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

1438 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1439 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1440 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1441 dh_install, which ...
1442 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1443 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1444 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1445 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1446 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1447 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1448 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1449 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1450 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1451 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1452 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1453 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1454 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1455 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1456 other minor changes.
1457 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1458 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1459 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1460 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1461 course there's -X ..)
1462 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1463 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1464 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1466 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1467 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1468 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1469 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1470 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1517 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1518 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1545 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1547 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1548 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1549 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1550 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1551 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1552 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1553 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1554 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1555 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1556 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1557 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1558 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1559 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1560 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1561 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1562 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1564 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1599 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1600 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1601 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1602 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1603 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1604 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1605 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1606 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

1791 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1792 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1793 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2043 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2044 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2045 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2046 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2048 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2049 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2050 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2051 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2052 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2053 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2054 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2055 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2056 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2058 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2059 variable names, pod man pages).
2060 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2061 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2062 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2063 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2064 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2065 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2066 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2139 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2231 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2232 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2233 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2234 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2235 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2237 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2238 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2239 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2241 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2243 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2244 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2245 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2246 should now be raised to severity important..

2482 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2483 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2484 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2485 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2486 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2487 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2488 notice until v2 is complete.
2489 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2490 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2491 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2492 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2493 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2494 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2496 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

2624 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2625 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2626 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2627 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
2628 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

2710 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2711 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2712 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2713 bits until all files have been registered.

2724 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2725 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

2851 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2852 I made some changes, though:
2853 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2854 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2855 that is a clear violation of policy.
2856 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2857 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2858 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2859 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2860 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2861 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2862 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2863 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2864 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2866 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3034 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3035 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3036 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3037 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3038 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3039 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3040 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3041 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3053 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3054 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3055 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3056 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3058 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3059 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

3114 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so

3379 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3380 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3994 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4062 * Debhelper now has a web page at http://kitenet.net/programs/debhelper/

4066 * dh_compress: since version 0.88 or so, dh_compress has bombed out if
4067 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
4068 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
4069 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected
4070 the program to not fail. (#26214)

4099 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4100 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4101 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4102 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4103 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4104 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4106 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4107 remove debian/files properly.
4108 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

4110 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

4127 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
4128 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

4159 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4160 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4174 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4175 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4176 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4177 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4178 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4179 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4193 large chunks in the process.

4362 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4363 past week. Thanks, guys!
4365 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4366 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4367 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4368 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4369 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4370 would do in the same situation.
4371 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4372 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4374 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4376 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4377 permissions changed.
4378 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4379 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4380 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4381 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4382 files are treated identically.
4383 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4396 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4397 use -X multiple times, too.

4704 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

4710 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4711 a given package, or -i or -a.
4712 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4713 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4714 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4715 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4716 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4717 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4718 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4719 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
4720 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a

4723 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

4747 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

4798 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4799 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
