3 * dh: debian/rules override targets can change what is run
4 for a specific debhelper command in a sequence.

6 * dh: Redid all the examples to use override targets, since these

19 * dh_install(1): Order options alphabetically. Closes:# 503896
20 * Fix some docs that refered to --srcdir rather than --sourcedir.
22 * Add Vcs-Browser field. Closes: #507804
23 * Ignore unknown options in DH_OPTIONS. Debhelper will always ignore
24 such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back
25 to an error. This allows (ab)using DH_OPTIONS to pass command-specific
27 (Note that getopt will warn about such unknown options. Eliminating this
28 warning without reimplementing much of Getopt::Long wasn't practical.)

34 * dh_installchangelogs: Fall back to looking for changelog files ending
35 with ".txt". Closes: #498460
36 * dh_gencontrol: Ensure misc:Depends is set in substvars to avoid dpkg
37 complaining about it when it's empty. Closes: #498666
38 * dh: Fix typo in example. Closes: #500836
39 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
40 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
42 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
43 that uses them. Affected options are:
44 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
45 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
46 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
47 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
48 --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
49 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
50 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
51 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
52 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
53 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
54 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
55 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

191 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
192 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
193 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
194 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
195 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
196 logging by dh_listpackages.

516 - man page handling was supposed to be v6 only and was not
517 - typo in alternatives call
518 - use the basename of the wm to get the man page name
520 * dh_installwm: Also make the code to find the man page more robust and
521 fall back to not registering a man page if it is not found.

547 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
548 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
550 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
551 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
552 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
553 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
554 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
555 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
556 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
557 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
558 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
559 * Do script fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian
560 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

567 package install. Closes: #415717
568 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
569 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
570 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
571 script and then remove the python files.
572 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
573 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
574 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
575 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
576 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
577 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
578 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
579 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
580 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
581 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
582 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
583 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have

700 * Non-maintainer upload.
701 * Update of dh_python
702 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
703 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
704 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
705 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
706 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
707 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
708 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
709 specific python version. Closes: #373853
710 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
711 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
713 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
714 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
715 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
716 the not too-distant future).
717 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
718 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
719 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
720 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

2268 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
2269 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
2270 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new

2417 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2418 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2419 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2420 dh_install, which ...
2421 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2422 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2423 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2424 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2425 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2426 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2427 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2428 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2429 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2430 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2431 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2432 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2433 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2434 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2435 other minor changes.
2436 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2437 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2438 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2439 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2440 course there's -X ..)
2441 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2442 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2443 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2445 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2446 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2447 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2448 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2449 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2493 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2494 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2495 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2496 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2497 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2524 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2526 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2527 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2528 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2529 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2530 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2531 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2532 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2533 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2534 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2535 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2536 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2537 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2538 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2539 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2540 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2541 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2543 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2576 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2578 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2579 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2580 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2581 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2582 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2583 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2584 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2585 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2586 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2767 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented

2798 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting

3010 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3011 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3012 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3013 but is mildly deprecated.
3014 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3015 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3016 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3017 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3018 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3019 switching to statoverrides..
3020 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3021 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3022 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3023 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3024 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3025 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3027 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3028 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3029 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3030 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3031 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3032 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3033 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3034 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3035 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3037 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3038 variable names, pod man pages).
3039 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3040 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3041 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3042 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3043 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3044 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3045 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3118 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3210 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3211 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3212 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3213 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3214 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3216 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3217 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3218 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3220 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3222 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3223 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3224 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3225 should now be raised to severity important..

3461 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3462 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3463 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3464 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3465 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3466 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3467 notice until v2 is complete.
3468 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3469 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3470 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3471 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3472 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3473 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

3599 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3600 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3602 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3603 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3604 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3605 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3606 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3607 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

3687 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3688 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3689 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3690 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3691 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3692 bits until all files have been registered.

3702 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3703 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3704 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3705 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3706 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3707 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3708 otherwise change the result at all.
3710 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3711 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3733 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to

3830 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3831 I made some changes, though:
3832 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3833 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3834 that is a clear violation of policy.
3835 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3836 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3837 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3838 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3839 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3840 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3841 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3842 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3843 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3845 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4015 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4016 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4017 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4018 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4019 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4020 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4026 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4027 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4028 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4030 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4031 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4032 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4033 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4034 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4035 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4037 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4038 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

4728 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that

4971 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4972 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4973 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4974 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5032 * dh_installmanpages: the new perl version had a nasty habit of
5033 installing .so.x library files as man pages. Fixed.

5041 * Debhelper now has a web page at http://kitenet.net/programs/debhelper/

5045 * dh_compress: since version 0.88 or so, dh_compress has bombed out if
5046 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
5047 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
5048 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected
5049 the program to not fail. (#26214)

5076 debhelper (1.1.10) unstable; urgency=low
5078 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5079 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5080 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5081 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5082 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5083 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5085 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5086 remove debian/files properly.
5087 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
5088 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
5089 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
5090 * Removed bogus menu file.

5105 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
5106 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
5107 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

5109 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

5137 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
5138 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5139 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
5140 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
5141 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

5148 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
5149 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
5150 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5151 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5152 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5153 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5154 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5155 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5156 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5157 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5158 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5159 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5160 passed any switches.

5169 at all for a long while.
5170 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
5171 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
5172 large chunks in the process.
5173 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
5174 install many oddly named files it died on before.

5210 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

5340 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5341 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5342 past week. Thanks, guys!
5344 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5345 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5346 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5347 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5348 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5349 would do in the same situation.
5350 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5351 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5353 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5355 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5356 permissions changed.
5357 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5358 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5359 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5360 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5361 files are treated identically.
5362 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5364 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

5375 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5376 use -X multiple times, too.
5377 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

5689 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5690 a given package, or -i or -a.
5691 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5692 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5694 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

5696 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
