304 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
305 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614

322 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
323 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init

325 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
326 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
327 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
328 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
329 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
330 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
331 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
332 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
333 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
334 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

455 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
456 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

461 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
462 specific python version. Closes: #373853
463 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
464 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
466 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
467 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
468 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
469 the not too-distant future).

2170 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2171 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2172 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2173 dh_install, which ...
2174 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2175 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2176 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2177 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2178 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2179 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2180 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2181 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2182 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2183 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2184 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2185 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2186 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2187 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2188 other minor changes.
2189 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2190 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2191 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2192 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2193 course there's -X ..)
2194 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2195 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2196 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2198 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2199 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2200 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2201 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2202 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2247 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2249 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2250 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2277 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2279 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2280 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2281 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2282 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2283 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2284 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2285 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2286 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2287 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2288 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2289 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2290 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2291 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2292 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2293 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2294 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2296 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2314 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2315 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2316 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

2331 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2332 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2333 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2334 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2335 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2336 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2337 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2338 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2339 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2517 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2518 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2519 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2520 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2521 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2522 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2523 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2524 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2525 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2547 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2548 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2549 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2550 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2551 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2552 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2553 program those options go to. So, for example,
2554 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2555 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2556 something complex. Closes: #89311

2696 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2697 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2698 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2699 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2700 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2701 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2702 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2703 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2704 Closes: #88464, #77743

2706 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants

2757 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2759 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2760 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2761 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2762 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2763 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2764 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2765 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2766 but is mildly deprecated.
2767 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2768 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2769 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2770 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2771 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2772 switching to statoverrides..
2773 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2774 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2775 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2776 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2777 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2778 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2780 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2781 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2782 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2783 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2784 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2785 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2786 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2787 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2788 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2790 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2791 variable names, pod man pages).
2792 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2793 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2794 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2795 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2796 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2797 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2798 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2870 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2871 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2873 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2964 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2966 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2967 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2969 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2970 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2971 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2975 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2976 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt

3019 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
3020 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3021 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3022 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3023 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3035 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
3036 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3037 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3038 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3039 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3040 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3214 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3215 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3216 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3217 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3218 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3219 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3220 notice until v2 is complete.
3221 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3222 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3223 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3224 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3225 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3226 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3228 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3229 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3230 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3231 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3355 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

3442 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3443 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3444 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3445 bits until all files have been registered.

3457 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3458 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100

3460 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3461 otherwise change the result at all.
3463 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3464 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3583 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3584 I made some changes, though:
3585 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3586 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3587 that is a clear violation of policy.
3588 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3589 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3590 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3591 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3592 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3593 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3594 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3595 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3596 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3598 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3766 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3767 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3768 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3769 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3770 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3771 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3772 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

4048 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
4049 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
4050 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
4051 more than 1 init script.

4094 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4095 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4096 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4111 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4112 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4114 x bit was being set!

4158 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
4159 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
4160 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
4161 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl

4266 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

4268 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

4481 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4482 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

4565 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages

4704 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4705 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4706 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4721 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4722 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4723 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4724 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4725 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4726 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4727 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4766 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4767 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4768 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4769 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4770 things you don't want them to.

5092 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5093 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5094 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5095 past week. Thanks, guys!
5097 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5098 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5099 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5100 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5101 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5102 would do in the same situation.
5103 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5104 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5106 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5108 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5109 permissions changed.
5110 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5111 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5112 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5113 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5114 files are treated identically.
5115 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5117 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

5128 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5129 use -X multiple times, too.
5130 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

5527 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5528 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5529 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5530 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5531 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5532 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5533 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5553 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
5554 the dh_* programs (#15497).
5555 * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

5582 README.Debian is installed with the same name..)

5607 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
5608 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5609 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5610 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5611 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5612 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5664 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5665 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5666 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5667 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5671 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5673 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5674 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5675 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5676 multiple binary packages.
5677 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5678 should rebuild them with this version.
5679 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5697 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5699 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5700 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5701 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5702 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5703 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5704 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5705 debian/README.debian.
5706 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5707 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5708 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5709 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5710 in a few situations.)

5741 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5743 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5744 is ready for general use.
5745 * Added man pages for all commands.
5746 * Multiple binary package support.
5747 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5748 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5749 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5751 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5752 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5753 auto-installed as parameters.
5754 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5756 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5759 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5760 the package build directory it is to act on.
5761 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5762 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5763 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
