26 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
27 (It was only run once due to logging.)
28 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
29 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
30 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
31 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
32 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
33 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
34 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293

55 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
56 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
57 flag with arch all/any packages.
58 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
59 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
60 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
61 situation. Closes: #540794

216 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
217 contributed by Modestas Vainius
218 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
219 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
220 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
221 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
222 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
223 that support it. Closes: #480577
224 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
225 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
226 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
228 - Adds support for cmake.
229 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
230 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
232 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
234 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
235 that use them. The options are:
236 --sourcedir, --destdir
237 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
238 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
239 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
240 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
241 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

309 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
310 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

1022 - typo in alternatives call
1023 - use the basename of the wm to get the man page name
1025 * dh_installwm: Also make the code to find the man page more robust and
1026 fall back to not registering a man page if it is not found.

1052 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1053 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1055 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1056 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1057 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
1058 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
1059 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
1060 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
1061 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.

1063 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

1074 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1075 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1076 script and then remove the python files.
1077 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1078 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1079 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1080 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1081 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1084 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in

1086 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1207 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1208 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1209 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1210 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1211 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1212 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1213 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1214 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1215 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1216 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1218 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1219 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1220 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1221 the not too-distant future).

1600 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2922 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2923 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2924 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2925 dh_install, which ...
2926 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2927 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2928 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2929 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2930 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2931 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2932 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2933 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2934 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2935 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2936 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2937 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2938 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2939 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2940 other minor changes.
2941 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2942 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2943 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2944 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2945 course there's -X ..)
2946 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2947 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2948 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2950 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2951 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2952 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2953 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2954 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

3001 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3002 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3024 * dh_installxfonts: separate multiple commands with \n so sed doesn't get
3025 upset. Closes: #131322

3029 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3031 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3032 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
3033 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3034 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3035 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3036 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3037 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3038 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3039 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3040 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3041 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3042 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3043 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3044 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3045 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3046 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3048 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3064 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
3065 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3066 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3067 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3068 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3069 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3070 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3081 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3083 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3084 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3085 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3086 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3087 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3088 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3089 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3090 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3091 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3271 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3272 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3273 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3274 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3275 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3276 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3277 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3302 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3303 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3304 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3305 program those options go to. So, for example,
3306 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

3511 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3512 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3513 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3514 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3515 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3516 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3517 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3518 but is mildly deprecated.
3519 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3520 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3521 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3522 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3523 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3524 switching to statoverrides..
3525 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3526 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3527 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3528 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3529 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3530 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3532 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3533 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3534 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3535 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3536 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3537 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3538 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3539 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3540 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3542 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3543 variable names, pod man pages).
3544 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3545 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3546 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3547 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3548 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3549 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3550 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3619 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
3620 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
3621 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
3622 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3623 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
3624 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
3625 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
3626 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
3627 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
3628 it is an obsolete program.

3715 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3716 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3717 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3718 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3719 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3721 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3722 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3723 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3725 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3727 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3728 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3729 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3730 should now be raised to severity important..
3731 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3732 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3773 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3774 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3966 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3967 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3968 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3969 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3970 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3971 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3972 notice until v2 is complete.
3973 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3974 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3975 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3976 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3977 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3978 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3980 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4104 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4105 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4107 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4108 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4109 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4110 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4111 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

4192 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4193 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4194 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4195 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4196 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4197 bits until all files have been registered.

4207 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4208 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4209 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4210 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4211 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4212 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4213 otherwise change the result at all.
4215 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4216 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4217 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4235 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4236 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4238 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4239 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4240 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without

4335 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4336 I made some changes, though:
4337 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4338 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4339 that is a clear violation of policy.
4340 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4341 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4342 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4343 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4344 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4345 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4346 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4347 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4348 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4350 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4394 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4395 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4396 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4518 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4519 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4520 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4521 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4522 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4523 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4524 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4525 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4531 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4532 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4533 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4535 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4536 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4537 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4538 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4539 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4540 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4542 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4543 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

5233 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
5234 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
5235 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I

5261 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
5262 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
5263 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5264 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

5267 suidregister actually supports it.

5285 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

5476 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5477 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5478 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5479 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5521 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5522 things you don't want them to.
5523 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
5524 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

5585 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5586 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5587 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

5846 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5847 past week. Thanks, guys!
5849 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5850 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5851 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5852 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5853 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5854 would do in the same situation.
5855 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5856 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

5860 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5861 permissions changed.

5863 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5864 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5865 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5866 files are treated identically.

6193 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6194 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6195 a given package, or -i or -a.
6196 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6197 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6198 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6199 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6200 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6201 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6203 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6511 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6512 the package build directory it is to act on.
6513 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6514 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6515 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
