24 * dh_icons: New program to update Freedesktop icon caches. Thanks
25 to Josselin Mouette, Ross Burton, Jordi Mallach, and Loïc Minier.
27 * Note that as a transitional measure, dh_icons will currently only update
28 existing caches, and not create and new caches. Once everything is
29 updating the icon caches, this will be changed. See #329460 for the full
31 * Remove possibly confusing (though strictly accurate) sentence from

52 - man page handling was supposed to be v6 only and was not
53 - typo in alternatives call

83 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
84 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
86 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
87 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
88 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
89 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
90 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
91 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
92 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
93 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
94 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
95 * Do script fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian
96 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

102 * dh_installudev: Don't fail if the link already somehow exists on initial
103 package install. Closes: #415717
104 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
105 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
106 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
107 script and then remove the python files.
108 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
109 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
110 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
111 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
112 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
113 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
114 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
115 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
116 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
117 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
118 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
119 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have
120 /etc/network/if-up.d, etc files. Closes: #217552

140 * dh_installdocs: In v5 mode, now ignore empty files even if they're hidden
141 away inside a subdirectory. The code missed this before. See #200905
142 * dh_installudev: Support debian/udev files. Closes: #381854
143 * dh_installudev: Treat --priority value as a string so that leading zeros
144 can be used (also so that a leading "z" that is not "z60" can be
145 specified). Closes: #381851

172 * Tighten python-support and python-central dependencies of debhelper,
173 in an IMHO rather futile attempt to deal with derived distributions.
175 * Correct some incorrect instances of "v4 only" in docs. Closes: #381536
176 * dh_installinfo: Put the section madness to bed by not passing any section
177 information to install-info. Current install-info parses INFO-DIR-SECTION

207 * Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4.
208 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
209 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
210 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.
211 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
212 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
213 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
214 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
215 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

234 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
236 * Non-maintainer upload.
237 * Update of dh_python
238 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
239 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
240 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
241 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
242 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
243 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
244 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
245 specific python version. Closes: #373853
246 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
247 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
249 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
250 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
251 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
252 the not too-distant future).
253 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
254 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
255 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
256 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
257 thus made the build fail.

631 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1953 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1954 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1955 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1956 dh_install, which ...
1957 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1958 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1959 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1960 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1961 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1962 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1963 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1964 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1965 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1966 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1967 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1968 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1969 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1970 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1971 other minor changes.
1972 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1973 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1974 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1975 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1976 course there's -X ..)
1977 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1978 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1979 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1981 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1982 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1983 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1984 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

2060 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2062 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2063 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2064 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2065 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2066 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2067 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2068 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2069 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2070 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2071 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2072 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2073 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2074 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2075 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2076 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2077 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2079 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2112 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2114 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2115 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2116 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2117 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2118 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2119 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2120 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2121 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2122 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2302 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2303 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2304 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2305 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2306 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2307 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2308 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2333 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2334 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2335 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2336 program those options go to. So, for example,
2337 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2338 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2542 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2543 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2544 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2545 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2546 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2547 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2548 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2549 but is mildly deprecated.
2550 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2551 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2552 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2553 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2554 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2555 switching to statoverrides..
2556 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2557 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2558 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2559 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2560 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2561 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2563 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2564 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2565 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2566 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2567 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2568 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2569 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2570 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2571 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2573 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2574 variable names, pod man pages).
2575 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2576 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2577 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2578 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2579 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2580 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2581 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2650 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
2651 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2652 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2653 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2654 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2655 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2656 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2657 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2658 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
2659 it is an obsolete program.

2747 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2748 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2749 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2750 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2752 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2753 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2754 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2756 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2758 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2759 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2760 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2761 should now be raised to severity important..
2762 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2763 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2804 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2805 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2997 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2998 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2999 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3000 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3001 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3002 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3003 notice until v2 is complete.
3004 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3005 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3006 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3007 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3008 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3009 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3011 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3135 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3136 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3138 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3139 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3140 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3141 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3142 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

3223 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3224 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3225 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3226 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3227 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3228 bits until all files have been registered.

3238 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3239 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3240 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3241 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3242 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3243 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3244 otherwise change the result at all.
3246 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3247 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3248 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3267 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3269 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3270 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3271 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without

3366 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3367 I made some changes, though:
3368 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3369 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3370 that is a clear violation of policy.
3371 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3372 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3373 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3374 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3375 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3376 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3377 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3378 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3379 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3381 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3425 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287

3549 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3550 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3551 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3552 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3553 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3554 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3555 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3556 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3562 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3563 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3564 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3566 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3567 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3568 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3569 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3570 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3571 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3573 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3574 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

3628 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
3629 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so

4264 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4265 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

4294 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4295 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

4298 suidregister actually supports it.

4507 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4508 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4509 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4510 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4552 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4553 things you don't want them to.
4554 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4555 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4614 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4615 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4616 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4617 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4618 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

4877 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4878 past week. Thanks, guys!
4880 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4881 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4882 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4883 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4884 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4885 would do in the same situation.

4887 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

4891 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4892 permissions changed.

4894 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4895 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4896 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4897 files are treated identically.

5224 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5225 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5226 a given package, or -i or -a.
5227 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5228 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5229 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5230 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

5232 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5234 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5542 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5543 the package build directory it is to act on.
5544 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5545 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5546 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
