1313 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1314 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1315 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1316 dh_install, which ...
1317 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1318 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1319 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1320 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1321 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1322 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1323 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1324 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1325 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1326 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1327 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1328 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1329 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1330 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1331 other minor changes.
1332 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1333 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1334 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1335 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1336 course there's -X ..)
1337 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1338 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1339 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1341 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1342 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1343 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1344 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1345 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1390 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1391 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1392 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1393 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1420 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1422 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1423 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1424 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1425 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1426 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1427 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1428 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1429 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1430 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1431 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1432 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1433 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1434 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1435 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1436 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1437 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1439 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1457 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1458 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1459 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

1474 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1475 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1476 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1477 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1478 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1479 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1480 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1481 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1482 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1658 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

1660 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1661 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1662 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1663 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1664 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1665 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1666 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1667 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1668 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1670 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1692 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1693 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1694 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1695 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1696 program those options go to. So, for example,
1697 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

1840 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1841 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1842 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1843 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1844 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1845 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1900 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1902 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1903 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1904 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1905 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1906 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1907 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1908 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1909 but is mildly deprecated.
1910 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1911 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1912 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1913 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1914 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1915 switching to statoverrides..
1916 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1917 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1918 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1919 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1920 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1921 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1923 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1924 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1925 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1926 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1927 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1928 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1929 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1930 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1931 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1933 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1934 variable names, pod man pages).
1935 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1936 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1937 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1938 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1939 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1940 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1941 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2102 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
2104 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2105 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2106 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2107 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2108 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2109 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2110 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2112 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2113 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2114 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2116 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2118 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2119 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2120 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2121 should now be raised to severity important..
2122 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2123 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2162 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
2163 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2164 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2165 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2166 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2179 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
2180 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
2181 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2182 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2183 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2355 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2357 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2358 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2359 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2360 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2361 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2362 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2363 notice until v2 is complete.
2364 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2365 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2366 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2367 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2368 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2369 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2371 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2372 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2373 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2495 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2496 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2498 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2499 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2500 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2501 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2582 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
2583 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
2584 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2585 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2586 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2587 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2588 bits until all files have been registered.

2597 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
2598 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2599 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2600 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2601 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2602 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2603 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2604 otherwise change the result at all.

2607 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2629 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2630 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2631 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2632 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2726 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2727 I made some changes, though:
2728 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2729 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2730 that is a clear violation of policy.
2731 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2732 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2733 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2734 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2735 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2736 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2737 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2738 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2739 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2741 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2785 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2786 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2787 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2906 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2907 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2908 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2909 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2910 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2911 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2912 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2913 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2914 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2915 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2916 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2926 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3867 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3868 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3869 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4045 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
4046 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4047 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4048 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4049 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4050 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4051 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4052 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4053 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4054 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4055 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4056 passed any switches.
4057 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

4068 large chunks in the process.

4070 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4237 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4238 past week. Thanks, guys!
4240 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4241 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4242 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4243 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4244 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4245 would do in the same situation.
4246 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4247 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4249 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4251 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4252 permissions changed.
4253 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4254 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4255 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4256 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4257 files are treated identically.
4258 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4271 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4272 use -X multiple times, too.

4585 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4586 a given package, or -i or -a.
4587 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4588 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

4592 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4673 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
