77 debhelper (7.3.0) experimental; urgency=low
79 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
80 contributed by Modestas Vainius
81 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
82 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
83 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
84 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
85 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
86 that support it. Closes: #480577
87 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
88 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
89 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
91 - Adds support for cmake.
92 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
93 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
95 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
97 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
98 that use them. The options are:
99 --sourcedir, --destdir
100 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
101 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
102 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
103 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
104 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

166 * Allow command-specific options to be passed to commands
167 via dh without causing other commands to emit a getopt
168 warning or deprecation message.
169 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
170 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
171 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
172 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
173 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
174 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
175 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

387 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
388 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
389 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
390 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown

1033 * Update french translation with recent change in dh_installmodules
1036 * ACK last three NMUs with thanks to Raphael Hertzog for making the best of
1037 a difficult situation.
1038 * Revert all dh_python changes. Closes: #381389, #378604
1039 * Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4.
1040 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
1041 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
1042 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.
1043 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
1044 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
1045 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
1046 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
1047 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

1055 - when buidling for a non-standard Python version, generate more
1056 reasonable Depends like "python (>= X.Y) | pythonX.Y"
1058 - fix handling of private extensions. Closes: #375948

1068 * Non-maintainer upload.
1069 * Update of dh_python
1070 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1071 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1072 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1073 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1074 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1075 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1076 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1077 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1078 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1079 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1081 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1082 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1083 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1084 the not too-distant future).
1085 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1086 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
1087 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
1088 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
1089 thus made the build fail.

2785 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2786 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2787 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2788 dh_install, which ...
2789 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2790 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2791 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2792 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2793 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2794 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2795 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2796 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2797 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2798 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2799 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2800 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2801 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2802 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2803 other minor changes.
2804 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2805 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2806 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2807 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2808 course there's -X ..)
2809 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2810 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2811 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2813 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2814 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2815 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2816 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2817 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2861 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2862 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2863 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2864 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2865 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2892 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2894 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2895 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2896 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2897 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2898 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2899 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2900 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2901 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2902 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2903 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2904 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2905 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2906 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2907 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2908 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2909 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2911 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2928 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2929 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2930 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2931 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2932 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2946 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2947 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2948 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2949 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2950 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2951 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2952 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2953 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2954 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3130 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

3132 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3133 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3134 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3135 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3136 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3137 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3138 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3139 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3140 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
3141 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
3142 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3163 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3164 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3165 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3166 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3167 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3168 program those options go to. So, for example,
3169 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3170 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3312 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3313 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3314 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3315 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3316 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3317 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3318 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3374 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3375 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3376 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3377 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3378 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

3380 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3381 but is mildly deprecated.
3382 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3383 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3384 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3385 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3386 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3387 switching to statoverrides..
3388 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3389 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3390 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3391 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3392 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3393 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3395 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3396 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3397 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3398 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3399 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3400 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3401 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3402 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3403 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3405 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3406 variable names, pod man pages).
3407 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3408 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3409 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3410 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3411 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3412 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3413 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3576 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3577 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3578 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3579 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3580 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3581 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3582 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3584 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3585 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3586 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3588 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3590 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3591 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3592 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3593 should now be raised to severity important..
3594 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3595 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3635 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3636 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3637 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3653 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3654 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3655 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3829 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3830 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3831 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3832 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3833 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3834 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3835 notice until v2 is complete.
3836 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3837 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3838 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3839 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3840 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3841 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3843 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3844 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

4054 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
4055 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4056 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4057 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4058 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4059 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4060 bits until all files have been registered.

4069 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4070 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4071 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4072 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4073 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4074 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4075 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4076 otherwise change the result at all.
4078 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4079 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4098 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4099 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4101 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4102 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4103 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4104 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4198 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4199 I made some changes, though:
4200 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4201 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4202 that is a clear violation of policy.
4203 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4204 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4205 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4206 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4207 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4208 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4209 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4210 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4211 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4213 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4255 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4256 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4257 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4258 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4259 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
4260 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

4377 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4378 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4379 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4380 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4381 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4382 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4383 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4384 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4385 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4386 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4387 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4388 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4395 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4396 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4398 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4399 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4400 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4401 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4402 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4403 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5339 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5340 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5341 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5517 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
5518 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5519 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5520 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5521 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5522 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5523 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5524 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5525 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5526 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5527 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5528 passed any switches.
5529 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

5540 large chunks in the process.

5542 install many oddly named files it died on before.

5709 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5710 past week. Thanks, guys!
5712 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5713 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5714 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5715 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5716 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5717 would do in the same situation.
5718 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5719 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5721 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5723 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5724 permissions changed.
5725 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5726 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5727 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5728 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5729 files are treated identically.
5730 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5743 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5744 use -X multiple times, too.

6019 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6021 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6022 are supported. (#16935)

6057 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6058 a given package, or -i or -a.
6059 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6060 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

6062 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

6064 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6145 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
