720 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
721 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
722 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
723 dh_install, which ...
724 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
725 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
726 mess, as it uses debian/install.
727 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
728 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
729 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
730 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
731 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
732 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
733 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
734 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
735 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
736 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
737 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
739 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
740 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
741 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
742 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
743 course there's -X ..)
744 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
745 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
746 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
748 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
749 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
750 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
751 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
752 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

827 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
829 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
830 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
831 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
832 line, as well as in debian/rules.
833 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
834 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
835 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
836 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
837 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
838 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
839 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
840 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
841 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
842 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
843 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
844 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
846 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

863 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
864 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
865 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
866 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

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

1063 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
1065 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1066 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1067 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1068 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1069 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1070 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1071 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1072 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1073 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1074 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1075 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1076 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1077 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1097 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1098 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1099 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1100 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1101 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1102 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1103 program those options go to. So, for example,
1104 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1105 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1246 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1247 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1248 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1249 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1250 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1251 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1252 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1253 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

1309 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1310 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1311 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1312 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1313 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1314 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1315 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1316 but is mildly deprecated.
1317 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1318 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1319 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1320 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1321 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1322 switching to statoverrides..
1323 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1324 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1325 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1326 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1327 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1328 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1330 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1331 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1332 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1333 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1334 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1335 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1336 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1337 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1338 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1340 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1341 variable names, pod man pages).
1342 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1343 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1344 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1345 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1346 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1347 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1348 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1420 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1421 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1514 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
1515 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
1516 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1517 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1519 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1520 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1521 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
1523 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
1525 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
1526 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1527 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
1528 should now be raised to severity important..

1764 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1765 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1766 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1767 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1768 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1769 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1770 notice until v2 is complete.
1771 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1772 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1773 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1774 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1775 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1776 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1778 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
1779 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

1993 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

2133 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2134 I made some changes, though:
2135 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2136 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2137 that is a clear violation of policy.
2138 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2139 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2140 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2141 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2142 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2143 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2144 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2145 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2146 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2148 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2193 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2194 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2316 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2317 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2318 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2319 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2320 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2321 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2322 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2323 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2549 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.
2550 * Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest
2551 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
2552 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

2564 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
2565 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
2566 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
2567 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
2568 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
2569 * debhelper.1: documented this.
2570 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
2571 current compatability level is equal to that number.

2598 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
2599 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
2600 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install

2644 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
2645 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
2646 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

2660 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
2661 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
2662 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

2708 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)

2710 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

3064 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
3065 suidregister actually supports it.
3066 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
3067 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

3080 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
3081 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
3082 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
3083 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
3084 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
3085 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
3086 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
3087 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

3272 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3273 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3274 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3275 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3276 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3277 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3642 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
3643 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
3644 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3645 past week. Thanks, guys!
3647 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3648 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3649 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3650 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3651 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3652 would do in the same situation.
3653 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3654 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3656 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3658 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3659 permissions changed.
3660 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3661 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3662 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3663 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3664 files are treated identically.
3665 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

3678 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3679 use -X multiple times, too.

4043 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
4044 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
4045 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
4046 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
4047 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

4056 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

4077 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4078 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4079 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4080 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4081 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4082 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4083 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4161 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4162 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4252 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4253 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4254 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4255 debian/README.debian.
4256 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4257 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4258 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4259 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4260 in a few situations.)

4306 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4309 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4310 the package build directory it is to act on.
4311 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4312 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4313 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
