5 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
6 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives in other
7 but the top level directory. Closes: #530597
8 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
9 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
10 that support it. Closes: #480577
11 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
12 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
13 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
15 - Adds support for cmake.
16 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
17 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.

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

248 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
249 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
250 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
251 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

775 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
776 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
778 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
779 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
780 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614

782 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537

784 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
785 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
786 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

797 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
798 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
799 script and then remove the python files.
800 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
801 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
802 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
803 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
804 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
805 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
806 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
807 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
808 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
809 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

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

933 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
934 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
935 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
936 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
937 specific python version. Closes: #373853
938 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
939 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
941 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
942 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
943 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
944 the not too-distant future).
945 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.

2645 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2646 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2647 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2648 dh_install, which ...
2649 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2650 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2651 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2652 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2653 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2654 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2655 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2656 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2657 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2658 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2659 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2660 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2661 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2662 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2663 other minor changes.
2664 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2665 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2666 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2667 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2668 course there's -X ..)
2669 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2670 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2671 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2673 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2674 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2675 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2676 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2677 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2724 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2725 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2752 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2754 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2755 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2756 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2757 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2758 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2759 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2760 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2761 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2762 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2763 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2764 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2765 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2766 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2767 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2768 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2769 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2771 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2806 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2807 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2808 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2809 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2810 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2811 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2812 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2813 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2814 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3022 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3023 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3024 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3025 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3026 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3027 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3028 program those options go to. So, for example,
3029 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3030 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3031 something complex. Closes: #89311

3172 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3173 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3174 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3175 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3176 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3177 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3178 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3232 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3234 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3235 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3236 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3237 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3238 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3239 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3240 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3241 but is mildly deprecated.
3242 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3243 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3244 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3245 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3246 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3247 switching to statoverrides..
3248 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3249 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3250 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3251 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3252 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3253 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3255 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3256 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3257 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3258 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3259 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3260 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3261 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3262 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3263 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3265 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3266 variable names, pod man pages).
3267 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3268 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3269 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3270 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3271 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3272 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3273 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3345 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3346 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3348 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

3439 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3440 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3441 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3442 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3444 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3445 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3446 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3448 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3450 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3451 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3452 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3510 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
3511 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3512 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3513 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3514 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3515 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3689 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3690 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3691 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3692 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3693 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3694 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3695 notice until v2 is complete.
3696 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3697 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3698 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3699 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3700 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3701 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3703 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3704 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3705 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3706 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3830 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3831 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3832 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3833 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

3917 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3918 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3919 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3920 bits until all files have been registered.

3932 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3933 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100

4057 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
4058 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4059 I made some changes, though:
4060 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4061 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4062 that is a clear violation of policy.
4063 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4064 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4065 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4066 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4067 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4068 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4069 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4070 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4071 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4073 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4115 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make

4237 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4238 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4239 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4240 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4241 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4242 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4243 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4244 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4245 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4246 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4247 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4248 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4258 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4259 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4260 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4261 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4262 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4263 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5199 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5200 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5201 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5567 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5568 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5569 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5570 past week. Thanks, guys!
5572 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5573 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5574 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5575 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5576 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5577 would do in the same situation.
5578 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5579 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5581 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5583 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5584 permissions changed.
5585 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5586 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5587 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5588 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5589 files are treated identically.
5590 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5603 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5604 use -X multiple times, too.

6005 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6006 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6007 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6008 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6083 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6084 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6085 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6086 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6087 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6148 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6149 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6150 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6151 multiple binary packages.
6152 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6153 should rebuild them with this version.

6174 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6175 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6176 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6177 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6178 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6179 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6180 debian/README.debian.
6181 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6182 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6183 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6184 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6185 in a few situations.)

6221 * Multiple binary package support.
6222 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6223 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6224 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6226 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6227 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6228 auto-installed as parameters.
6229 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6231 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6234 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6235 the package build directory it is to act on.
6236 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6237 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6238 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
