3 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
4 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
5 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
6 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

25 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
26 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
27 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
28 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
29 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
30 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
31 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

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

161 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
162 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
163 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
164 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
165 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

169 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
171 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
172 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
173 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
174 multiple binary packages.
175 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
176 should rebuild them with this version.
177 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

195 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
197 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
198 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
199 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
200 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
201 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
202 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
203 debian/README.debian.
204 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
205 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
206 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
207 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
208 in a few situations.)

239 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
241 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
242 is ready for general use.
243 * Added man pages for all commands.
244 * Multiple binary package support.
245 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
246 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
247 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
249 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
250 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
251 auto-installed as parameters.
252 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
254 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
257 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
258 the package build directory it is to act on.
259 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
260 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
261 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
