106 debhelper (8.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
108 * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
109 to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
110 allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
111 build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
112 specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
114 Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
115 but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
116 dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
118 Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
119 overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
120 too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
121 old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
122 acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
123 a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
124 * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
125 in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
126 * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
127 rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
128 Closes: #639341 Thanks, Yann Dirson for test case.
129 * debhelper no longer build-depends on man-db or file, to ease bootstrapping.

373 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.

382 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
383 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
384 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
385 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
386 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
387 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
388 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
389 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
390 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
391 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
392 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
393 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
394 commands. (See #570039)
395 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.

570 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
571 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
572 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
573 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
574 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
575 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
576 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
577 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
578 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
579 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
580 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
581 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
582 time soon.) Closes: #554509

820 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
821 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597

823 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
824 that support it. Closes: #480577
825 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
826 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
827 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
829 - Adds support for cmake.
830 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
831 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
833 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
835 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
836 that use them. The options are:
837 --sourcedir, --destdir
838 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
839 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
840 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
841 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
842 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

1126 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
1127 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
1128 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown

1680 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers

1812 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1813 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1814 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1815 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1816 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1817 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1819 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1820 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1821 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2041 * Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
2042 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
2043 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
2044 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
2045 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
2046 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change

2078 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
2079 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting

2082 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

2197 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatibility

2201 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

3492 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
3493 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573
3494 * dh_installdebconf: pass --drop-old-templates to debconf-mergetemplate.
3495 Means debhelper has to depend on debconf-utils 1.1.1.

3521 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3523 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3524 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3525 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3526 dh_install, which ...
3527 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3528 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3529 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3530 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3531 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3532 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3533 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3534 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3535 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3536 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3537 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3538 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3539 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3540 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3541 other minor changes.
3542 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3543 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3544 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3545 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3546 course there's -X ..)
3547 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3548 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3549 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3551 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3552 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3553 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3554 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3555 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3600 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

3602 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3603 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3630 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3632 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3633 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3634 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3635 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3636 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3637 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3638 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3639 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3640 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3641 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3642 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3643 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3644 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3645 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3646 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3647 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3649 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3684 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3685 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3686 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3687 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3688 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3689 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3690 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3691 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

4052 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
4053 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies

4110 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
4112 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4113 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4114 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4115 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4116 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
4117 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
4118 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4119 but is mildly deprecated.
4120 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4121 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4122 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4123 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4124 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4125 switching to statoverrides..
4126 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4127 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4128 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4129 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4130 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4131 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4133 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4134 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4135 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4136 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4137 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4138 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4139 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4140 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4141 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4143 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4144 variable names, pod man pages).
4145 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4146 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4147 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4148 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4149 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4150 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4151 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4317 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

4567 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4568 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4569 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4570 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4571 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4572 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4573 notice until v2 is complete.
4574 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4575 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4576 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4577 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4578 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4579 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4581 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4582 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

4795 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4796 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4797 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4798 bits until all files have been registered.

4937 I made some changes, though:
4938 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4939 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4940 that is a clear violation of policy.
4941 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4942 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4943 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4944 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4945 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4946 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4947 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4948 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4949 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4951 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4993 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make

5116 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
5117 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
5118 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
5119 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5120 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5121 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5122 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5123 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5124 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5125 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5126 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

6044 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
6045 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
6046 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
6047 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)

6055 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
6056 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
6057 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
6058 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
6059 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

6072 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
6073 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
6074 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
6075 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
6076 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
6077 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
6078 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
6079 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
6080 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6093 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,

6116 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
6117 sections of shared libraries.
6118 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
6119 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6120 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6121 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6122 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6123 things you don't want them to.
6124 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
6125 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

6152 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
6153 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
6154 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

6184 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
6185 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
6186 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6187 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6188 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
6189 I apologize for the inconvenience.

6192 remove debian/files properly.
6193 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

6245 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

6259 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6260 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6261 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6262 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6263 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6264 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
6265 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
6266 passed any switches.

6278 large chunks in the process.
6279 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
6280 install many oddly named files it died on before.

6447 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6448 past week. Thanks, guys!
6450 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6451 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6452 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6453 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6454 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6455 would do in the same situation.
6456 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6457 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6459 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6461 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6462 permissions changed.
6463 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6464 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6465 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6466 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6467 files are treated identically.

6481 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6482 use -X multiple times, too.
6483 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
6484 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6796 a given package, or -i or -a.

6798 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

6965 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

7016 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
7017 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
7018 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
7019 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
7020 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

7026 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
7027 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
7028 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
7029 multiple binary packages.
7030 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
7031 should rebuild them with this version.
7032 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

7050 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
7052 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
7053 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
7054 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
7055 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
7056 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
7057 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
7058 debian/README.debian.
7059 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
7060 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
7061 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
7062 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
7063 in a few situations.)

7094 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
7096 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
7097 is ready for general use.
7098 * Added man pages for all commands.
7099 * Multiple binary package support.
7100 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
7101 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
7102 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
7104 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
7105 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
7106 auto-installed as parameters.
7107 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7109 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7112 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7113 the package build directory it is to act on.
7114 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7115 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7116 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
