307 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1629 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1630 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1631 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1632 dh_install, which ...
1633 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1634 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1635 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1636 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1637 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1638 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1639 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1640 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1641 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1642 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1643 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1644 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1645 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1646 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1647 other minor changes.
1648 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1649 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1650 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1651 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1652 course there's -X ..)
1653 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1654 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1655 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1657 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1658 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1659 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1660 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1661 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1705 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1706 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1707 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1708 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1709 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1736 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1738 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1739 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1740 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1741 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1742 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1743 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1744 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1745 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1746 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1747 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1748 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1749 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1750 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1751 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1752 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1753 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1755 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1790 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1791 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1792 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1793 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1794 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1795 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1796 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1797 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1798 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2046 * dh_shlibdeps: the -l switch now just adds to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if it is
2047 already set. Newer fakeroots set it, and clobbering their settings

2155 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2156 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2157 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2158 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2159 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2160 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2161 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2162 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2216 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2218 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2219 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2220 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2221 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2222 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2223 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2224 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2225 but is mildly deprecated.
2226 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2227 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2228 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2229 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2230 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2231 switching to statoverrides..
2232 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2233 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2234 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2235 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2236 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2237 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2239 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2240 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2241 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2242 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2243 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2244 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2245 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2246 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2247 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2249 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2250 variable names, pod man pages).
2251 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2252 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2253 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2254 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2255 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2256 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2257 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2327 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2328 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2329 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2330 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2331 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2332 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2333 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2334 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that

2423 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2424 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2425 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2426 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2428 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2429 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2430 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2432 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2434 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2435 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2436 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2671 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2673 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2674 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2675 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2676 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2677 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2678 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2679 notice until v2 is complete.
2680 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2681 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2682 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2683 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2684 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2685 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2687 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2688 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2689 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2814 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2901 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2902 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2903 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

2915 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2916 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

2922 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects

3044 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3045 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3046 that is a clear violation of policy.
3047 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3048 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3049 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3050 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3051 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3052 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3053 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3054 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3055 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3057 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3224 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3225 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3226 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3227 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3228 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3229 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3230 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3231 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3232 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4181 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4182 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4183 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4184 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4185 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4186 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4225 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4226 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4227 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4228 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4229 things you don't want them to.

4551 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4552 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4553 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4554 past week. Thanks, guys!
4556 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4557 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4558 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4559 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4560 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4561 would do in the same situation.
4562 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4563 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4565 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4567 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4568 permissions changed.
4569 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4570 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4571 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4572 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4573 files are treated identically.
4574 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4575 * Minor man page fixes.
4576 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4577 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4578 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4584 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
4585 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4586 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4587 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4588 use -X multiple times, too.
4589 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4590 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4596 * dh_strip: strip .comment and .note, not comment and note, when stripping

4611 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
4612 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
4613 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
4614 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
4615 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4616 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
4617 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
4618 shape if you're starting a new package.

4647 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
4648 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
4649 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
4650 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package
4652 * dh_gencontrol: if debian/package.changelogs files exist, use them.

4716 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
4717 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
4718 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
4719 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
4720 no packages use the old behavior.

4863 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
4864 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
4865 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4866 are supported. (#16935)

4884 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4885 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
4886 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
4887 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

4894 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4895 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

4899 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4900 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4901 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4902 a given package, or -i or -a.
4903 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4904 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4905 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4906 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4907 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4908 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4909 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4910 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
4911 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
4913 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
4914 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

4988 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4989 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4990 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

5066 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
5067 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5068 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5069 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5070 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5071 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5123 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5124 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5125 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5126 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5130 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5132 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5133 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5134 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5135 multiple binary packages.
5136 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5137 should rebuild them with this version.
5138 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5156 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5158 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5159 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5160 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5161 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5162 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5163 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5164 debian/README.debian.
5165 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5166 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5167 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5168 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5169 in a few situations.)

5202 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5203 is ready for general use.
5204 * Added man pages for all commands.
5205 * Multiple binary package support.
5206 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5207 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5208 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5210 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5211 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5212 auto-installed as parameters.
5213 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5215 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5218 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5219 the package build directory it is to act on.
5220 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5221 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5222 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
