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

47 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
48 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
49 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
50 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
51 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
52 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
53 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
54 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
55 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
56 otherwise change the result at all.
58 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
59 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
60 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
61 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

76 act on files that don't exist.
77 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
78 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
79 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
81 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
82 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
83 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
84 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

110 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
112 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
113 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,

120 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
121 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
122 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
123 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

177 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
178 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
179 I made some changes, though:
180 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
181 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
182 that is a clear violation of policy.
183 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
184 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
185 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
186 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
187 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
188 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
189 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
190 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
191 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
193 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

235 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
236 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
237 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
238 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
239 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
240 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
241 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

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

378 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
379 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
380 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
381 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
382 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
383 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

1104 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
1105 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
1106 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
1107 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

1110 suidregister actually supports it.

1319 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
1320 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
1321 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

1540 * dh_movefiles: try to move all files specified, and only then bomb out if
1541 some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages

1556 updating 27 man pages.
1557 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
1558 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

1687 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
1688 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
1689 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
1690 past week. Thanks, guys!
1692 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
1693 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
1694 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
1695 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
1696 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
1697 would do in the same situation.
1698 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
1699 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
1701 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
1703 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
1704 permissions changed.
1705 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
1706 some people enjoy changing root's name.
1707 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
1708 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
1709 files are treated identically.
1710 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
1711 * Minor man page fixes.
1712 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
1713 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if

1721 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
1722 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
1723 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
1724 use -X multiple times, too.
1725 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
1726 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

2036 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
2037 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
2038 a given package, or -i or -a.
2039 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
2040 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
2041 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
2042 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
2043 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
2044 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
2045 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
2046 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
2047 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
2049 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
2050 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
2051 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

2073 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
2074 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
2075 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

2122 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
2123 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
2124 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
2125 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
2126 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
2127 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
2128 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

2204 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
2205 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
2206 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
2207 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

2271 multiple binary packages.

2296 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
2297 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
2298 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
2299 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
2300 debian/README.debian.
2301 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
2302 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
2303 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
2304 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
2305 in a few situations.)

2348 auto-installed as parameters.
2349 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
2351 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
2354 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
2355 the package build directory it is to act on.
2356 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
2357 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
2358 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
