761 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained

763 dh_install, which ...
764 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
765 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
766 mess, as it uses debian/install.
767 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
768 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
769 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
770 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
771 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
772 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
773 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
774 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
775 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
776 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
777 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
779 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
780 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
781 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
782 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of

784 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
785 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

788 * use v4 for building debhelper itself

867 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
869 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
870 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
871 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
872 line, as well as in debian/rules.
873 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
874 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
875 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
876 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
877 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
878 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
879 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
880 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
881 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
882 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
883 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
884 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
886 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

921 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
922 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
923 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
924 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
925 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
926 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
927 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
928 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

1105 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1106 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1107 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1108 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1109 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1110 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1111 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1112 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1113 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1114 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1115 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1116 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1117 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1137 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1138 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1139 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1140 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1141 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1142 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1143 program those options go to. So, for example,
1144 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1145 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
1146 something complex. Closes: #89311

1286 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1287 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1288 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1289 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1290 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1291 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1292 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1293 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

1347 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1349 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1350 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1351 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1352 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1353 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1354 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1355 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1356 but is mildly deprecated.
1357 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1358 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1359 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1360 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1361 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1362 switching to statoverrides..
1363 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1364 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1365 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1366 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1367 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1368 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1370 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1371 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1372 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1373 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1374 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1375 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1376 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1377 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1378 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1380 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1381 variable names, pod man pages).
1382 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1383 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1384 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1385 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1386 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1387 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1388 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1460 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1461 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1542 after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
1543 itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
1544 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
1545 backwards-compatability.

1551 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
1552 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
1553 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
1554 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
1555 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
1556 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1557 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1559 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1560 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1561 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
1563 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
1565 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
1566 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1567 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
1568 should now be raised to severity important..
1569 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
1570 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

1610 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
1611 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
1612 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
1613 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

1629 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

1804 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1805 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1806 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1807 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1808 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1809 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1810 notice until v2 is complete.
1811 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1812 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1813 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1814 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1815 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1816 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1818 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
1819 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
1820 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2033 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

2051 otherwise change the result at all.
2053 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2054 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2055 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
2056 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..
2057 * This changelog was automatically generated from CVS commit information.
2060 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 28 Nov 1999 21:59:00 -0800
2062 debhelper (2.0.75) unstable; urgency=low
2064 * Fixed typo in dh_installmenu.1, Closes: #51332

2068 debhelper (2.0.74) unstable; urgency=low
2070 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
2071 act on files that don't exist.
2072 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
2073 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2074 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2076 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2077 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2078 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2079 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2085 * Actually, debhelper build-depends on perl-5.005.

2089 debhelper (2.0.72) unstable; urgency=low
2091 * Corrected slash substitution problem in dh_installwm.

2095 debhelper (2.0.71) unstable; urgency=low
2097 * Oh, the build dependancies include all of debhelper's regular
2098 dependancies as well, since it builds using itself.
2100 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 5 Nov 1999 14:14:26 -0800
2102 debhelper (2.0.70) unstable; urgency=low
2104 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
2105 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
2107 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
2108 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
2109 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

2113 debhelper (2.0.69) unstable; urgency=low
2115 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
2116 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
2117 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
2118 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
2119 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
2120 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
2121 does not compress. Closes: #41733
2122 * Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case
2124 * dh_movefiles: force owner and group of installed files to be root.
2126 * Closes: #42650, #47175 -- they've been fixed forever.

2152 any extra parameters you want to pass to dpkg-deb (Closes: #48394)

2164 * Removed install-stamp cruft in all example rules files. Closes: #47175

2168 debhelper (2.0.62) unstable; urgency=low
2170 * Fixed problem with dh_installemacsen options not working, patch from
2171 Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@icp.inpg.fr>, Closes: #47738
2172 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
2173 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2174 I made some changes, though:
2175 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2176 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2177 that is a clear violation of policy.
2178 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2179 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2180 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2181 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2182 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2183 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2184 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2185 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2186 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2188 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2198 debhelper (2.0.60) unstable; urgency=low
2200 * dh_compress: After compressing an executable, changes the file mode to
2201 644. Executable .gz files are silly. Closes: #46383

2205 debhelper (2.0.59) unstable; urgency=low
2207 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
2208 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
2209 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

2227 debhelper (2.0.56) unstable; urgency=low
2229 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
2230 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2231 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2232 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2233 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2234 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
2235 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
2236 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

2250 * Broke all debconf support off into a dh_installdebconf script. This
2251 seems conceptually a little cleaner.

2264 don't do anything, rather than crashing.

2270 * dh_installdocs: create the compatability symlink before calling
2271 install-docs. I'm told this is better in some cases. (Closes: #45608)
2272 * examples/rules.multi2: clarified what you have to comment/uncomment.

2295 for the dependancies to be generated.

2349 debhelper (2.0.40) unstable; urgency=low
2351 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
2352 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2353 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2354 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2355 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2356 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2357 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2358 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2359 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2360 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2361 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2362 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2363 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2367 debhelper (2.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2369 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2370 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2371 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2373 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2374 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2375 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2376 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2377 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2378 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
2380 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
2381 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

2434 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
2435 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
2436 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so

2573 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
2574 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
2575 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

2684 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
2685 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
2686 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

2701 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
2702 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

2856 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

3099 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
3100 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
3101 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
3102 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

3105 suidregister actually supports it.

3314 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3315 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3316 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

3546 * New unstable branch of debhelper.
3548 * TODO: list all current bugs, in order I plan to tackle them.
3549 * Added debhelper.1 man page, which groups all the debhelper options that
3550 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
3551 updating 27 man pages.
3552 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
3553 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
3554 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.
3555 * dh_*: -N option now excludes a package from the list of packages the
3556 programs act on. (#25247)

3565 stable-updates because I want it to be available as an upgrade for
3566 people using debian 2.0 (the current version in debian 2.0 has no
3567 critical bugs, but this version is of course a lot nicer), and I plan
3568 to start work on a new branch of debhelper that will fix many wishlist

3680 debhelper (0.90) unstable; urgency=low
3682 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
3683 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
3684 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3685 past week. Thanks, guys!
3687 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3688 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3689 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3690 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3691 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3692 would do in the same situation.
3693 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3694 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3696 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3698 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3699 permissions changed.
3700 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3701 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3702 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3703 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3704 files are treated identically.
3705 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
3706 * Minor man page fixes.
3707 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
3708 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
3709 --no-act is on. (#23054)

3716 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
3717 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
3718 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3719 use -X multiple times, too.
3720 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
3721 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

3745 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
3746 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
3747 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

3749 shape if you're starting a new package.

3778 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
3779 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
3780 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
3781 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package

4040 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4041 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
4042 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
4044 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
4045 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
4046 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

4068 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
4069 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
4070 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
4071 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

4117 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4118 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4119 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4120 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4121 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4122 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4123 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4199 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4200 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4201 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4202 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4266 multiple binary packages.

4291 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4292 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4293 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4294 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4295 debian/README.debian.
4296 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4297 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4298 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4299 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4300 in a few situations.)

4346 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4349 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4350 the package build directory it is to act on.
4351 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4352 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4353 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
