17 * Man page typo. Closes: #545443
18 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
19 (It was only run once due to logging.)
20 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
21 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
22 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
23 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
24 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
25 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
26 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
27 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev
28 to rules.d/<priority>-<name>, the same as debian/<name>.udev
29 is installed for the first package. Closes: #546337

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

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

295 * Allow command-specific options to be passed to commands
296 via dh without causing other commands to emit a getopt
297 warning or deprecation message.
298 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
299 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
300 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
301 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
302 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
303 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
304 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

632 daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
633 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded
634 while they're running, it's not the default. It might become the default

690 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs

1044 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1045 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1047 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1048 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1049 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
1050 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
1051 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
1052 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
1053 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
1054 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
1055 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

1065 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
1066 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1067 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1068 script and then remove the python files.
1069 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1070 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1071 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1072 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1073 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1074 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1075 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1076 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1077 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1078 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1198 * Update of dh_python
1199 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1200 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1201 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1202 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1203 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1204 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1205 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1206 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1207 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1208 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1210 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1211 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1212 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1213 the not too-distant future).
1214 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1215 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

2914 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2915 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2916 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2917 dh_install, which ...
2918 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2919 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2920 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2921 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2922 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2923 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2924 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2925 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2926 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2927 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2928 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2929 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2930 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2931 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2932 other minor changes.
2933 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2934 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2935 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2936 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2937 course there's -X ..)
2938 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2939 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

2942 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2943 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2944 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2945 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2946 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

3025 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3026 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3027 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3028 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3029 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3030 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3031 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3032 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3033 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3034 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3035 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3036 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3037 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3038 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3040 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3075 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3076 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3077 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3078 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3079 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3080 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3081 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3082 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3083 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3267 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3268 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3269 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3295 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3296 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever

3509 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3510 but is mildly deprecated.
3511 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3512 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3513 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3514 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3515 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3516 switching to statoverrides..
3517 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3518 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3519 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3520 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3521 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3522 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3524 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3525 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3526 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3527 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3528 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3529 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3530 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3531 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3532 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3534 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3535 variable names, pod man pages).
3536 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3537 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3538 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3539 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3540 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3541 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3542 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3612 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
3613 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
3614 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3615 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
3616 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
3617 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
3618 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
3619 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
3620 it is an obsolete program.

3705 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3706 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3707 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3708 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3709 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3710 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3711 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3713 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3714 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3715 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3717 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3719 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3720 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3721 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3722 should now be raised to severity important..
3723 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3724 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3764 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3765 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3766 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3958 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3959 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3960 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3961 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3962 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3963 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3964 notice until v2 is complete.
3965 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3966 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3967 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3968 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3969 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3970 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3972 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4100 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4101 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4102 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4103 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

4185 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4186 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4187 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4188 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4189 bits until all files have been registered.

4200 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4201 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

4204 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

4207 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4208 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4230 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to

4327 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4328 I made some changes, though:
4329 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4330 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4331 that is a clear violation of policy.
4332 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4333 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4334 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4335 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4336 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4337 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4338 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4339 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4340 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4342 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4513 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make

4516 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4517 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4523 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4524 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4525 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4527 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4528 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4529 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4530 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4531 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4532 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4534 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4535 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

5225 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
5226 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

5255 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

5468 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5469 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5470 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5471 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5575 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5576 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5577 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5578 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5579 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5580 I apologize for the inconvenience.

5583 remove debian/files properly.

5838 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5839 past week. Thanks, guys!
5841 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5842 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5843 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5844 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5845 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5846 would do in the same situation.
5847 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5848 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

5852 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5853 permissions changed.

5855 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5856 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5857 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5858 files are treated identically.

5873 use -X multiple times, too.

6180 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

6186 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6187 a given package, or -i or -a.
6188 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6189 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6190 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6191 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6192 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6193 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6195 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6274 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
