1061 * Make dh_installchangelogs install debian/NEWS files as well, as
1062 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
1063 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
1064 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
1065 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
1066 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

1211 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1212 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1213 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1214 dh_install, which ...
1215 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1216 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1217 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1218 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1219 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1220 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1221 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1222 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1223 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1224 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1225 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1226 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1227 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1228 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1229 other minor changes.
1230 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1231 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1232 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1233 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1234 course there's -X ..)
1235 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1236 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1237 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1239 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1240 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1241 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1242 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1243 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1318 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1320 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1321 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1322 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1323 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1324 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1325 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1326 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1327 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1328 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1329 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1330 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1331 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1332 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1333 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1334 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1335 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1337 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1354 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
1355 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1356 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1357 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

1372 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1373 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1374 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1375 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1376 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1377 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1378 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1379 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1380 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1556 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1557 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1558 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1559 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1560 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1561 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1562 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1563 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1564 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1565 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1566 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1568 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1590 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1591 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1592 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1593 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1594 program those options go to. So, for example,
1595 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1596 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1740 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities

1800 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1801 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1802 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1803 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1804 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1806 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1807 but is mildly deprecated.
1808 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1809 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1810 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1811 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1812 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1813 switching to statoverrides..
1814 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1815 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1816 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1817 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1818 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1819 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1821 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1822 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1823 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1824 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1825 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1826 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1827 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1828 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1829 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1831 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1832 variable names, pod man pages).
1833 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1834 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1835 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1836 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1837 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1838 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1839 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2005 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2010 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2011 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2012 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2014 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2016 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2017 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2018 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

2255 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2256 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2257 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2258 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2259 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2260 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2261 notice until v2 is complete.
2262 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2263 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2264 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2265 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2266 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2267 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2269 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2270 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2271 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2484 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

2624 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2625 I made some changes, though:
2626 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2627 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2628 that is a clear violation of policy.
2629 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2630 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2631 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2632 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2633 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2634 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2635 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2636 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2637 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2639 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2806 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2807 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2808 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2809 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2810 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2811 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2812 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2813 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2814 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3040 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.
3041 * Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest
3042 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
3043 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

3053 debhelper (2.0.00) unstable; urgency=low
3055 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
3056 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
3057 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
3058 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3059 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
3060 * debhelper.1: documented this.
3061 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
3062 current compatability level is equal to that number.
3063 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.
3064 * debhelper itself now builds using DH_COMPAT=2.

3089 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
3090 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
3091 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
3092 more than 1 init script.

3135 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3136 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3137 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3149 debhelper (1.2.74) unstable; urgency=low
3151 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
3152 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3153 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3155 x bit was being set!

3197 help from Julian Gilbey.

3199 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
3200 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
3201 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

3307 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

3555 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
3556 suidregister actually supports it.
3557 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
3558 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

3571 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
3572 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
3573 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
3574 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
3575 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
3576 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
3577 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
3578 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

3763 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3764 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3765 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3766 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3767 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3768 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4133 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4134 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4135 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4136 past week. Thanks, guys!
4138 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4139 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4140 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4141 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4142 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4143 would do in the same situation.
4144 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4145 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4147 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4149 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4150 permissions changed.
4151 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4152 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4153 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4154 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4155 files are treated identically.
4156 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4157 * Minor man page fixes.
4158 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4169 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4170 use -X multiple times, too.
4171 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4172 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4534 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
4535 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
4536 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
4537 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
4538 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

4568 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4569 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4570 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4571 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4572 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4573 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4574 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4653 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4743 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4744 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4745 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4746 debian/README.debian.
4747 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4748 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4749 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4750 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4751 in a few situations.)

4797 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4800 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4801 the package build directory it is to act on.
4802 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4803 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4804 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
