244 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
246 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
247 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version

269 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
270 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
271 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
272 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

275 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in

398 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
399 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

401 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
402 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
403 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
404 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
405 specific python version. Closes: #373853
406 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
407 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
409 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
410 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
411 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
412 the not too-distant future).
413 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.

2080 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
2081 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to

2113 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2114 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2115 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2116 dh_install, which ...
2117 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2118 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2119 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2120 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2121 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2122 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2123 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2124 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2125 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2126 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2127 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2128 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2129 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2130 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2131 other minor changes.
2132 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2133 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2134 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2135 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2136 course there's -X ..)
2137 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2138 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2139 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2141 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2142 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2143 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2144 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2145 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2189 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2190 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2191 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2192 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2193 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2220 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2222 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2223 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2224 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2225 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2226 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2227 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2228 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2229 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2230 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2231 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2232 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2233 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2234 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2235 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2236 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2237 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2239 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2272 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2274 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2275 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2276 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2277 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2278 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2279 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2280 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2281 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2282 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2642 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2643 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies

2700 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2702 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2703 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2704 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2705 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2706 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2707 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2708 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2709 but is mildly deprecated.
2710 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2711 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2712 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2713 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2714 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2715 switching to statoverrides..
2716 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2717 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2718 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2719 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2720 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2721 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2723 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2724 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2725 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2726 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2727 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2728 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2729 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2730 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2731 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2733 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2734 variable names, pod man pages).
2735 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2736 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2737 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2738 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2739 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2740 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2741 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2907 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2913 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in

3155 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
3157 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3158 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3159 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3160 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3161 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3162 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3163 notice until v2 is complete.
3164 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3165 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3166 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3167 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3168 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3169 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3171 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3172 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3173 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3295 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3296 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3298 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

3385 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3386 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3387 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3388 bits until all files have been registered.

3527 I made some changes, though:
3528 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3529 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3530 that is a clear violation of policy.
3531 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3532 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3533 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3534 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3535 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.

3706 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3707 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3708 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3709 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3710 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3711 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3712 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3713 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3714 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3715 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3716 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4646 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4647 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4648 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4649 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4663 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4664 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4665 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4666 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4667 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4668 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4669 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4670 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4706 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4707 sections of shared libraries.
4708 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4709 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4710 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4711 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4712 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4713 things you don't want them to.

4778 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

4850 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4851 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4852 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4853 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4854 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5040 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5041 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5042 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5043 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5044 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5045 would do in the same situation.
5046 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5047 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5049 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5051 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5052 permissions changed.
5053 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5054 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5055 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5056 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5057 files are treated identically.
5058 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5059 * Minor man page fixes.
5060 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
5061 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
5062 --no-act is on. (#23054)

5068 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
5069 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
5070 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5071 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5072 use -X multiple times, too.
5073 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5074 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5098 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
5099 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5100 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

5102 shape if you're starting a new package.

5385 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5386 a given package, or -i or -a.
5387 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5388 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5392 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5394 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5550 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
5551 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5552 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5553 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5554 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5555 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5607 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5608 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5609 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5610 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5614 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5616 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5617 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5618 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5619 multiple binary packages.
5620 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5621 should rebuild them with this version.
5622 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5640 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5642 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5643 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5644 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5645 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5646 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5647 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5648 debian/README.debian.
5649 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5650 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5651 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5652 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5653 in a few situations.)

5684 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5686 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5687 is ready for general use.
5688 * Added man pages for all commands.
5689 * Multiple binary package support.
5690 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5691 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5692 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5694 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5695 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5696 auto-installed as parameters.
5697 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5699 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5702 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5703 the package build directory it is to act on.
5704 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5705 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5706 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
