14 warning or deprecation message.
15 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
16 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
17 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
18 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
19 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
20 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
21 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

234 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
235 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
236 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
237 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

765 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version

787 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
788 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
789 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
790 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
791 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
792 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
793 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
794 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
795 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

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

920 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.

922 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
923 specific python version. Closes: #373853
924 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
925 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
927 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
928 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
929 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2631 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2632 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2633 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2634 dh_install, which ...
2635 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2636 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2637 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2638 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2639 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2640 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2641 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2642 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2643 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2644 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2645 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2646 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2647 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2648 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2649 other minor changes.
2650 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2651 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2652 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2653 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2654 course there's -X ..)
2655 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2656 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2657 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2659 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2660 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2661 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2662 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2663 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2710 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2711 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2738 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2740 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2741 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2742 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2743 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2744 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2745 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2746 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2747 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2748 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2749 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2750 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2751 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2752 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2753 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2754 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2755 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2757 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2792 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2793 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2794 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2795 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2796 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2797 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2798 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2799 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2800 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3010 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3011 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3012 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3013 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3014 program those options go to. So, for example,
3015 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3016 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3017 something complex. Closes: #89311
3018 * Made escape_shell output a lot better.

3160 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3161 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3162 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3163 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3220 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3221 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3222 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3223 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3224 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

3226 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3227 but is mildly deprecated.
3228 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3229 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3230 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3231 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3232 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3233 switching to statoverrides..
3234 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3235 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3236 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3237 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3238 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3239 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3241 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3242 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3243 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3244 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3245 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3246 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3247 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3248 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3249 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3251 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3252 variable names, pod man pages).
3253 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3254 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3255 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3256 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3257 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3258 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3259 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3425 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3427 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3428 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3430 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3431 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3432 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3436 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3437 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3438 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3497 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3498 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.

3500 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3501 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3673 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
3675 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3676 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3677 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3678 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3679 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3680 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3681 notice until v2 is complete.
3682 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3683 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3684 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3685 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3686 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3687 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3689 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3690 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3691 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3692 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3904 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

4043 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
4044 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4045 I made some changes, though:
4046 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4047 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4048 that is a clear violation of policy.
4049 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4050 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4051 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4052 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4053 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4054 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4055 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4056 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4057 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4059 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4224 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4225 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4226 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4227 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4228 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4229 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4230 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4231 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4232 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4233 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4234 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4244 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4245 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4246 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4247 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4248 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4249 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4509 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
4510 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.

4512 more than 1 init script.

5026 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
5027 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
5028 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
5029 effect, either. (#30118)

5182 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5183 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5184 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5185 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5186 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5187 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5188 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5227 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5228 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5229 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5230 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5231 things you don't want them to.

5553 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5554 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5555 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5556 past week. Thanks, guys!
5558 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5559 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5560 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5561 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5562 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5563 would do in the same situation.
5564 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5565 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5567 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5569 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5570 permissions changed.
5571 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5572 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5573 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5574 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5575 files are treated identically.
5576 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5589 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5590 use -X multiple times, too.

6070 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6071 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running

6073 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6134 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6135 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6136 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6137 multiple binary packages.
6138 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6139 should rebuild them with this version.
6140 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6160 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6161 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6162 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6163 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6164 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6165 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6166 debian/README.debian.
6167 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6168 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6169 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6170 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6171 in a few situations.)

6207 * Multiple binary package support.
6208 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6209 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6210 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6212 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6213 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6214 auto-installed as parameters.
6215 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6217 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6220 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6221 the package build directory it is to act on.
6222 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6223 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6224 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
