3 * Convert the "I have no packages to build" error into a warning. Am I
4 really the first person to run into the case of a source package that
5 builds an arch all package and an single-arch package? In this case,
6 the binary-arch target needs to use -s and do nothing when run on some
7 other arch, and debhelper will now support this.

120 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
121 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
122 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
123 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
124 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

156 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting

278 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1569 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
1570 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573
1571 * dh_installdebconf: pass --drop-old-templates to debconf-mergetemplate.
1572 Means debhelper has to depend on debconf-utils 1.1.1.

1600 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1601 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1602 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1603 dh_install, which ...
1604 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1605 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1606 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1607 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1608 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1609 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1610 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1611 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1612 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1613 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1614 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1615 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1616 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1617 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1618 other minor changes.
1619 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1620 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1621 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1622 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1623 course there's -X ..)
1624 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1625 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1626 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1628 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1629 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1630 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1631 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1632 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1679 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1680 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1707 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1709 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1710 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1711 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1712 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1713 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1714 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1715 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1716 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1717 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1718 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1719 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1720 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1721 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1722 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1723 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1724 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1726 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1761 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1762 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1763 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1764 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1765 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1766 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1767 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1768 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1769 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2127 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2128 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2129 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2130 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2131 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2132 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2187 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2189 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2190 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2191 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2192 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2193 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2194 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2195 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2196 but is mildly deprecated.
2197 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2198 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2199 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2200 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2201 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2202 switching to statoverrides..
2203 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2204 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2205 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2206 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2207 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2208 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2210 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2211 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2212 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2213 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2214 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2215 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2216 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2217 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2218 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2220 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2221 variable names, pod man pages).
2222 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2223 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2224 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2225 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2226 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2227 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2228 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2394 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

2400 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2401 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2644 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2645 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2646 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2647 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2648 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2649 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2650 notice until v2 is complete.
2651 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2652 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2653 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2654 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2655 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2656 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2658 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2659 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2660 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2785 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

2872 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2873 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2874 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2875 bits until all files have been registered.

3014 I made some changes, though:
3015 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3016 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3017 that is a clear violation of policy.
3018 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3019 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3020 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3021 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3022 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3023 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3024 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3025 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3026 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories

3070 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make

3193 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3194 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3195 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3196 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3197 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3198 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3199 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3200 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3201 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3202 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3203 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4073 * The perl conversion is complete.
4075 * dh_compress: perlized (yay, perl has readlink, no more ls -l | awk

4119 debhelper (1.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
4121 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
4122 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
4123 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
4124 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
4125 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
4126 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

4130 debhelper (1.1.24) unstable; urgency=low
4132 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
4133 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4134 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4135 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4136 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4147 debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
4149 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4150 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4151 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4152 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4153 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4154 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4155 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4156 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4157 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4169 * Added a --same-arch flag, that is useful in the rare case when you have
4170 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,
4171 multi-architecture source package. (Ie, netscape-dmotif).

4191 debhelper (1.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
4193 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4194 sections of shared libraries.
4195 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4196 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4197 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4198 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4199 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4200 things you don't want them to.
4201 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
4202 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

4229 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
4230 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
4231 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

4261 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4262 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4263 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4264 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4265 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4266 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4268 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4269 remove debian/files properly.
4270 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4271 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4272 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
4273 * Removed bogus menu file.

4289 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
4290 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

4321 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4322 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4333 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4334 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4335 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4336 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4337 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4338 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4339 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4340 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4341 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4342 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4343 passed any switches.

4355 large chunks in the process.
4356 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4357 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4523 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4524 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4525 past week. Thanks, guys!
4527 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4528 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4529 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4530 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4531 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4532 would do in the same situation.
4533 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4534 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4536 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4538 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4539 permissions changed.
4540 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4541 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4542 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4543 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4544 files are treated identically.

4556 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4557 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4558 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4559 use -X multiple times, too.
4560 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4561 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4873 a given package, or -i or -a.

4875 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5042 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5093 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
5094 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5095 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5096 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5097 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5101 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5103 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5104 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5105 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5106 multiple binary packages.
5107 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5108 should rebuild them with this version.
5109 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5127 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5129 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5130 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5131 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5132 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5133 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5134 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5135 debian/README.debian.
5136 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5137 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5138 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5139 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5140 in a few situations.)

5171 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5173 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5174 is ready for general use.
5175 * Added man pages for all commands.
5176 * Multiple binary package support.
5177 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5178 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5179 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5181 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5182 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5183 auto-installed as parameters.
5184 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5186 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5189 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5190 the package build directory it is to act on.
5191 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5192 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5193 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
