683 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
684 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
685 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
686 dh_install, which ...
687 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
688 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
689 mess, as it uses debian/install.
690 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
691 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
692 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
693 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
694 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
695 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
696 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
697 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
698 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
699 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
700 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
702 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
703 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
704 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
705 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
706 course there's -X ..)
707 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
708 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
709 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
711 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
712 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
713 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
714 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
715 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

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

790 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
792 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
793 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
794 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
795 line, as well as in debian/rules.
796 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
797 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
798 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
799 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
800 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
801 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
802 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
803 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
804 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
805 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
806 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
807 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
809 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

826 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
827 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053

830 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

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

1060 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1061 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1062 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1063 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1064 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1065 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1066 program those options go to. So, for example,
1067 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1068 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
1069 something complex. Closes: #89311

1210 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1211 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1212 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1213 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1214 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1215 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1270 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1272 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1273 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1274 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1275 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1276 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1277 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1278 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1279 but is mildly deprecated.
1280 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1281 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1282 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1283 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1284 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1285 switching to statoverrides..
1286 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1287 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1288 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1289 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1290 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1291 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1293 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1294 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1295 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1296 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1297 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1298 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1299 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1300 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1301 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1303 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1304 variable names, pod man pages).
1305 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1306 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1307 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1308 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1309 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1310 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1311 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1477 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1480 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1482 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1483 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1484 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

1548 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as

1552 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

1727 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1728 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1729 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1730 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1731 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1732 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1733 notice until v2 is complete.
1734 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1735 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1736 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1737 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1738 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1739 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1741 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
1742 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
1743 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2097 I made some changes, though:
2098 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2099 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2100 that is a clear violation of policy.
2101 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2102 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2103 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2104 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2105 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2106 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2107 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2108 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2109 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2111 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2276 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2277 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2278 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2279 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2280 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2281 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2282 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2283 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2284 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2285 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2286 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3078 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
3079 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
3080 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
3081 effect, either. (#30118)

3235 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3236 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3237 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3238 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3239 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3240 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3279 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3280 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all

3282 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do

3606 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
3607 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3608 past week. Thanks, guys!
3610 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3611 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3612 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3613 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3614 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3615 would do in the same situation.
3616 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3617 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3619 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3621 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3622 permissions changed.
3623 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3624 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3625 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3626 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3627 files are treated identically.
3628 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

3641 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3642 use -X multiple times, too.

4042 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4043 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4044 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4045 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4046 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4122 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4123 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4124 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4125 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4187 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.

4189 multiple binary packages.
4190 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4191 should rebuild them with this version.

4212 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4213 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4214 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4215 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4216 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4217 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4218 debian/README.debian.
4219 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4220 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4221 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4222 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4223 in a few situations.)

4259 * Multiple binary package support.

4262 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4264 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4265 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4266 auto-installed as parameters.
4267 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4269 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4272 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4273 the package build directory it is to act on.
4274 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4275 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4276 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
