3 * dh_installudev: Don't fail if the link already somehow exists on initial
4 package install. Closes: #415717
5 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
6 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
7 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
8 script and then remove the python files.
9 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
10 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
11 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
12 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
13 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
14 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
15 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
16 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
17 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
18 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
19 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite exsiting man pages. Closes: #288250

135 * Non-maintainer upload.
136 * Update of dh_python
137 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
138 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
139 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
140 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
141 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
142 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
143 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
144 specific python version. Closes: #373853
145 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
146 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
148 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
149 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
150 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
151 the not too-distant future).
152 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
153 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
154 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
155 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

1852 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1853 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1854 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1855 dh_install, which ...
1856 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1857 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1858 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1859 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1860 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1861 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1862 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1863 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1864 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1865 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1866 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1867 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1868 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1869 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1870 other minor changes.
1871 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1872 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1873 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1874 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1875 course there's -X ..)
1876 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1877 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1878 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1880 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1881 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1882 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1883 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1884 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1929 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1930 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1931 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1932 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1959 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1961 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1962 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1963 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1964 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1965 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1966 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1967 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1968 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1969 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1970 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1971 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1972 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1973 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1974 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1975 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1976 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1978 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1996 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1997 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1998 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

2013 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2014 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2015 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2016 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2017 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2018 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2019 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2020 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2021 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2197 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

2199 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2200 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2201 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2202 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2203 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2204 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2205 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2206 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2207 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2209 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2231 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2232 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2233 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2234 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2235 program those options go to. So, for example,
2236 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2237 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2379 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2380 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2381 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2382 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2383 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2384 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2439 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2441 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2442 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2443 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2444 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2445 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2446 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2447 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2448 but is mildly deprecated.
2449 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2450 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2451 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2452 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2453 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2454 switching to statoverrides..
2455 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2456 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2457 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2458 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2459 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2460 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2462 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2463 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2464 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2465 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2466 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2467 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2468 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2469 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2470 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2472 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2473 variable names, pod man pages).
2474 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2475 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2476 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2477 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2478 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2479 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2480 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2550 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2551 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2552 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2553 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2554 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2555 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2556 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2557 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that

2645 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2646 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2647 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2648 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2649 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2651 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2652 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2653 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2655 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2657 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2658 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2659 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2660 should now be raised to severity important..
2661 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2662 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2896 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2897 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2898 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2899 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2900 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2901 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2902 notice until v2 is complete.
2903 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2904 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2905 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2906 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2907 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2908 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2910 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3042 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

3121 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3122 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3123 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3124 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3125 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3126 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3127 bits until all files have been registered.

3136 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3137 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3138 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3139 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3140 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3141 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3142 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3143 otherwise change the result at all.
3145 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3146 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3147 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3165 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3166 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3168 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3169 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3170 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3171 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3265 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3266 I made some changes, though:
3267 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3268 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3269 that is a clear violation of policy.
3270 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3271 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3272 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3273 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3274 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3275 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3276 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3277 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3278 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3280 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3322 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3323 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3324 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3325 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3326 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3444 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3445 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.

3447 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3448 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3449 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3450 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3451 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3452 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3453 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3454 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3455 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3572 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,

3793 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3794 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4406 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new

4408 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4543 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
4544 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

4573 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4574 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4585 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4586 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4587 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4588 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4589 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4590 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4591 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4592 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4593 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4776 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4777 past week. Thanks, guys!
4779 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4780 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4781 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4782 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4783 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4784 would do in the same situation.
4785 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4786 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4788 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4790 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4791 permissions changed.
4792 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4793 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4794 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4795 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4796 files are treated identically.
4797 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4810 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4811 use -X multiple times, too.

5035 debhelper (0.59) unstable; urgency=low
5037 * Added DH_NO_ACT and --no-act, which make debhelper commands run without
5038 actually doing anything. (Combine with -v to see what the command would
5039 have done.) (#17598)

5055 debhelper (0.56) unstable; urgency=low
5057 * dh_compress: Applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@a2points.com>,
5058 to make it not abort of one of the find's fails.

5062 debhelper (0.55) unstable; urgency=low
5064 * dh_clean: delete substvarsfiles probperly again (broken in 0.53). #17077
5065 * Added call to dh_movefiles, and a commented out call to dh_testversion,
5066 to some of the sample rules files. #17076

5070 debhelper (0.54) unstable; urgency=low
5072 * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own
5073 argument processor in perl.
5074 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
5075 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,
5076 dh_installinit -u"defaults 10")
5077 * Now depends on perl (needs Getopt::Long).

5083 * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp
5084 type directories. (#16933)
5085 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
5086 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
5087 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
5088 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5089 are supported. (#16935)
5090 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

5095 debhelper (0.52) unstable; urgency=low
5097 * dh_compress: compress file belongs in debian/. It was looking in ./
5098 This has been broken since version 0.30.

5102 debhelper (0.51) unstable; urgency=low
5104 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
5106 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
5107 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5108 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
5109 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
5110 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
5111 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.
5113 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 5 Jan 1998 16:15:01 -0500
5115 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
5117 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5118 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
5119 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
5121 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
5122 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5123 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5124 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5125 a given package, or -i or -a.
5126 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5127 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5128 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5129 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5130 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5131 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5132 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5133 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5134 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
5136 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
5137 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
5138 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

5144 * dh_du: Fixed hardcoded debian/tmp.

5146 slowdown caused by using dpkg-parsechangelog - now it's only called by

5153 * dh_undocumented: exit with an error message if the man page specified
5154 does not have a section.

5158 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low
5160 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
5161 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
5162 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
5163 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

5173 debhelper (0.33) unstable; urgency=low
5175 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
5176 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
5177 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
5178 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
5179 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789
5180 * examples/*: use dh_clean -k in the binary targets of all rules files,

5185 debhelper (0.32) unstable; urgency=low
5187 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
5188 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
5189 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
5190 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

5201 debhelper (0.30) unstable; urgency=low
5203 * dh_md5sumes, dh_installdirs, dh_compress: fixed assorted cd bugs.

5207 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
5209 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5210 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5211 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5212 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5213 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5214 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5215 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5234 * dh_installdirs: Do not create usr/doc/$PACKAGE directory. Bug #15498
5235 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
5236 the dh_* programs (#15497).
5237 * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

5257 of fileutils, install -p will not work (#14680)

5263 * dh_installdocs: Install README.debian as README.Debian (of course,
5264 README.Debian is installed with the same name..)

5268 debhelper (0.21) unstable; urgency=low
5270 * dh_installinit: on removal, fixed how update-rc.d is called.

5274 debhelper (0.20) unstable; urgency=low

5287 debhelper (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
5289 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
5290 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5291 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5292 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5293 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5294 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5298 debhelper (0.17) unstable; urgency=low
5300 * Added dh_installdirs, automatically creates subdirectories (for
5301 compatability with debstd's debian/dirs file.

5336 debhelper (0.12) unstable; urgency=low
5338 * Fixed mispelling of dh_md5sums in examples rules files and README.
5339 (#13990) Thanks, Adrian.

5343 debhelper (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
5345 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
5346 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5347 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5348 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5349 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5353 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5355 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5356 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5357 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5358 multiple binary packages.
5359 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5360 should rebuild them with this version.
5361 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5379 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5381 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5382 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5383 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5384 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5385 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5386 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5387 debian/README.debian.
5388 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5389 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5390 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5391 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5392 in a few situations.)

5418 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.

5423 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5425 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5426 is ready for general use.
5427 * Added man pages for all commands.
5428 * Multiple binary package support.
5429 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5430 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5431 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5433 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5434 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5435 auto-installed as parameters.
5436 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5438 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5441 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5442 the package build directory it is to act on.
5443 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5444 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5445 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
