245 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
246 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
247 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
248 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

380 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
381 specific python version. Closes: #373853
382 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
383 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
385 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
386 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
387 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

767 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2055 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
2056 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
2057 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
2058 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
2059 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573
2060 * dh_installdebconf: pass --drop-old-templates to debconf-mergetemplate.
2061 Means debhelper has to depend on debconf-utils 1.1.1.

2087 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2089 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2090 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2091 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2092 dh_install, which ...
2093 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2094 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2095 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2096 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2097 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2098 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2099 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2100 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2101 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2102 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2103 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2104 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2105 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2106 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2107 other minor changes.
2108 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2109 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2110 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2111 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2112 course there's -X ..)
2113 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2114 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2115 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2117 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2118 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2119 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2120 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2121 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2166 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2168 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2169 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2196 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2198 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2199 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2200 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2201 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2202 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2203 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2204 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2205 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2206 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2207 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2208 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2209 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2210 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2211 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2212 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2213 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2215 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2250 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2251 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2252 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2253 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2254 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2255 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2256 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2257 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2258 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2442 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2443 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking

2616 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2617 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2618 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2619 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2620 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2621 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2676 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2678 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2679 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2680 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2681 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2682 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2683 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2684 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2685 but is mildly deprecated.
2686 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2687 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2688 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2689 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2690 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2691 switching to statoverrides..
2692 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2693 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2694 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2695 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2696 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2697 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2699 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2700 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2701 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2702 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2703 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2704 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2705 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2706 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2707 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2709 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2710 variable names, pod man pages).
2711 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2712 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2713 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2714 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2715 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2716 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2717 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2883 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2889 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2890 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3131 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
3133 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3134 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3135 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3136 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3137 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3138 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3139 notice until v2 is complete.
3140 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3141 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3142 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3143 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3144 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3145 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3147 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3148 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3149 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3150 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3271 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3272 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3274 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3275 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3276 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3277 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3278 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

3361 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3362 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3363 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3364 bits until all files have been registered.

3374 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3375 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3376 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3377 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3378 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3379 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3380 otherwise change the result at all.
3382 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3383 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3503 I made some changes, though:
3504 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3505 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3506 that is a clear violation of policy.
3507 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3508 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3509 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3510 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3511 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3512 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3513 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3514 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3515 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3517 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3536 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
3537 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing

3559 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3560 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3561 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3562 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3563 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3564 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

3681 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3682 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3683 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3684 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3685 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3686 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3687 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3688 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3689 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3690 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3691 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3692 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3702 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3703 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3704 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3705 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3706 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3707 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4621 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
4622 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4623 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4624 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4625 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4639 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4640 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4641 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4642 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4643 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4644 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4645 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4646 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4682 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4683 sections of shared libraries.
4684 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4685 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4686 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4687 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4688 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4689 things you don't want them to.

4752 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4753 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4754 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

4828 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4829 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4830 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5017 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5018 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5019 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5020 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5021 would do in the same situation.

5047 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5048 use -X multiple times, too.
5049 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5050 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5527 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5528 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5529 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5530 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5531 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5582 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
5583 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5584 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5585 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.

5590 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5592 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5593 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5594 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5595 multiple binary packages.
5596 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5597 should rebuild them with this version.
5598 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5616 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5618 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5619 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5620 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5621 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5622 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5623 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5624 debian/README.debian.
5625 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5626 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5627 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5628 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5629 in a few situations.)

5660 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5662 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5663 is ready for general use.
5664 * Added man pages for all commands.
5665 * Multiple binary package support.
5666 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5667 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5668 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5670 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5671 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5672 auto-installed as parameters.
5673 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5675 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5678 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5679 the package build directory it is to act on.
5680 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5681 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5682 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
