1032 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1033 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1034 dh_install, which ...
1035 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1036 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1037 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1038 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1039 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1040 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1041 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1042 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1043 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1044 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1045 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1046 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1047 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1048 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1049 other minor changes.

1051 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1052 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1053 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1054 course there's -X ..)
1055 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1056 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1057 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1059 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1060 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1061 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1062 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1063 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1105 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
1107 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1108 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1109 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1110 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1111 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
1113 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.

1138 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1140 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1141 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1142 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1143 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1144 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1145 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1146 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1147 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1148 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1149 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1150 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1151 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1152 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1153 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1154 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1155 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1157 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1171 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
1173 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
1174 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
1175 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1176 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1177 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
1178 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
1179 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

1190 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1192 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1193 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1194 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1195 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1196 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1197 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1198 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1199 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1200 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
1201 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message
1202 is now output when it runs. Currently used by: 381 packages.
1203 * dh_installxaw is deprecated -- xaw-wrappers in no longer in the
1204 distribution. A warning message is now output when it runs. Currently used

1374 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
1376 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1377 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1378 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1379 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1380 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1381 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1382 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1383 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1384 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1385 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1386 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1408 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1409 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1410 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1411 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1412 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1413 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1414 program those options go to. So, for example,
1415 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1416 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1557 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1558 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1559 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1560 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1561 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1562 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1563 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1564 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

1620 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1621 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1622 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1623 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1624 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1626 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1627 but is mildly deprecated.
1628 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1629 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1630 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1631 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1632 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1633 switching to statoverrides..
1634 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1635 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1636 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1637 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1638 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1639 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1641 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1642 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1643 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1644 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1645 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1646 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1647 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1648 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1649 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1651 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1652 variable names, pod man pages).
1653 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1654 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1655 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1656 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1657 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1658 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1659 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1825 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1830 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1831 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1832 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2073 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2075 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2076 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2077 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2078 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2079 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2080 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2081 notice until v2 is complete.
2082 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2083 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2084 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2085 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2086 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2087 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2089 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2090 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2091 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2092 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2213 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2214 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2216 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2217 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2218 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2219 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2220 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

2302 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2303 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2304 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2305 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2306 bits until all files have been registered.

2316 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2317 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2318 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2319 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2320 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2321 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2322 otherwise change the result at all.
2324 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2325 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2326 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

2445 I made some changes, though:
2446 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2447 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2448 that is a clear violation of policy.
2449 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2450 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2451 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2452 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2453 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2454 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2455 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2456 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2457 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2459 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2625 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.

2627 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2628 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2629 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2630 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2631 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2632 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2633 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2634 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3342 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
3343 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

3372 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
3373 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

3376 suidregister actually supports it.

3392 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a

3394 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

3554 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
3555 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
3556 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
3557 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

3563 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
3564 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3565 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3566 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3567 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3580 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
3581 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3582 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3583 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3584 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3585 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3586 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3587 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3588 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3624 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3625 sections of shared libraries.
3626 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3627 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3628 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3629 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3630 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3631 things you don't want them to.

3633 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

3692 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3693 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3694 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3695 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3696 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3697 I apologize for the inconvenience.
3699 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
3700 remove debian/files properly.
3701 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

3770 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3771 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3772 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

3958 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3959 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3960 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3961 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3962 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3963 would do in the same situation.
3964 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3965 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3967 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3969 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their

3972 some people enjoy changing root's name.

3974 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3975 files are treated identically.

4287 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

4301 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4302 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4303 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4304 a given package, or -i or -a.
4305 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4306 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4307 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4308 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4309 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4310 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4312 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4391 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',

4534 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4535 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4536 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4537 multiple binary packages.
4538 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4539 should rebuild them with this version.
4540 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4544 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
4546 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
4547 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

4551 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low

4558 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4560 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4561 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4562 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4563 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4564 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4565 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4566 debian/README.debian.
4567 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4568 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4569 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4570 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4571 in a few situations.)

4575 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low

4581 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

4594 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low

4600 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400
4602 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4604 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4605 is ready for general use.
4606 * Added man pages for all commands.
4607 * Multiple binary package support.
4608 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4609 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4610 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4612 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4613 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4614 auto-installed as parameters.
4615 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4617 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4620 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4621 the package build directory it is to act on.
4622 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4623 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4624 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.

4631 ready to replace debstd.
