32 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
33 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
34 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
35 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change

186 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
187 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
188 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
189 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
190 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1512 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1513 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1514 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1515 dh_install, which ...
1516 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1517 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1518 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1519 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1520 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1521 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1522 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1523 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1524 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1525 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1526 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1527 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1528 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1529 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1530 other minor changes.
1531 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1532 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1533 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1534 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of

1537 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1540 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1541 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

1588 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1589 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1590 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1591 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1592 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1619 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1621 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1622 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1623 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1624 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1625 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1626 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1627 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1628 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1629 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1630 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1631 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1632 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1633 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1634 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1635 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1636 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1638 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1673 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1674 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1675 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1676 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1677 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1678 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1679 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1680 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1681 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1862 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented

1865 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1866 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1867 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2045 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2046 Closes: #88464, #77743
2047 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
2048 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
2049 us to deal with that gracefully.

2053 * dh_installdocs and dh_link have been able to make doc-dir symlinks for

2099 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2101 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2102 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2103 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2104 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2105 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2106 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2107 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2108 but is mildly deprecated.
2109 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2110 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2111 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2112 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2113 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2114 switching to statoverrides..
2115 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2116 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2117 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2118 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2119 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2120 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2122 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2123 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2124 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2125 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2126 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2127 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2128 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2129 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2130 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2132 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2133 variable names, pod man pages).
2134 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2135 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2136 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2137 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2138 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2139 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2140 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2212 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2213 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2215 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2305 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2306 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2307 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2308 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2309 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2311 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2312 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2313 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2315 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2317 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2318 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2319 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2320 should now be raised to severity important..

2364 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2554 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2556 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2557 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2558 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2559 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2560 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2561 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2562 notice until v2 is complete.
2563 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2564 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2565 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2566 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2567 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2568 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2570 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2571 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2572 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2573 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2695 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2697 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2699 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2700 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2783 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2784 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2785 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2786 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2787 bits until all files have been registered.

2797 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2798 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2799 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2800 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2801 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2802 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2803 otherwise change the result at all.
2805 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2806 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2807 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

2926 I made some changes, though:
2927 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2928 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2929 that is a clear violation of policy.
2930 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2931 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2932 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2933 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2934 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2935 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2936 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2937 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2938 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2940 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3104 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3105 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3106 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3107 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3108 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3109 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3110 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3111 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3112 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3113 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3114 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3115 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3122 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3123 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3125 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3126 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3127 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3128 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3129 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3130 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4063 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4064 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4065 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4066 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4067 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4068 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4069 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4111 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do

4543 fixes to the changelog, though - too many, and a changelog isn't meant
4544 to be changed after the fact :-)
4545 * dh_fixperms: remove execute bits from .la files genrated by libtool.

4575 installs symlink man pages from the source package (#19831).

4597 debhelper (0.71) unstable; urgency=low
4599 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
4600 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
4601 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
4602 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
4603 no packages use the old behavior.

4607 debhelper (0.70) unstable; urgency=low
4609 * dh_lib: autoscript(): no longer add the modification date to the
4610 comments aurrounding debhelper-added code. I don't think this date was
4611 gaining us anything, so let's remove it and save some disk space.

4661 debian-policy that du control files are bad.
4662 * examples/*: removed dh_du calls.
4663 * debian/rules: removed dh_du call.

4675 inspired to implement some of it.

4695 debhelper (0.59) unstable; urgency=low
4697 * Added DH_NO_ACT and --no-act, which make debhelper commands run without
4698 actually doing anything. (Combine with -v to see what the command would

4718 to make it not abort of one of the find's fails.

4722 debhelper (0.55) unstable; urgency=low
4724 * dh_clean: delete substvarsfiles probperly again (broken in 0.53). #17077
4725 * Added call to dh_movefiles, and a commented out call to dh_testversion,
4726 to some of the sample rules files. #17076

4730 debhelper (0.54) unstable; urgency=low
4732 * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own
4733 argument processor in perl.
4734 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
4735 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,
4736 dh_installinit -u"defaults 10")
4737 * Now depends on perl (needs Getopt::Long).

4743 * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp
4744 type directories. (#16933)
4745 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
4746 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
4747 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
4748 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4749 are supported. (#16935)
4750 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

4762 debhelper (0.51) unstable; urgency=low
4764 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
4766 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
4767 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4768 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
4769 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
4770 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
4771 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

4775 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
4777 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4778 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
4779 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
4781 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
4782 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4783 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4784 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4785 a given package, or -i or -a.
4786 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4787 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4788 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4789 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4790 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4791 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4792 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4793 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
4794 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
4796 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
4797 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
4798 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

4818 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low
4820 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
4821 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
4822 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
4823 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

4835 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
4836 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
4837 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
4838 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
4839 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

4847 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
4848 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
4849 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
4850 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

4867 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
4869 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4870 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4871 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4872 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4873 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4874 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4875 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4951 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.

5046 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5047 debian/README.debian.
5048 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5049 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5050 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5051 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5052 in a few situations.)

5083 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5085 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5086 is ready for general use.
5087 * Added man pages for all commands.
5088 * Multiple binary package support.
5089 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5090 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5091 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5093 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5094 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5095 auto-installed as parameters.
5096 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5098 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5101 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5102 the package build directory it is to act on.
5103 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5104 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5105 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
