147 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
148 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
149 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
150 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
151 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1326 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new

1473 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1474 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1475 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1476 dh_install, which ...
1477 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1478 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1479 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1480 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1481 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1482 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1483 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1484 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1485 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1486 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1487 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1488 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1489 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1490 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1491 other minor changes.
1492 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1493 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1494 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1495 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1496 course there's -X ..)
1497 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1498 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1499 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1501 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1502 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1503 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1504 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1505 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1549 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1550 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1551 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1552 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

1580 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1582 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1583 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1584 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1585 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1586 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1587 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1588 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1589 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1590 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1591 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1592 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1593 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1594 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1595 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1596 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1597 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1599 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1634 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1635 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1636 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1637 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1638 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1639 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1640 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1641 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1642 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1826 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't

1854 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1855 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1856 program those options go to. So, for example,
1857 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

2045 don't make packlist files.
2046 * Fixed some bugs in the new dh_perl and updated it to my current
2047 debhelper coding standards.
2048 * Use dh_perl to generate debhelper's own deps.
2049 * Version number increase to meet perl policy.

2060 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2062 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2063 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2064 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2065 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2066 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2067 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2068 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2069 but is mildly deprecated.
2070 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2071 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2072 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2073 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2074 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2075 switching to statoverrides..
2076 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2077 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2078 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2079 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2080 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2081 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2083 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2084 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2085 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2086 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2087 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2088 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2089 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2090 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2091 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2093 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2094 variable names, pod man pages).
2095 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2096 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2097 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2098 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2099 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2100 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2101 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2173 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2174 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2176 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2267 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2269 old rules files have the ordering backwards.

2272 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2273 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2274 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2276 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

2279 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2280 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2517 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2518 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2519 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2520 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2521 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2522 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2523 notice until v2 is complete.
2524 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2525 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2526 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2527 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2528 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2529 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2531 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

2745 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2746 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2747 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2748 bits until all files have been registered.

2758 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2759 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2760 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2761 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2762 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2763 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2764 otherwise change the result at all.
2766 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2767 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2887 I made some changes, though:
2888 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2889 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2890 that is a clear violation of policy.
2891 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2892 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2893 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2894 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2895 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2896 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2897 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2898 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2899 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2901 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3064 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3065 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3066 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3067 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3068 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3069 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3070 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3071 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3072 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3073 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3074 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3075 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3076 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3082 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3083 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3084 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3086 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3087 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3088 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3089 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3090 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3091 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3093 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3094 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4027 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new

4029 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4066 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4067 sections of shared libraries.
4068 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4069 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4070 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4071 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4072 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4073 things you don't want them to.
4074 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4075 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4088 * dh_installmanpages: the new perl version had a nasty habit of
4089 installing .so.x library files as man pages. Fixed.

4091 debian/tmp directories was broken. Fixed.

4101 * dh_compress: since version 0.88 or so, dh_compress has bombed out if
4102 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
4103 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
4104 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected
4105 the program to not fail. (#26214)

4134 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4135 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4136 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4137 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4138 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4139 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4141 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4142 remove debian/files properly.
4143 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4144 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4145 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
4146 * Removed bogus menu file.

4161 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
4162 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
4163 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
4164 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
4165 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

4193 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
4194 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4195 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
4196 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
4197 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

4206 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4207 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4208 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4209 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4210 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4211 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4212 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4213 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4214 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4215 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4216 passed any switches.

4228 large chunks in the process.

4397 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4398 past week. Thanks, guys!
4400 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4401 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4402 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4403 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4404 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4405 would do in the same situation.
4406 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4407 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4409 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4411 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4412 permissions changed.
4413 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4414 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4415 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4416 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4417 files are treated identically.
4418 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4431 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4432 use -X multiple times, too.

4560 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
4561 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
4562 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
4563 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
4564 no packages use the old behavior.

4570 * dh_lib: autoscript(): no longer add the modification date to the
4571 comments aurrounding debhelper-added code. I don't think this date was
4572 gaining us anything, so let's remove it and save some disk space.

4622 debian-policy that du control files are bad.
4623 * examples/*: removed dh_du calls.
4624 * debian/rules: removed dh_du call.

4636 inspired to implement some of it.

4694 argument processor in perl.
4695 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
4696 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,

4705 type directories. (#16933)
4706 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
4707 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
4708 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
4709 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4710 are supported. (#16935)
4711 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

4725 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
4727 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
4728 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4729 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
4730 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
4731 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
4732 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

4736 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
4738 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4739 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
4740 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
4742 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
4743 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4744 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4745 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4746 a given package, or -i or -a.
4747 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4748 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4749 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4750 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4751 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4752 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4753 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4754 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
4755 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
4757 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
4758 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
4759 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

4779 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low
4781 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
4782 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
4783 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
4784 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

4796 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
4797 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
4798 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
4799 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863

4808 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
4809 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
4810 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
4811 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

4828 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
4830 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4831 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4832 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4833 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4834 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4835 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4836 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4911 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
4912 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4913 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4914 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4915 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5006 it is installed as TODO.Debian.

5011 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5012 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable

5048 * Added man pages for all commands.
5049 * Multiple binary package support.
5050 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5051 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5052 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5054 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5055 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5056 auto-installed as parameters.
5057 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5059 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5062 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5063 the package build directory it is to act on.
5064 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5065 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5066 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
