1073 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
1074 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
1075 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
1076 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
1077 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
1078 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573
1079 * dh_installdebconf: pass --drop-old-templates to debconf-mergetemplate.
1080 Means debhelper has to depend on debconf-utils 1.1.1.

1106 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1108 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1109 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1110 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1111 dh_install, which ...
1112 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1113 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1114 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1115 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1116 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1117 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1118 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1119 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1120 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1121 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1122 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1123 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1124 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1125 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1126 other minor changes.
1127 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1128 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1129 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1130 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1131 course there's -X ..)
1132 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1133 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1134 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1136 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1137 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1138 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1139 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1140 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1182 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
1184 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1185 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1186 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1187 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1188 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
1190 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.

1215 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1217 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1218 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1219 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1220 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1221 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1222 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1223 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1224 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1225 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1226 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1227 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1228 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1229 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1230 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1231 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1232 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1234 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1252 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1253 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!

1267 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1269 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1270 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1271 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1272 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1273 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1274 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1275 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1276 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1277 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1461 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1462 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1463 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1637 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1638 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1639 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is

1695 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1697 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1698 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1699 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1700 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1701 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1703 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1704 but is mildly deprecated.
1705 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1706 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1707 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1708 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1709 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1710 switching to statoverrides..
1711 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1712 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1713 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1714 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1715 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1716 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1718 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1719 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1720 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1721 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1722 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1723 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1724 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1725 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1726 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1728 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1729 variable names, pod man pages).
1730 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1731 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1732 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1733 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1734 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1735 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1736 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1902 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1908 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1909 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2043 debhelper (2.1.14) unstable; urgency=low
2045 * Rats, the previous change makes duplicate lines be created in the
2046 shlibs file, and lintian conplains. Added some hackery that should
2047 prevent that. Closes: #73052

2053 * Typo, Closes: #72932
2054 * dh_makeshlibs: follow symlinks to files when looking for files that are
2055 shared libraries. This allows it to catch files like
2056 "liballeg-3.9.33.so" that are not in the *.so.* form it looks for, but
2057 that doe have links to them that are in the right form. Closes: #72938

2084 does not call depmod -a. update-modules (which it always called)_
2085 handles calling depmod if doing so is appropriate. Packages built with
2086 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

2150 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2152 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2153 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2154 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2155 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2156 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2157 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2158 notice until v2 is complete.
2159 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2160 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2161 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2162 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2163 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2164 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2166 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2167 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2168 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2169 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2285 * Patch from Jorgen `forcer' Schaefer <forcer at mindless.com> (much
2286 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
2287 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
2288 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
2289 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
2290 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2291 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2293 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2294 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2295 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2296 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2297 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
2298 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

2377 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
2378 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
2379 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2380 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2381 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2382 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2383 bits until all files have been registered.

2392 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
2393 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2394 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2395 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2396 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2397 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2398 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2399 otherwise change the result at all.
2401 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2402 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2403 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
2404 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

2421 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2422 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2424 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2425 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2426 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without

2521 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2522 I made some changes, though:
2523 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2524 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2525 that is a clear violation of policy.
2526 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2527 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2528 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2529 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2530 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2531 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2532 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2533 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2534 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2536 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2555 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
2556 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
2557 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

2577 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
2578 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2579 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2580 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287

2700 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2701 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2702 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2703 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2704 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2705 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2706 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2707 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2708 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2709 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2710 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2711 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2721 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2722 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2723 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2724 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2725 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2726 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3641 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3642 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3643 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3644 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3658 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3659 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3660 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3661 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3662 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3663 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3664 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3665 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3701 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3702 sections of shared libraries.
3703 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3704 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3705 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3706 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3707 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3708 things you don't want them to.

3771 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3772 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3773 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

3844 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
3845 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3846 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3847 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3848 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3849 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

3851 passed any switches.

4036 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to

4042 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4044 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4046 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4047 permissions changed.
4048 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4049 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4050 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4051 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4052 files are treated identically.
4053 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4065 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4066 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4067 use -X multiple times, too.
4068 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4069 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4545 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
4546 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
4547 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4548 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4549 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4550 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4601 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
4602 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
4603 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
4604 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
4605 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

4609 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
4611 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4612 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4613 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4614 multiple binary packages.
4615 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4616 should rebuild them with this version.
4617 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4635 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4637 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4638 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4639 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4640 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4641 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4642 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4643 debian/README.debian.
4644 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4645 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4646 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4647 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4648 in a few situations.)

4679 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4681 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4682 is ready for general use.
4683 * Added man pages for all commands.
4684 * Multiple binary package support.
4685 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4686 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4687 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4689 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4690 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4691 auto-installed as parameters.
4692 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4694 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4697 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4698 the package build directory it is to act on.
4699 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4700 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4701 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
