962 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
963 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
964 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
965 dh_install, which ...
966 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
967 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
968 mess, as it uses debian/install.
969 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
970 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
971 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
972 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
973 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
974 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
975 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
976 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
977 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
978 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
979 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
981 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
982 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
983 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
984 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
985 course there's -X ..)
986 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
987 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
988 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
990 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
991 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
992 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
993 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

1069 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1071 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1072 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1073 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1074 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1075 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1076 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1077 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1078 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1079 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1080 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1081 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1082 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1083 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1084 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1085 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1086 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1088 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1121 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1123 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1124 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1125 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1126 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1127 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1128 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1129 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1130 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1131 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1549 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1551 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1552 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1553 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1554 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1555 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1556 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1557 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1558 but is mildly deprecated.
1559 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1560 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1561 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1562 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1563 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1564 switching to statoverrides..
1565 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1566 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1567 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1568 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1569 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1570 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1572 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1573 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1574 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1575 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1576 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1577 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1578 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1579 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1580 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1582 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1583 variable names, pod man pages).
1584 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1585 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1586 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1587 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1588 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1589 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1590 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1663 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1758 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1759 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1761 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1762 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1763 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

1768 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1769 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2006 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2007 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2008 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2009 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2010 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2011 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2012 notice until v2 is complete.
2013 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2014 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2015 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2016 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2017 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2018 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

2149 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2150 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2151 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

2233 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2234 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2235 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2236 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2237 bits until all files have been registered.

2247 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2248 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2249 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2250 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2251 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2252 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2253 otherwise change the result at all.
2255 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2256 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2376 I made some changes, though:
2377 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2378 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2379 that is a clear violation of policy.
2380 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2381 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2382 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2383 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2384 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2385 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2386 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2387 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2388 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2390 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2556 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2557 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2558 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2559 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2560 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2561 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2562 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2563 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2564 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2565 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2571 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2572 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2573 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2575 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2576 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2577 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2578 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2579 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2580 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
2582 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
2583 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

3516 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3517 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3518 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3519 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3560 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3561 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3562 things you don't want them to.
3563 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
3564 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

3625 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3626 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3627 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

3886 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3887 past week. Thanks, guys!
3889 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3890 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3891 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3892 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3893 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3894 would do in the same situation.
3895 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3896 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

3900 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3901 permissions changed.

3903 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3904 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3905 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3906 files are treated identically.

4233 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4234 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4235 a given package, or -i or -a.
4236 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4237 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4238 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4239 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

4241 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4243 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4548 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4551 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4552 the package build directory it is to act on.
4553 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4554 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4555 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
