134 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are

290 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1577 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
1578 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
1579 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
1580 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
1581 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847

1612 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1613 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1614 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1615 dh_install, which ...
1616 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1617 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1618 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1619 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1620 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1621 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1622 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1623 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1624 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1625 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1626 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1627 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1628 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1629 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1630 other minor changes.
1631 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1632 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1633 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1634 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1635 course there's -X ..)
1636 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1637 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1638 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1640 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1641 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1642 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1643 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1644 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1688 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1689 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1690 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1691 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1692 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1719 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1721 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1722 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1723 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1724 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1725 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1726 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1727 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1728 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1729 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1730 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1731 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1732 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1733 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1734 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1735 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1736 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1738 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1771 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1773 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1774 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1775 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1776 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1777 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1778 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1779 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1780 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1781 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2141 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2142 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies

2201 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2202 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2203 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2204 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2205 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2206 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2207 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2208 but is mildly deprecated.
2209 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2210 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2211 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2212 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2213 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2214 switching to statoverrides..
2215 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2216 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2217 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2218 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2219 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2220 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2222 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2223 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2224 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2225 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2226 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2227 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2228 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2229 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2230 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2232 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2233 variable names, pod man pages).
2234 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2235 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2236 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2237 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2238 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2239 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2240 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2406 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2412 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2413 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2654 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2656 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2657 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2658 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2659 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2660 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2661 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2662 notice until v2 is complete.
2663 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2664 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2665 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2666 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2667 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2668 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2670 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2671 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2672 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2673 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2794 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2795 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2797 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2798 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2799 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2800 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2883 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2884 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2885 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2886 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2887 bits until all files have been registered.

2897 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2898 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2899 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2900 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2901 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2902 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2903 otherwise change the result at all.
2905 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2906 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3026 I made some changes, though:
3027 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3028 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3029 that is a clear violation of policy.
3030 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3031 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3032 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3033 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3034 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3035 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3036 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3037 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3038 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3040 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3059 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
3060 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing

3081 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
3082 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3083 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3084 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3085 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3086 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3204 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3205 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3206 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3207 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3208 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3209 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3210 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3211 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3212 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3213 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3214 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3215 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3222 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3223 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3225 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3226 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3227 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3228 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3229 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3230 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4083 debhelper (1.2.5) unstable; urgency=low
4085 * The perl conversion is complete.
4087 * dh_compress: perlized (yay, perl has readlink, no more ls -l | awk
4089 * dh_lib, dh_getopt.pl: deleted, nothing uses them anymore.
4090 * debian/rules: don't install above 2 files.
4091 * doc/PROGRAMMING: removed all documentation of the old shell library

4096 debhelper (1.2.4) unstable; urgency=low
4098 * dh_debstd, dh_movefiles: perlized.
4099 * dh_debstd: fixed -c option.
4100 * dh_installinit: fixed minor perl -w warning.
4101 * Only 1 shell script remains! (But it's a doozy..)

4105 debhelper (1.2.3) unstable; urgency=low
4107 * dh_fixperms, dh_installdebfiles, dh_installdeb: perlized
4108 * dh_suidregister: perlized, with help from Che_Fox (and Tom Christianson,
4110 * dh_suidregister: include leading 0 (or 1 for sticky, etc) in file
4112 * Only 3 more to go and it'll be 100% perl.
4113 * Made $dh{EXCLUDE_FIND} available to perl scripts.

4117 debhelper (1.2.2) unstable; urgency=low
4119 * dh_du, dh_shlibdeps, dh_undocumented: rewrite in perl.
4120 * dh_undocumented: shortened the symlink used for section 7 undocumented
4121 man pages, since it can link to undocuemented.7.gz in the same directory.

4125 debhelper (1.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
4127 * dh_strip, dh_installinit: rewrite in perl.

4131 debhelper (1.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
4133 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
4134 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
4135 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
4136 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
4137 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
4138 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

4142 debhelper (1.1.24) unstable; urgency=low
4144 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
4145 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4146 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4147 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4148 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4152 debhelper (1.1.23) unstable; urgency=low
4154 * dh_clean: At the suggestion of James Troup <james@nocrew.org> now deletes
4155 files named *.P in .deps/ subdirectories. They are generated by automake.

4159 debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
4161 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4162 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4163 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4164 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4165 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4166 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4167 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4168 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4169 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4179 debhelper (1.1.20) unstable; urgency=low
4181 * Added a --same-arch flag, that is useful in the rare case when you have
4182 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,
4183 multi-architecture source package. (Ie, netscape-dmotif).
4184 * Modified dh_installinit -r so it does start the daemon on the initial

4189 debhelper (1.1.19) unstable; urgency=low
4191 * dh_installmanpages: look at basename of man pacges specified on command
4192 line to skip, for backwards compatability.

4196 debhelper (1.1.18) unstable; urgency=low
4198 * dh_installemacsen: substitute package name for #PACKAGE# when setting
4199 up postinst and prerm (#26560).
4201 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 8 Sep 1998 14:24:30 -0700
4203 debhelper (1.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
4205 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4206 sections of shared libraries.
4207 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4208 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4209 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4210 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4211 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4212 things you don't want them to.
4213 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4214 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4221 shared libraries. (#26414)

4225 debhelper (1.1.15) unstable; urgency=medium
4227 * dh_installmanpages: the new perl version had a nasty habit of
4228 installing .so.x library files as man pages. Fixed.
4229 * dh_installmanpages: the code to exclude searching for man pages in
4230 debian/tmp directories was broken. Fixed.

4234 debhelper (1.1.14) unstable; urgency=low
4236 * Debhelper now has a web page at http://kitenet.net/programs/debhelper/
4238 * Added code to debian/rules to update the web page when I release new
4240 * dh_compress: since version 0.88 or so, dh_compress has bombed out if
4241 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
4242 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
4243 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected
4244 the program to not fail. (#26214)

4251 symlink problem after .so conversion), and is about twice as fast.

4257 * dh_installdocs: forgot to pass package name to isnative(). Any native
4258 debian package that had a debian/TODO would have it installed with the
4259 wrong name, and debhelper would warn of undefined values for some

4264 debhelper (1.1.11) unstable; urgency=low
4266 * dh_installchangelogs: added -k flag, that will make it install a symlink
4267 to the original name of the upstream changelog.

4271 debhelper (1.1.10) unstable; urgency=low
4273 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4274 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4275 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4276 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4277 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4278 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4280 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4281 remove debian/files properly.
4282 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4283 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4284 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
4285 * Removed bogus menu file.

4289 debhelper (1.1.9) unstable; urgency=low
4291 * dh_fixperms: has been removing the +x bits of all doc/*/examples/* files
4292 since version 0.97 or so. Fixed.
4294 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 16 Aug 1998 17:11:48 -0700
4296 debhelper (1.1.8) unstable; urgency=low
4298 * Dh_Lib.pm: made U_PARAMS an array of parameters.
4299 * Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in the escaping code, numbers don't need to be
4300 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
4301 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
4302 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
4303 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
4304 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

4308 debhelper (1.1.7) unstable; urgency=low
4310 * examples/rules.multi: moved dh_movefiles into the install section.
4311 * doc/README: Added a note explaining why above change was necessary.
4312 * Dh_Lib.pm: escape_shell(): now escapes the full range of special
4313 characters recognized by bash (and ksh). Thanks to Branden Robinson
4314 <branden@purdue.edu> for looking that up.

4325 debhelper (1.1.5) unstable; urgency=low
4327 * dh_builddeb, dh_installchangelogs: converted to perl.
4328 * dh_installdirs: converted to perl, getting rid of nasty chdir en-route.
4329 * dh_installdirs: now you can use absolute directory names too if you
4331 * doc/PROGRAMMING: updated to cover new perl modules.
4332 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
4333 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4334 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
4335 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
4336 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)
4338 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 11 Aug 1998 15:23:34 -0700
4340 debhelper (1.1.4) unstable; urgency=low
4342 * dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
4343 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
4344 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
4345 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4346 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4347 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4348 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4349 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4350 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4351 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4352 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4353 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4354 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4355 passed any switches.
4356 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

4360 debhelper (1.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
4362 * dh_md5sums: -x was broken since version 1.1.1 - fixed.
4363 * dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used
4364 at all for a long while.
4365 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
4366 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
4367 large chunks in the process.
4368 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4369 install many oddly named files it died on before.
4370 * dh_installdocs: fixed a bug that installed TODO files mode 655 in native

4375 debhelper (1.1.2) unstable; urgency=low
4377 * dh_strip: added -X to specify files to not strip (#25590).
4378 * Added dh_installemacsen, for automatic registration with emacsen-common
4380 * Preliminary thoughts in TODO about converting entire debhelper programs

4385 debhelper (1.1.1) unstable; urgency=low
4387 * dh_movefiles: try to move all files specified, and only then bomb out if
4388 some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages
4389 that don't always have the same files in them.
4390 * dh_compress: any parameters passed to it on the command line specify
4391 additional files to be compressed in the first package acted on.
4392 * dh_compress: recognize standard -A parameter.

4398 * New unstable branch of debhelper.
4400 * TODO: list all current bugs, in order I plan to tackle them.
4401 * Added debhelper.1 man page, which groups all the debhelper options that
4402 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
4403 updating 27 man pages.
4404 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
4405 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
4406 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.
4407 * dh_*: -N option now excludes a package from the list of packages the
4408 programs act on. (#25247)

4416 * This relelase is not really intended for stable. I throw a copy into
4417 stable-updates because I want it to be available as an upgrade for
4418 people using debian 2.0 (the current version in debian 2.0 has no
4419 critical bugs, but this version is of course a lot nicer), and I plan
4420 to start work on a new branch of debhelper that will fix many wishlist
4421 bug reports, and of course introduce many new bugs, and which will go

4479 to fix bad uses of the find command, so it should now work on packages
4480 with files with spaces in them (#22005). It's also much cleaner. Thanks,

4534 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4535 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4536 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4537 past week. Thanks, guys!
4539 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4540 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4541 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4542 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4543 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4544 would do in the same situation.
4545 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4546 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4548 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4550 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4551 permissions changed.

4553 some people enjoy changing root's name.

4555 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4556 files are treated identically.

4570 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4571 use -X multiple times, too.
4572 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4573 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5049 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
5050 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5051 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5052 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5053 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5054 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5105 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
5106 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5107 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5108 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5109 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5113 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5115 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5116 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5117 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5118 multiple binary packages.
5119 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5120 should rebuild them with this version.
5121 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5139 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5141 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5142 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5143 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5144 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5145 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5146 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5147 debian/README.debian.
5148 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5149 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5150 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5151 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5152 in a few situations.)

5183 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5185 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5186 is ready for general use.
5187 * Added man pages for all commands.
5188 * Multiple binary package support.
5189 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5190 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5191 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5193 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5194 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5195 auto-installed as parameters.
5196 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5198 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5201 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5202 the package build directory it is to act on.
5203 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5204 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5205 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
