509 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
510 specific python version. Closes: #373853
511 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
512 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
514 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
515 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
516 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
517 the not too-distant future).
518 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
519 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
520 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
521 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
522 thus made the build fail.

2218 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2219 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2220 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2221 dh_install, which ...
2222 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2223 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2224 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2225 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2226 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2227 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2228 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2229 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2230 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2231 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2232 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2233 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2234 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2235 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2236 other minor changes.
2237 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2238 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2239 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2240 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2241 course there's -X ..)
2242 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2243 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2244 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2246 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2247 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2248 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2249 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2250 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2325 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2327 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2328 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2329 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2330 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2331 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2332 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2333 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2334 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2335 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2336 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2337 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2338 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2339 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2340 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2341 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2342 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2344 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2361 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2362 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2363 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2364 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2365 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2379 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2380 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2381 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2382 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2383 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2384 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2385 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2386 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2387 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2561 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2563 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2564 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2565 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2566 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2567 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2568 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2569 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2570 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2571 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2572 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2573 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2574 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2575 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2595 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2596 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2597 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2598 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2599 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2600 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2601 program those options go to. So, for example,
2602 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2603 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2744 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2745 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2746 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2747 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2748 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2749 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2750 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2751 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2805 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2807 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2808 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2809 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2810 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2811 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2812 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2813 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2814 but is mildly deprecated.
2815 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2816 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2817 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2818 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2819 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2820 switching to statoverrides..
2821 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2822 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2823 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2824 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2825 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2826 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2828 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2829 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2830 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2831 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2832 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2833 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2834 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2835 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2836 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2838 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2839 variable names, pod man pages).
2840 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2841 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2842 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2843 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2844 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2845 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2846 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3011 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3012 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3013 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3014 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3015 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3017 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3018 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3019 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3021 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3023 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3024 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3025 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3026 should now be raised to severity important..
3027 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3028 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3067 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
3068 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3069 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3070 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3071 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3084 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3085 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3086 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3087 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3088 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3196 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

3260 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
3262 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3263 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3264 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3265 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3266 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3267 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3268 notice until v2 is complete.
3269 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3270 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3271 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3272 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3273 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3274 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3276 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3277 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3278 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3490 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3491 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3492 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3493 bits until all files have been registered.

3530 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
3531 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3532 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3534 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3535 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3536 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3537 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3632 I made some changes, though:
3633 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3634 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3635 that is a clear violation of policy.
3636 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3637 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3638 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3639 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3640 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3641 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3642 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3643 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3644 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3646 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3814 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3815 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3816 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3817 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3818 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3819 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3820 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3821 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4160 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4557 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4558 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4559 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4560 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
4561 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
4562 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
4563 suidregister actually supports it.
4564 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
4565 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

4581 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4582 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4583 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.

4770 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4771 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4772 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4773 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4774 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4775 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5022 * This relelase is not really intended for stable. I throw a copy into
5023 stable-updates because I want it to be available as an upgrade for
5024 people using debian 2.0 (the current version in debian 2.0 has no
5025 critical bugs, but this version is of course a lot nicer), and I plan
5026 to start work on a new branch of debhelper that will fix many wishlist
5027 bug reports, and of course introduce many new bugs, and which will go

5140 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5141 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5142 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5143 past week. Thanks, guys!
5145 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5146 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5147 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5148 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5149 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5150 would do in the same situation.
5151 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5152 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5154 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5156 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5157 permissions changed.
5158 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5159 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5160 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5161 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5162 files are treated identically.
5163 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5164 * Minor man page fixes.
5165 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
5166 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
5167 --no-act is on. (#23054)

5174 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
5175 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5176 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5177 use -X multiple times, too.
5178 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5179 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5200 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
5201 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
5202 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
5203 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
5204 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5205 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

5207 shape if you're starting a new package.

5236 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
5237 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
5238 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
5239 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package

5526 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
5527 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
5528 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

5575 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5576 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5577 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5578 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5579 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5580 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5581 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5657 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5658 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5659 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5660 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5749 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5750 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5751 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5752 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5753 debian/README.debian.
5754 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5755 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5756 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5757 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5758 in a few situations.)

5801 auto-installed as parameters.
5802 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5804 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5807 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5808 the package build directory it is to act on.
5809 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5810 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5811 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
