3 * dh_icons: New program to update Freedesktop icon caches. Thanks
4 to Josselin Mouette, Ross Burton, Jordi Mallach, and Loïc Minier.
6 * Note that as a transitional measure, dh_icons will currently only update
7 existing caches, and not create and new caches. Once everything is
8 updating the icon caches, this will be changed. See #329460 for the full
10 * Remove possibly confusing (though strictly accurate) sentence from
11 dh_installdirs.1. Closes: #429318
12 * dh_gencontrol: Fix man page typo. Closes: #431232

20 * Update urls to web page.
21 * Add some checks for attempts to act on packages not defined in the control
23 * Use dpkg-query to retrieve conffile info in udev rules upgrade code

30 * dh_installwm: Fix several stupid bugs, including:
31 - man page handling was supposed to be v6 only and was not
32 - typo in alternatives call
33 - use the basename of the wm to get the man page name
35 * dh_installwm: Also make the code to find the man page more robust and
36 fall back to not registering a man page if it is not found.

62 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
63 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
65 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
66 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
67 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
68 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
69 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
70 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
71 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
72 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
73 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
74 * Do script fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian
75 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

81 * dh_installudev: Don't fail if the link already somehow exists on initial
82 package install. Closes: #415717
83 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
84 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
85 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
86 script and then remove the python files.
87 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
88 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
89 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
90 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
91 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
92 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
93 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
94 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
95 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
96 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
97 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
98 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have
99 /etc/network/if-up.d, etc files. Closes: #217552

122 * dh_installudev: Treat --priority value as a string so that leading zeros
123 can be used (also so that a leading "z" that is not "z60" can be

190 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
191 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
192 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
193 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.

215 * Non-maintainer upload.
216 * Update of dh_python
217 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
218 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
219 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
220 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
221 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
222 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
223 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
224 specific python version. Closes: #373853
225 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
226 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
228 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
229 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
230 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
231 the not too-distant future).
232 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
233 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
234 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
235 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
236 thus made the build fail.

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

1932 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1933 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1934 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1935 dh_install, which ...
1936 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1937 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1938 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1939 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1940 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1941 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1942 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1943 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1944 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1945 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1946 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1947 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1948 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1949 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1950 other minor changes.
1951 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1952 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1953 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1954 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1955 course there's -X ..)
1956 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1957 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1958 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1960 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1961 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1962 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1963 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

2008 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2009 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2011 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2012 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2044 line, as well as in debian/rules.

2046 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2047 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2048 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2049 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2050 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2051 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2052 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2053 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2054 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2055 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2056 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2058 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2093 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2094 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2095 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2096 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2097 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2098 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2099 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2100 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2101 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2281 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2282 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2283 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some

2285 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2286 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2287 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2313 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting

2532 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2533 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2534 switching to statoverrides..
2535 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2536 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2537 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2538 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2539 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2540 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2542 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2543 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2544 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2545 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2546 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2547 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2548 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2549 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2550 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2552 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2553 variable names, pod man pages).
2554 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2555 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2556 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2557 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2558 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2559 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2560 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2632 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2633 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2725 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2726 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2727 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2728 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2729 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2731 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2732 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2733 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2735 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

2738 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2739 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2740 should now be raised to severity important..

2784 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2976 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2977 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2978 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2979 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2980 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2981 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2982 notice until v2 is complete.
2983 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2984 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2985 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2986 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2987 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2988 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2990 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3114 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3115 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3117 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3118 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3119 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3120 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3121 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3122 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

3202 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3203 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3204 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3205 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3206 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3207 bits until all files have been registered.

3217 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3218 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3219 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3221 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3222 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3223 otherwise change the result at all.
3225 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3226 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3345 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3346 I made some changes, though:
3347 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3348 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3349 that is a clear violation of policy.
3350 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3351 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3352 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3353 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3354 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3355 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3356 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3357 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3358 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3360 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3531 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3532 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.

3542 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3543 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3545 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3546 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3547 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3548 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3549 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3550 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3552 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3553 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

3604 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
3605 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
3606 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
3607 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
3608 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so

4486 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4487 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4488 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4593 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4594 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4595 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4596 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4597 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4598 I apologize for the inconvenience.

4856 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4857 past week. Thanks, guys!
4859 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4860 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4861 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4862 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4863 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4864 would do in the same situation.
4865 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4866 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4868 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4870 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4871 permissions changed.
4872 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4873 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4874 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4875 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4876 files are treated identically.

4890 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4891 use -X multiple times, too.

5166 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

5168 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5169 are supported. (#16935)

5187 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5188 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

5197 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5198 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

5202 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5203 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5204 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5205 a given package, or -i or -a.
5206 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5207 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5208 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5209 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5210 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5211 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5212 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5213 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5214 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
5216 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
5217 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

5240 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
5241 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

5268 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

5290 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.

5292 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5293 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

5521 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5522 the package build directory it is to act on.
