5 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a

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

51 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

105 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
106 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
107 I made some changes, though:
108 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
109 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
110 that is a clear violation of policy.
111 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
112 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
113 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
114 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
115 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
116 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
117 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
118 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
119 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
121 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

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

1053 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
1054 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
1055 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
1056 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
1057 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
1058 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
1059 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
1060 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

1245 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
1246 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
1247 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
1248 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
1249 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
1250 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

1615 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
1616 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
1617 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
1618 past week. Thanks, guys!
1620 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
1621 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
1622 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
1623 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
1624 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
1625 would do in the same situation.
1626 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
1627 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
1629 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
1631 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
1632 permissions changed.
1633 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
1634 some people enjoy changing root's name.
1635 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
1636 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
1637 files are treated identically.
1638 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
1639 * Minor man page fixes.
1640 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

1651 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
1652 use -X multiple times, too.
1653 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
1654 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

2016 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
2017 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
2018 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
2019 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
2020 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

2028 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
2029 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
2030 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.

2050 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
2051 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
2052 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
2053 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
2054 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
2055 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
2056 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

2132 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
2133 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
2134 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
2135 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

2199 multiple binary packages.

2225 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
2226 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
2227 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
2228 debian/README.debian.
2229 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
2230 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
2231 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
2232 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
2233 in a few situations.)

2272 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
2274 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
2275 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
2276 auto-installed as parameters.
2277 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
2279 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
2282 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
2283 the package build directory it is to act on.
2284 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
2285 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
2286 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
