3 * dh: Fix man page typos. Closes: #477933
4 * Add missing $! to error message when the log can't be opened.
5 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
6 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
7 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
8 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
9 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
10 logging by dh_listpackages.

514 * Non-maintainer upload.
515 * Update of dh_python
516 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
517 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
518 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
519 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
520 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
521 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
522 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
523 specific python version. Closes: #373853
524 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
525 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
527 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
528 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
529 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
530 the not too-distant future).
531 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
532 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
533 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
534 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
535 thus made the build fail.

2231 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2232 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2233 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2234 dh_install, which ...
2235 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2236 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2237 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2238 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2239 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2240 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2241 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2242 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2243 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2244 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2245 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2246 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2247 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2248 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2249 other minor changes.
2250 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2251 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2252 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2253 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2254 course there's -X ..)
2255 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2256 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2257 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2259 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2260 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2261 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2262 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2263 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2307 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2308 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2309 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2310 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2311 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2338 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2340 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2341 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2342 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2343 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2344 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2345 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2346 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2347 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2348 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2349 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2350 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2351 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2352 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2353 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2354 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2355 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2357 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2374 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2375 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2376 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2377 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2378 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2392 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2393 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2394 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2395 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2396 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2397 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2398 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2399 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2400 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2576 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2577 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2578 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2579 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2580 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2581 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2582 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2583 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2584 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2585 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2586 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2587 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2588 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2609 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2610 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2611 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2612 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2613 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2614 program those options go to. So, for example,
2615 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2616 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2758 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2759 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2760 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2761 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2762 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2763 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2820 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2821 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2822 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2823 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2824 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2825 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2826 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2827 but is mildly deprecated.
2828 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2829 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2830 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2831 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2832 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2833 switching to statoverrides..
2834 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2835 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2836 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2837 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2838 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2839 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2841 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2842 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2843 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2844 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2845 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2846 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2847 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2848 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2849 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2851 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2852 variable names, pod man pages).
2853 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2854 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2855 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2856 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2857 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2858 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2859 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3012 * Reverted the change to make debian/README be treated as README.Debian,
3013 after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
3014 itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
3015 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
3016 backwards-compatability.

3022 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3023 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3024 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3025 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3026 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3027 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3028 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3030 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3031 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3032 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3034 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3036 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3037 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3038 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3039 should now be raised to severity important..
3040 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3041 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3081 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3082 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3083 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3084 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3099 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3100 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

3275 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3276 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3277 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3278 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3279 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3280 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3281 notice until v2 is complete.
3282 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3283 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3284 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3285 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3286 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3287 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3289 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3290 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3291 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3503 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3504 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3505 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3506 bits until all files have been registered.

3526 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3527 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..
3528 * This changelog was automatically generated from CVS commit information.

3541 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
3542 act on files that don't exist.
3543 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
3544 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3545 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3547 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3548 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3549 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3550 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3556 * Actually, debhelper build-depends on perl-5.005.

3568 * Oh, the build dependancies include all of debhelper's regular
3569 dependancies as well, since it builds using itself.

3573 debhelper (2.0.70) unstable; urgency=low
3575 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
3576 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
3578 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
3579 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
3580 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

3584 debhelper (2.0.69) unstable; urgency=low
3586 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
3587 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
3588 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
3589 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
3590 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
3591 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
3592 does not compress. Closes: #41733
3593 * Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case
3595 * dh_movefiles: force owner and group of installed files to be root.
3597 * Closes: #42650, #47175 -- they've been fixed forever.

3641 * Fixed problem with dh_installemacsen options not working, patch from
3642 Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@icp.inpg.fr>, Closes: #47738
3643 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3644 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3645 I made some changes, though:
3646 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3647 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3648 that is a clear violation of policy.
3649 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3650 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3651 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3652 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3653 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3654 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3655 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3656 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3657 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3659 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3669 debhelper (2.0.60) unstable; urgency=low
3671 * dh_compress: After compressing an executable, changes the file mode to
3672 644. Executable .gz files are silly. Closes: #46383

3676 debhelper (2.0.59) unstable; urgency=low
3678 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
3679 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
3680 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

3698 debhelper (2.0.56) unstable; urgency=low
3700 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
3701 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3702 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3703 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3704 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3705 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3706 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
3707 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

3735 don't do anything, rather than crashing.

3820 debhelper (2.0.40) unstable; urgency=low
3822 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3823 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3824 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3825 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3826 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3827 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3828 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3829 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3830 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3831 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3832 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3833 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3834 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3840 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3841 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3842 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3844 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3845 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3846 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3847 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3848 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3849 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3851 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3852 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

3905 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
3906 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
3907 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so

4044 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
4045 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
4046 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

4060 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.

4062 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
4063 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

4076 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
4077 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
4078 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4079 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
4080 * debhelper.1: documented this.
4081 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
4082 current compatability level is equal to that number.

4110 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
4111 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
4112 more than 1 init script.

4155 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4156 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4157 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4171 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
4172 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4173 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4217 help from Julian Gilbey.

4219 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
4220 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
4221 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

4223 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

4327 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

4542 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4543 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
4544 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
4545 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.
4546 Since this no longer happens implicitly, I've changed to clearing the

4570 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4571 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4572 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4573 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
4574 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
4575 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
4576 suidregister actually supports it.
4577 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
4578 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

4591 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4592 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
4593 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
4594 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4595 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4596 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
4597 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
4598 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4766 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

4782 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4783 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4784 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4785 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4786 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4787 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4788 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4827 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4828 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all

5019 * TODO: list all current bugs, in order I plan to tackle them.
5020 * Added debhelper.1 man page, which groups all the debhelper options that
5021 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
5022 updating 27 man pages.
5023 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
5024 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
5025 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.
5026 * dh_*: -N option now excludes a package from the list of packages the
5027 programs act on. (#25247)

5035 * This relelase is not really intended for stable. I throw a copy into
5036 stable-updates because I want it to be available as an upgrade for
5037 people using debian 2.0 (the current version in debian 2.0 has no
5038 critical bugs, but this version is of course a lot nicer), and I plan
5039 to start work on a new branch of debhelper that will fix many wishlist
5040 bug reports, and of course introduce many new bugs, and which will go

5098 to fix bad uses of the find command, so it should now work on packages
5099 with files with spaces in them (#22005). It's also much cleaner. Thanks,

5151 debhelper (0.90) unstable; urgency=low
5153 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5154 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5155 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5156 past week. Thanks, guys!
5158 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5159 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5160 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5161 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5162 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5163 would do in the same situation.
5164 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5165 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5167 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5169 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5170 permissions changed.
5171 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5172 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5173 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5174 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5175 files are treated identically.
5176 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5177 * Minor man page fixes.
5178 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
5179 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
5180 --no-act is on. (#23054)

5186 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
5187 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
5188 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5189 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5190 use -X multiple times, too.
5191 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5192 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5213 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
5214 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
5215 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
5216 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
5217 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5218 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
5219 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
5220 shape if you're starting a new package.

5249 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
5250 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
5251 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
5252 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package

5501 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command

5503 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5504 a given package, or -i or -a.

5539 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
5540 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
5541 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

5588 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5589 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5590 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5591 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5592 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5593 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5594 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5672 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5673 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5762 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5763 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5764 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5765 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5766 debian/README.debian.
5767 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5768 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5769 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5770 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5771 in a few situations.)

5817 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5820 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5821 the package build directory it is to act on.
5822 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5823 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5824 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
