3 * Man page typo. Closes: #545443
4 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
5 (It was only run once due to logging.)
6 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
7 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
8 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
9 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
10 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
11 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
12 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293

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

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

281 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
282 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
283 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
284 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
285 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
286 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
287 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

1030 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1031 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1032 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
1033 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
1034 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
1035 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
1036 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
1037 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
1038 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
1039 * Do script fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian
1040 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

1047 package install. Closes: #415717
1048 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
1049 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1050 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1051 script and then remove the python files.
1052 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1053 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1054 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1055 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1056 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1057 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1058 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1059 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1060 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1061 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1194 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1195 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2897 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2898 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2899 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2900 dh_install, which ...
2901 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2902 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2903 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2904 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2905 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2906 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2907 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2908 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2909 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2910 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2911 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2912 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2913 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2914 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2915 other minor changes.
2916 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2917 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2918 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2919 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2920 course there's -X ..)
2921 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2922 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2923 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2925 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2926 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2927 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2928 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2929 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2973 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2974 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2975 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2976 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2977 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3004 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3006 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3007 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
3008 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3009 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3010 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3011 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3012 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3013 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3014 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3015 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3016 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3017 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3018 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3019 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3020 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi

3058 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3059 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3060 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3061 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3062 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3063 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3064 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3065 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3066 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3245 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3246 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3247 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3248 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3249 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3250 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3251 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3252 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3277 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3278 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3279 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3280 program those options go to. So, for example,
3281 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3282 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3426 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3427 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3428 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3429 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3486 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3487 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3488 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3489 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3490 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

3501 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3502 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3503 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3504 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3505 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3507 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3508 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3509 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3510 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3511 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3512 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3513 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3514 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3515 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3517 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3518 variable names, pod man pages).
3519 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3520 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3521 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3522 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3523 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3524 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3525 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3690 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3691 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3692 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3693 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3694 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3696 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3697 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3698 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3700 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

3703 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3704 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3941 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3942 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3943 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3944 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3945 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3946 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3947 notice until v2 is complete.
3948 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3949 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3950 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3951 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3952 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3953 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

4078 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
4079 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4080 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4082 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4083 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4084 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4085 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4086 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4087 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

4168 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4169 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4170 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4171 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4172 bits until all files have been registered.

4182 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4183 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4184 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4185 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4186 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4187 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4188 otherwise change the result at all.
4190 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4191 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4213 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4214 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4215 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without

4310 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4311 I made some changes, though:
4312 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4313 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4314 that is a clear violation of policy.
4315 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4316 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4317 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4318 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4319 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4320 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4321 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4322 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4323 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4325 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4369 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4370 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4371 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4493 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4494 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4495 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4496 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4497 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4498 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4499 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4500 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4510 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4511 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4512 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4513 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4514 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4515 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5238 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

5242 suidregister actually supports it.

5451 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5452 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5453 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5558 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5559 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5560 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5561 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5562 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5563 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5565 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5566 remove debian/files properly.
5567 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

5569 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

5636 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5637 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5638 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5821 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5822 past week. Thanks, guys!
5824 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5825 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5826 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5827 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5828 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5829 would do in the same situation.
5830 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5831 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5833 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5835 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5836 permissions changed.

5838 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5839 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5840 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5841 files are treated identically.

6131 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
6132 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
6133 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6134 are supported. (#16935)

6152 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6153 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

6162 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6163 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

6167 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6168 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6169 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6170 a given package, or -i or -a.
6171 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6172 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6173 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6174 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6175 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6176 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6177 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6178 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6179 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a

6182 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

6205 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
6206 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

6233 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

6254 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6255 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6256 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6257 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6258 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6259 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
