80 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
81 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
82 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
83 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
84 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1406 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1407 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1408 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1409 dh_install, which ...
1410 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1411 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1412 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1413 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1414 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1415 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1416 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1417 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1418 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1419 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1420 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1421 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1422 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1423 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1424 other minor changes.
1425 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1426 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1427 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1428 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1429 course there's -X ..)
1430 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1431 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1432 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1434 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1435 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1436 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1437 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

1513 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1515 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1516 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1517 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1518 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1519 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1520 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1521 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1522 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1523 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1524 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1525 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1526 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1527 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1528 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1529 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1530 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1532 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1550 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1551 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1552 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
1553 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
1554 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

1565 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1567 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1568 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1569 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1570 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1571 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1572 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1573 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1574 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1575 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1753 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1754 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1755 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1756 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1757 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1758 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1759 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1760 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1761 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1786 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1787 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1788 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1789 program those options go to. So, for example,
1790 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1791 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1935 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1936 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1937 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1938 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1996 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1997 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1998 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1999 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2002 but is mildly deprecated.
2003 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2004 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop

2010 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2011 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2012 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2013 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2014 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2016 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2017 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2018 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2019 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2020 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2021 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2022 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)

2030 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2031 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2032 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2033 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2034 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2104 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2105 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2106 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2107 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2108 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2109 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2110 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2111 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
2112 it is an obsolete program.

2200 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2201 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2202 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2203 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2205 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2206 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2207 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2209 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2211 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2212 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2213 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2214 should now be raised to severity important..
2215 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2216 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2450 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2451 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2452 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2453 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2454 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2455 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2456 notice until v2 is complete.
2457 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2458 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2459 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2460 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2461 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2462 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2464 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

2587 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
2588 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2589 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2591 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2592 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2593 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2594 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
2595 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
2596 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

2677 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2678 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2679 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2680 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2681 bits until all files have been registered.

2692 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2693 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

2695 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2696 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

2699 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2700 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2819 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2820 I made some changes, though:
2821 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2822 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2823 that is a clear violation of policy.
2824 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2825 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2826 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2827 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2828 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2829 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2830 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2831 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2832 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2834 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2878 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2879 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2880 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3002 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3003 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3004 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3005 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3006 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3007 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3008 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

3078 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
3079 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
3080 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
3081 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
3082 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
3083 it's always available.

3090 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from

3125 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
3126 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
3127 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this
3128 ever happenning, but it pays to be safe.

3183 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3347 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3348 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3751 suidregister actually supports it.

3960 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3961 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3962 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4067 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4068 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4069 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4070 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4071 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4072 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4074 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4075 remove debian/files properly.
4076 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4077 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4078 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
4079 * Removed bogus menu file.

4095 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
4096 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
4097 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
4098 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

4126 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
4127 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4128 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
4129 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
4130 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

4139 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4140 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4141 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4142 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4143 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4144 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4145 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4146 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4147 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4149 passed any switches.

4160 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
4161 large chunks in the process.
4162 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4163 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4199 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

4330 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4331 past week. Thanks, guys!
4333 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4334 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4335 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4336 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4337 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4338 would do in the same situation.
4339 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4340 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4342 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4344 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4345 permissions changed.
4346 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4347 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4348 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4349 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4350 files are treated identically.
4351 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4364 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4365 use -X multiple times, too.

4640 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

4642 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
4643 are supported. (#16935)

4661 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4662 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

4671 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4672 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

4676 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4677 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4678 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4679 a given package, or -i or -a.
4680 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4681 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4682 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4683 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4684 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4685 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4686 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4687 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4715 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

4764 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4765 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4766 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4767 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
