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

184 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
185 contributed by Modestas Vainius
186 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
187 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
188 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
189 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
190 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
191 that support it. Closes: #480577
192 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
193 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
194 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
196 - Adds support for cmake.
197 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
198 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
200 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
202 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
203 that use them. The options are:
204 --sourcedir, --destdir
205 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
206 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
207 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
208 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
209 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

272 via dh without causing other commands to emit a getopt
273 warning or deprecation message.
274 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
275 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
276 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
277 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
278 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
279 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
280 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

1041 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
1042 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1043 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1044 script and then remove the python files.
1045 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1046 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1047 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1048 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1049 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1050 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1051 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1052 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1053 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1054 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1187 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1188 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

1568 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2892 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2893 dh_install, which ...
2894 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2895 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2896 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2897 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2898 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2899 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2900 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2901 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2902 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2903 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2904 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2905 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2906 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2907 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2908 other minor changes.
2909 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2910 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2911 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2912 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2913 course there's -X ..)
2914 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2915 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

2918 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2919 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

2997 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2999 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3000 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
3001 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3002 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3003 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3004 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3005 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3006 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3007 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3008 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3009 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3010 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3011 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3012 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3013 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3014 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3016 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3030 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
3032 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
3033 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3034 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3035 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3036 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3037 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3038 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3051 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3052 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3053 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3054 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3055 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3056 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3057 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3058 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3059 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3238 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3239 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3240 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3241 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3242 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3243 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3244 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3245 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3269 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3270 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3271 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3272 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3273 program those options go to. So, for example,
3274 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3275 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3419 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3420 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3421 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3422 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3479 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3480 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3481 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3482 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3483 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

3485 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3486 but is mildly deprecated.
3487 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3488 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3489 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3490 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3491 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3492 switching to statoverrides..

3494 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3495 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3496 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3497 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3498 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3500 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3501 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3502 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3503 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3504 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3505 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3506 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3507 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3508 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3510 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3511 variable names, pod man pages).
3512 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3513 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3514 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3515 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3516 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3517 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3518 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3591 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3684 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3686 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3687 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3689 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3690 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3691 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3693 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3695 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3696 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3697 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3698 should now be raised to severity important..

3934 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3935 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3936 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3937 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3938 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3939 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3940 notice until v2 is complete.
3941 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3942 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3943 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3944 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3945 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3946 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

4072 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4073 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4075 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4076 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4077 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4078 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4079 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4080 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

4162 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4163 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4164 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

4303 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4304 I made some changes, though:
4305 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4306 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4307 that is a clear violation of policy.
4308 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4309 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4310 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4311 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4312 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4313 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4314 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4315 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4316 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4318 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4486 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4487 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4488 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4489 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4490 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4491 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4492 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

4564 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
4565 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
4566 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
4567 it's always available.

4737 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except

4814 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4815 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4816 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4831 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4832 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5444 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5445 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5446 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5551 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5552 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5553 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5554 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5555 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5556 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5558 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5559 remove debian/files properly.
5560 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
5561 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
5562 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

5627 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5628 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5629 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5630 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5631 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5814 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5815 past week. Thanks, guys!
5817 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5818 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5819 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5820 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5821 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5822 would do in the same situation.
5823 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5824 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5826 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5828 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5829 permissions changed.
5830 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5831 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5832 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5833 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5834 files are treated identically.
5835 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5848 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5849 use -X multiple times, too.

6016 * dh_movefiles: don't check for package names to see if files are being
6017 moved from one package back into itself, instead, check tmp dir names.
6018 If you use this behavior, you should use "dh_testversion 0.66".

6039 debian-policy that du control files are bad.

6110 * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own
6111 argument processor in perl.

6121 * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp
6122 type directories. (#16933)
6123 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
6124 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
6125 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
6126 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6127 are supported. (#16935)
6128 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

6145 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6146 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
6147 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
6148 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
6149 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.

6153 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
6155 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6156 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
6157 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
6159 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6160 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6161 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6162 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6163 a given package, or -i or -a.
6164 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6165 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6166 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6167 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6168 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6169 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6170 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6171 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6172 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
6174 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
6175 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
6176 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

6198 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
6199 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
6200 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

6226 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

6247 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6248 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6249 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6250 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6251 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6252 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6253 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6329 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.

6428 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper

6476 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6479 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6480 the package build directory it is to act on.
6481 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6482 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
