
3030 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
3031 it is an obsolete program.

3116 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3117 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3118 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3119 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3120 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3121 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3122 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3124 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3125 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3126 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3128 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3130 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3131 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3132 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3133 should now be raised to severity important..
3134 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3135 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3174 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
3175 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3176 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3177 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3178 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3191 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on

3193 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3194 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3195 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3369 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3370 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3371 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3372 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3373 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3374 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3375 notice until v2 is complete.
3376 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3377 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3378 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3379 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3380 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3381 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3383 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3384 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3385 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3594 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3595 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3596 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3597 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3598 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3599 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3600 bits until all files have been registered.

3609 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3610 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3611 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3612 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3613 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3614 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3615 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3616 otherwise change the result at all.
3618 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3619 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3620 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3641 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3642 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3643 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3644 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3738 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3739 I made some changes, though:
3740 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3741 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3742 that is a clear violation of policy.
3743 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3744 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3745 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3746 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3747 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3748 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3749 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3750 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3751 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3753 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3797 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3798 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3799 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3918 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3919 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3920 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3921 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3922 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3923 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3924 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3925 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3926 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3927 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3928 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3938 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

4023 debhelper (2.0.19) unstable; urgency=low
4025 * dh_installinfo: fixed bug if a info file had no section.

4029 debhelper (2.0.18) unstable; urgency=low
4031 * dh_installxaw: fixed multiple stanza problem, for real this time (patch
4032 misapplied last time). (Closes: #41862)

4036 debhelper (2.0.17) unstable; urgency=low
4038 * dh_clean: compat() wasn't exported.
4040 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 21 Jul 1999 12:49:52 -0700
4042 debhelper (2.0.16) unstable; urgency=low
4044 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
4045 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
4046 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this
4047 ever happenning, but it pays to be safe.

4051 debhelper (2.0.15) unstable; urgency=low
4053 * dh_clean: only force-remove debian/tmp if in v2 mode. In v1 mode, we
4054 shouldn't remove it because we may only be acting on a single package.
4057 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 20 Jul 1999 19:00:15 -0700
4059 debhelper (2.0.14) unstable; urgency=low
4061 * Moved /usr/lib/debhelper to /usr/share/debhelper for FHS compliance
4062 (#41174). If you used Dh_lib or something in another package, be sure to
4063 update your "use" line and declare an appropriate dependancy. (Closes:
4065 * dh_installxaw: Patch from Josip Rodin <joy@cibalia.gkvk.hr> to fix
4066 multiple-stanza xaw file support. (Closes: #41173)

4070 debhelper (2.0.13) unstable; urgency=low
4072 * dh_fixperms: FHS fixes (#41058)

4076 debhelper (2.0.12) unstable; urgency=low
4078 * dh_installinfo: fixed #SECTION# substitution.

4082 debhelper (2.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
4084 * At long, long last, dh_installinfo is written. It takes a simple list of
4085 info files and figures out the rest for you. (Closes: #15717)
4087 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Jul 1999 17:04:48 -0700
4089 debhelper (2.0.10) unstable; urgency=low
4091 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
4092 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
4093 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable
4095 * dh_compress: removed the usr/share/X11R6/man bit. Note part of FHS.
4097 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Jul 1999 10:46:03 -0700
4099 debhelper (2.0.09) unstable; urgency=low
4101 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
4102 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
4103 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
4104 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

4108 debhelper (2.0.08) unstable; urgency=low
4110 * dh_*: redirect cd output to /den/null, because CD can actually output
4111 things if CDPATH is set.
4113 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 6 Jul 1999 10:14:00 -0700
4115 debhelper (2.0.07) unstable; urgency=low
4117 * Added dh_perl calls to example rules files.
4119 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 4 Jul 1999 15:57:51 -0700
4121 debhelper (2.0.06) unstable; urgency=low
4123 * Now depends on perl5 | perl, I'll kill the | perl bit later on, but it
4124 seems to make sense for the transition.

4128 debhelper (2.0.05) unstable; urgency=low
4130 * dh_clean: clean debian/tmp even if v2 is being used. If you're
4131 using dh_movefiles, stuff may well be left in there, and it needs to be
4134 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 3 Jul 1999 13:23:46 -0700
4136 debhelper (2.0.04) unstable; urgency=low
4138 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
4139 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
4140 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)
4142 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 2 Jul 1999 11:22:00 -0700
4144 debhelper (2.0.03) unstable; urgency=low
4146 * Depend on file >= 2.23-1, because dh_perl uses file -b, introduced at
4147 that version. (Closes: #40589)
4149 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:41:12 -0700
4151 debhelper (2.0.02) unstable; urgency=low
4153 * If you're going to use v2, it's reccommended you call
4154 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.
4155 * Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest
4156 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
4157 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...
4159 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:08:14 -0700
4161 debhelper (2.0.01) unstable; urgency=low
4163 * Actually include doc/v2 this time round.
4165 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:01:55 -0700
4167 debhelper (2.0.00) unstable; urgency=low
4169 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
4170 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
4171 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
4172 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4173 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
4174 * debhelper.1: documented this.
4175 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
4176 current compatability level is equal to that number.
4177 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.
4178 * debhelper itself now builds using DH_COMPAT=2.
4179 * dh_debstd forces DH_COMPAT=1, because it needs to stay compatable with

4184 debhelper (1.9.00) unstable; urgency=low
4186 * This is a release of debhelper in preparation for debhelper v2.
4187 * doc/v2: added, documented status of v2 changes.
4188 * README: mention doc/v2
4189 * debhelper.1: docuimented DH_COMPAT
4190 * examples/*: added DH_COMAPT=1 to top of rules files

4194 debhelper (1.2.83) unstable; urgency=medium
4196 * dh_perl: fixed substvars typo. Urgency medium since a lot of people will
4197 be using this script RSN.

4201 debhelper (1.2.82) unstable; urgency=low
4203 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
4204 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
4205 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
4206 more than 1 init script.
4208 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 25 Jun 1999 11:38:05 -0700
4210 debhelper (1.2.81) unstable; urgency=low
4212 * dh_link: fixed bug #40159 and added a regression test for it. It was
4213 failing if it was given absolute filenames.
4215 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 25 Jun 1999 10:12:44 -0700
4217 debhelper (1.2.80) unstable; urgency=low
4219 * Changed perl version detection.
4220 * Changed call to find.

4224 debhelper (1.2.79) unstable; urgency=low
4226 * Added dh_perl by Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr>. dh_perl handles
4227 finding dependancies of perl scripts, plus deleting those annoying

4234 debhelper (1.2.78) unstable; urgency=low
4236 * Really include dh_installpam.
4238 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 15 Jun 1999 09:00:36 -0700
4240 debhelper (1.2.77) unstable; urgency=low
4242 * dh_installpam: new program by Sean <shaleh@foo.livenet.net>
4243 * Wrote man page for same.
4245 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 11 Jun 1999 13:08:04 -0700
4247 debhelper (1.2.76) unstable; urgency=low
4249 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4250 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4251 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.
4254 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999 20:20:01 -0700
4256 debhelper (1.2.75) unstable; urgency=low
4258 * dh_installemacsen: fixed perms of install, remove scripts.

4263 debhelper (1.2.74) unstable; urgency=low
4265 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
4266 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4267 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)
4268 * The previous fix to dh_installemacsen was actually quite necessary - the
4269 x bit was being set!
4271 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 15:14:27 -0700
4273 debhelper (1.2.73) unstable; urgency=low
4275 * dh_installemacsen: make sure files are installed mode 0644. Not strictly
4276 necessary since dh_fixperms fixes them if you have a wacky umask, but oh
4277 well. (Closes: 38900)
4279 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:50:42 -0700
4281 debhelper (1.2.72) unstable; urgency=low
4283 * dh_installemacsen: use debian/package.emacsen-startup, not
4284 debian/package.emacsen-init. The former has always been documented to
4285 work on the man page (closes: #38898).
4287 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:16:57 -0700
4289 debhelper (1.2.71) unstable; urgency=low
4291 * Fixed a typo (closes: #38881)

4295 debhelper (1.2.70) unstable; urgency=low
4297 * dh_installmanpages: Properly quoted metacharacters in $dir in regexp.

4302 debhelper (1.2.69) unstable; urgency=low
4304 * Don't include Test.pm in the binary package.

4308 debhelper (1.2.68) unstable; urgency=low
4310 * doc/README: updated example of using #DEBHELPER# in a perl script, with
4311 help from Julian Gilbey.
4312 * dh_link: generate absolute symlinks where appropriate. The links
4313 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
4314 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
4315 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
4316 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
4317 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.
4318 * dh_installchangelogs: force all installed files to be owned by root

4323 debhelper (1.2.67) unstable; urgency=low
4325 * dh_installmodules: fixed type that made the program not work.

4342 debhelper (1.2.64) unstable; urgency=low
4344 * dh_installmime: new command (#37093, #32684).

4348 debhelper (1.2.63) unstable; urgency=low
4350 * dh_installxaw: updated to work with xaw-wrappers 0.90 and above. It
4351 actually has to partially parse the xaw-wrappers config files now.
4353 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 2 May 1999 19:13:34 -0700
4355 debhelper (1.2.62) unstable; urgency=low
4357 * dh_installemacsen: added support for site-start files. Added --flavor
4358 and --number to control details of installation. (#36832)
4360 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 2 May 1999 15:31:58 -0700
4362 debhelper (1.2.61) unstable; urgency=low
4364 * dh_md5sums.1: dh_md5sums is not deprecated, AFAIK, but the manpage has
4365 somehow been modified to say it was at version 1.2.45.
4367 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 26 Apr 1999 19:54:04 -0700
4369 debhelper (1.2.60) unstable; urgency=low
4371 * dh_installexamples.1: recycled docs fix.

4375 debhelper (1.2.59) unstable; urgency=low
4377 * dh_builddeb: added --destdir option, which lets you tell it where
4378 to put the generated .deb's. Default is .. of course.
4380 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 22 Apr 1999 22:02:01 -0700
4382 debhelper (1.2.58) unstable; urgency=low
4384 * autoscripts/postinst-suid: use /#FILE# in elif test (#36297).

4388 debhelper (1.2.57) unstable; urgency=low
4390 * examples/*: killed trailing spaces after diff: target

4394 debhelper (1.2.56) unstable; urgency=low
4396 * dh_suidregister: make the chown/chmod only happen if the file actually
4397 exists. This is useful if you have conffiles that have permissions and
4398 may be deleted. (#35845)
4400 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 10 Apr 1999 13:35:23 -0700
4402 debhelper (1.2.55) unstable; urgency=low
4404 * Various man page enhancements.

4410 debhelper (1.2.54) unstable; urgency=low
4412 * dh_installinit.1: man page fixups (#34160).
4413 * *.1: the date of each man page is now automatically updated when
4414 debhelper is built to be the last modification time of the man page.
4416 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 8 Apr 1999 20:28:00 -0700
4418 debhelper (1.2.53) unstable; urgency=low
4420 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
4421 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.
4422 Probably fixes #35677. Actually, it now skips files with a whole
4423 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and
4425 * dh_compress.1: updated docs to reflect this, and to give the new
4426 suggested starting point if you want to write your own debian/compress

4437 debhelper (1.2.51) unstable; urgency=low

4449 debhelper (1.2.49) unstable; urgency=low
4451 * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of
4452 even symlinks. This could have even caused it to follow the symlinks and
4453 modify files on the build system in some cases. Ignores them now. (#35102)

4463 debhelper (1.2.47) unstable; urgency=low

4477 debhelper (1.2.45) unstable; urgency=low
4479 * dh_installwm.1: fixed two errors (#34534, #34535)

4481 (automatically generated by build process).

4491 debhelper (1.2.43) unstable; urgency=low
4493 * dh_compress.1: man page fixes (Closes: #33858).
4494 * dh_compress: now it can handle compressing arbitrary numbers of files,
4495 spawning gzip multiple times like xargs does, if necessary.
4497 * Dh_Lib.pm: added xargs() command.

4501 debhelper (1.2.42) unstable; urgency=low

4504 files. Yes, someone found a legitimate reason to do that.

4879 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4880 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4881 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5046 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5047 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5058 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5059 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5060 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5061 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5062 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5063 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5064 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5065 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5066 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5068 passed any switches.

5080 large chunks in the process.

5249 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5250 past week. Thanks, guys!
5252 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5253 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5254 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5255 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5256 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5257 would do in the same situation.
5258 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5259 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5261 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5263 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5264 permissions changed.
5265 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5266 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5267 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5268 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5269 files are treated identically.
5270 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5283 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5284 use -X multiple times, too.
5285 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5286 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5546 argument processor in perl.

5559 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
5560 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
5561 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5562 are supported. (#16935)
5563 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

5577 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
5579 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
5580 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5581 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
5582 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
5583 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

5588 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
5590 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5591 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
5592 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
5594 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
5595 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5596 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5597 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5598 a given package, or -i or -a.
5599 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5600 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5601 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5602 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5603 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5604 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5605 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5606 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5607 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
5609 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
5610 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
5611 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

5633 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
5634 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
5635 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

5648 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
5649 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.

5682 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5683 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5684 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5685 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5686 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5687 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5688 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5858 it is installed as TODO.Debian.

5860 debian/README.debian.

5862 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5863 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5864 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5865 in a few situations.)

5911 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5914 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5915 the package build directory it is to act on.
5916 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5917 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
