23 daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
24 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded
25 while they're running, it's not the default. It might become the default

80 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
81 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
82 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
83 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
84 logging by dh_listpackages.

524 * Tighten python-support and python-central dependencies of debhelper,
525 in an IMHO rather futile attempt to deal with derived distributions.
527 * Correct some incorrect instances of "v4 only" in docs. Closes: #381536
528 * dh_installinfo: Put the section madness to bed by not passing any section
529 information to install-info. Current install-info parses INFO-DIR-SECTION

558 * Revert all dh_python changes. Closes: #381389, #378604
559 * Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4.
560 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
561 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
562 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.
563 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
564 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
565 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
566 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
567 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

575 - when buidling for a non-standard Python version, generate more
576 reasonable Depends like "python (>= X.Y) | pythonX.Y"
578 - fix handling of private extensions. Closes: #375948

586 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
588 * Non-maintainer upload.
589 * Update of dh_python
590 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
591 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
592 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
593 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
594 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
595 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
596 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
597 specific python version. Closes: #373853
598 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
599 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
601 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
602 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
603 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
604 the not too-distant future).
605 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
606 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
607 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
608 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
609 thus made the build fail.

622 * dh_installmodules: depmod -a is no longer run during boot, so if a module
623 package is installed for a kernel other than the running kernel, just
624 running depmod -a in the postinst is no longer sufficient. Instead, run
625 depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-<kvers> <kvers>

642 the new form of architecture wildcarding which allows use of things
643 like "linux-any" and "any-i386" in the Architecture field. Closes: #371082

690 new version (0.24.1).
691 * Change build-depends for po4a. New version (0.24.1).
692 * Add code for removing empty "lang" directories into man/ when cleaning.
695 * dh_installxfonts: pass --x11r7-layout to update-fonts-* commands to ensure
696 they use the right new directory. Closes: #362820
697 * dh_installxfonts: also, alias files have moved from /etc/X11/fonts/* to
698 /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/*, update call to update-fonts-alias and the man page
699 accordingly; packages containing alias files will need to switch to the

711 the binary-arch target needs to use -s and do nothing when run on some

824 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
825 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
826 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
827 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are

2305 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2306 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2307 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2308 dh_install, which ...
2309 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2310 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2311 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2312 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2313 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2314 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2315 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2316 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2317 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2318 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2319 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2320 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2321 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2322 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2323 other minor changes.
2324 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2325 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2326 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2327 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2328 course there's -X ..)
2329 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2330 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2331 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2333 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2334 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2335 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2336 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2337 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2382 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2384 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2385 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2412 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2414 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2415 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2416 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2417 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2418 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2419 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2420 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2421 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2422 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2423 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2424 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2425 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2426 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2427 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2428 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2429 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2431 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2448 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2449 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2450 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2451 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2452 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2466 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2467 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2468 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2469 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2470 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2471 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2472 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2473 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2474 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2650 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2651 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2652 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2653 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2654 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2655 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2656 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2657 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2658 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2659 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2660 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2662 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2684 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2685 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2686 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2687 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2688 program those options go to. So, for example,
2689 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2690 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2832 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2833 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2834 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2835 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2836 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2837 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2838 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2894 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2895 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2896 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2897 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2898 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2899 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2900 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2901 but is mildly deprecated.
2902 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2903 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2904 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2905 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2906 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2907 switching to statoverrides..
2908 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2909 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2910 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2911 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2912 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2913 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2915 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2916 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2917 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2918 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2919 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2920 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2921 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2922 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2923 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2925 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2926 variable names, pod man pages).
2927 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2928 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2929 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2930 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2931 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2932 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2933 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3096 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3097 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3098 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3099 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3100 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3101 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3102 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3104 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3105 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3106 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3108 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3110 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3111 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3112 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3113 should now be raised to severity important..
3114 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3115 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3156 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3157 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3349 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3350 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3351 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3352 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3353 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3354 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3355 notice until v2 is complete.
3356 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3357 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3358 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3359 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3360 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3361 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3363 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3574 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3575 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3576 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3577 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3578 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3579 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3580 bits until all files have been registered.

3589 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3590 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3591 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3592 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3593 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3594 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3595 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3596 otherwise change the result at all.
3598 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3599 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3619 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3621 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3622 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3623 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3624 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3718 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3719 I made some changes, though:
3720 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3721 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3722 that is a clear violation of policy.
3723 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3724 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3725 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3726 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3727 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3728 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3729 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3730 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3731 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3733 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3777 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3778 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3779 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3897 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3898 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3899 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3900 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3901 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3902 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3903 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3904 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3905 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3906 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3907 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3908 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3918 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3922 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3923 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4152 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4153 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

4246 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4247 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4859 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4860 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4861 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5035 * dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
5036 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
5037 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
5038 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5039 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5040 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5041 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5042 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5043 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5044 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5045 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5046 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5047 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5048 passed any switches.

5229 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5230 past week. Thanks, guys!
5232 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5233 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5234 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5235 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5236 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5237 would do in the same situation.
5238 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5239 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5241 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5243 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5244 permissions changed.
5245 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5246 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5247 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5248 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5249 files are treated identically.
5250 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5263 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5264 use -X multiple times, too.
5265 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

5575 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5576 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5577 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5578 a given package, or -i or -a.
5579 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5580 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5581 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5582 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5583 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5584 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5586 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5665 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5666 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
