207 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
208 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
210 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
211 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
212 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614

229 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
230 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
231 script and then remove the python files.
232 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
233 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
234 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
235 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
236 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
237 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
238 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
239 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
240 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
241 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

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

365 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
366 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
367 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
368 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
369 specific python version. Closes: #373853
370 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
371 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
373 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
374 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
375 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
376 the not too-distant future).

755 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2077 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2078 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2079 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2080 dh_install, which ...
2081 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2082 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2083 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2084 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2085 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2086 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2087 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2088 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2089 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2090 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2091 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2092 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2093 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2094 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2095 other minor changes.
2096 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2097 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2098 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2099 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2100 course there's -X ..)
2101 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2102 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2103 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2105 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2106 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2107 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2108 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2109 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2153 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2154 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2155 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2156 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2157 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2184 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2186 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2187 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2188 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2189 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2190 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2191 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2192 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2193 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2194 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2195 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2196 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2197 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2198 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2199 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2200 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2201 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2203 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2220 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2221 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2222 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2223 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

2236 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2238 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2239 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2240 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2241 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2242 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2243 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2244 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2245 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2246 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2606 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2607 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2608 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2609 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2664 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2666 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2667 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2668 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2669 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2670 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2672 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2673 but is mildly deprecated.
2674 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2675 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2676 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2677 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2678 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2679 switching to statoverrides..
2680 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2681 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2682 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2683 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2684 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2685 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2687 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2688 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2689 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2690 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2691 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2692 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2693 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2694 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2695 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2697 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2698 variable names, pod man pages).
2699 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2700 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2701 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2702 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2703 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2704 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2705 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2871 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2877 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2878 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3121 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3122 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3123 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3124 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3125 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3126 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3127 notice until v2 is complete.
3128 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3129 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3130 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3131 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3132 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3133 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3135 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3136 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3137 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3138 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3262 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

3349 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3350 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3351 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

3491 I made some changes, though:
3492 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3493 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3494 that is a clear violation of policy.
3495 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3496 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3497 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3498 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3499 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3500 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3501 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3502 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3503 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3505 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3547 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make

3670 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3671 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3672 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3673 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3674 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3675 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3676 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3677 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3678 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3679 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3680 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4598 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
4599 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
4600 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
4601 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
4602 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.

4609 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
4610 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4611 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4612 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4613 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4626 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4627 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4628 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4629 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4630 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4631 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4632 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4633 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4634 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4647 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,

4670 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4671 sections of shared libraries.
4672 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4673 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4674 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4675 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4676 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4677 things you don't want them to.
4678 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4679 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4706 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
4707 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page

4738 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in

4740 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4741 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4742 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4743 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4745 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4746 remove debian/files properly.
4747 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

4749 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

4799 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4813 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4814 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4815 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4816 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4817 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4818 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4820 passed any switches.

4832 large chunks in the process.

5001 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5002 past week. Thanks, guys!
5004 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5005 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5006 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5007 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5008 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5009 would do in the same situation.
5010 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5011 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

5015 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5016 permissions changed.

5018 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5019 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5020 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5021 files are treated identically.

5033 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
5034 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5035 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5036 use -X multiple times, too.
5037 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5038 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5570 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
5571 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5572 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.

5578 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5580 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5581 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5582 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5583 multiple binary packages.
5584 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5585 should rebuild them with this version.
5586 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5604 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5606 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5607 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5608 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5609 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5610 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5611 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5612 debian/README.debian.
5613 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5614 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5615 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5616 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5617 in a few situations.)

5648 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5650 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5651 is ready for general use.
5652 * Added man pages for all commands.
5653 * Multiple binary package support.
5654 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5655 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5656 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5658 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5659 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5660 auto-installed as parameters.
5661 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5663 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5666 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5667 the package build directory it is to act on.
5668 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5669 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5670 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
