5 * Record debhelper commands that successfully finish in a per-package log
7 * dh_auto_configure: New program, automates running ./configure,
8 Makefile.PL, and python distutils. Calls them with exactly the same
9 options as cdbs does by default, and allows adding/overriding options.
10 * dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
11 running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
12 planned but not yet implemented.)
13 * dh_auto_test: New program, automates running make test or make check
14 if the Makefile has such a target.
15 * dh_auto_clean: New program, automates running make clean (or distclean,
16 or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.

307 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
308 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
310 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
311 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
312 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614

329 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
330 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init

332 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
333 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
334 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
335 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
336 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
337 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
338 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
339 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
340 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
341 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

462 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
463 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

465 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
466 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
467 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
468 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
469 specific python version. Closes: #373853
470 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
471 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
473 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
474 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
475 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
476 the not too-distant future).

2177 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2178 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2179 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2180 dh_install, which ...
2181 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2182 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2183 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2184 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2185 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2186 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2187 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2188 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2189 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2190 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2191 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2192 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2193 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2194 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2195 other minor changes.
2196 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2197 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2198 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2199 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2200 course there's -X ..)
2201 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2202 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2203 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2205 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2206 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2207 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2208 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2209 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2253 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2254 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2255 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2256 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2257 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2284 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2286 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2287 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2288 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2289 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2290 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2291 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2292 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2293 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2294 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2295 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2296 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2297 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2298 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2299 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2300 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2301 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2303 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2320 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2321 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2322 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2323 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2324 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2338 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2339 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2340 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2341 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2342 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2343 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2344 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2345 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2346 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2526 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2527 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2528 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2529 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2530 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2531 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2532 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2533 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2534 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2554 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2555 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2556 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2557 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2558 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2559 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2560 program those options go to. So, for example,
2561 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2562 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2706 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2707 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2708 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2709 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2766 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2767 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2768 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2769 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2770 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2772 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2773 but is mildly deprecated.
2774 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2775 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2776 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2777 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2778 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2779 switching to statoverrides..
2780 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2781 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2782 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2783 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2784 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2785 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2787 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2788 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2789 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2790 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2791 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2792 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2793 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2794 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2795 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2797 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2798 variable names, pod man pages).
2799 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2800 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2801 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2802 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2803 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2804 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2805 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2971 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2974 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2976 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2977 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2978 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3027 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3028 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3029 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3030 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3043 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on

3046 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

3221 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3222 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3223 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3224 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3225 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3226 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3227 notice until v2 is complete.
3228 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3229 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3230 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3231 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3232 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3233 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3235 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3236 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3237 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3238 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3362 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

3449 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3450 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3451 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3452 bits until all files have been registered.

3464 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3532 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
3533 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
3534 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
3535 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
3536 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
3537 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
3538 does not compress. Closes: #41733

3590 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3591 I made some changes, though:
3592 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3593 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3594 that is a clear violation of policy.
3595 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3596 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3597 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3598 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3599 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3600 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3601 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3602 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3603 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3605 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3769 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3770 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3771 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3772 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3773 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3774 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3775 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3776 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3777 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3778 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3779 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3780 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3790 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3792 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3793 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3794 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3795 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

4102 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will

4119 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4540 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4541 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4542 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
4543 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
4544 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4572 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages

4574 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any

4729 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4730 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4731 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4732 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4733 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4734 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5099 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5100 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5101 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5102 past week. Thanks, guys!
5104 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5105 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5106 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5107 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5108 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5109 would do in the same situation.
5110 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5111 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5113 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5115 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5116 permissions changed.
5117 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5118 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5119 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5120 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5121 files are treated identically.
5122 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5123 * Minor man page fixes.
5124 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

5135 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5136 use -X multiple times, too.
5137 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5138 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5534 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5535 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5536 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5537 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5538 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5539 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5540 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5616 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5617 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5618 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5619 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5683 multiple binary packages.

5706 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5707 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5708 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5709 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5710 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5711 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5712 debian/README.debian.
5713 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5714 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5715 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5716 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5717 in a few situations.)

5758 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright

5763 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5766 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5767 the package build directory it is to act on.
5768 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5769 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5770 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
