192 that uses them. Affected options are:
193 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
194 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
195 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

198 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
199 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
200 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
201 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
202 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
203 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
204 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

732 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version

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

760 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in

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

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

2598 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2599 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2600 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2601 dh_install, which ...
2602 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2603 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2604 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2605 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2606 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2607 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2608 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2609 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2610 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2611 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2612 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2613 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2614 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2615 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2616 other minor changes.
2617 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2618 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2619 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2620 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2621 course there's -X ..)
2622 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2623 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2624 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2626 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2627 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2628 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2629 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2630 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2674 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2675 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2676 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2677 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2678 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2705 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2707 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2708 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2709 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2710 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2711 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2712 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2713 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2714 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2715 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2716 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2717 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2718 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2719 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2720 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2721 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2722 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2724 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2759 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2760 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2761 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2762 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2763 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2764 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2765 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2766 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2767 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3015 * dh_shlibdeps: the -l switch now just adds to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if it is

3124 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
3125 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3126 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3127 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3128 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3129 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3130 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3131 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3185 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3187 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3188 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3189 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3190 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3191 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3192 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3193 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3194 but is mildly deprecated.
3195 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3196 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3197 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3198 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3199 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3200 switching to statoverrides..
3201 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3202 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3203 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3204 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3205 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3206 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3208 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3209 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3210 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3211 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3212 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3213 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3214 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3215 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3216 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3218 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3219 variable names, pod man pages).
3220 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3221 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3222 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3223 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3224 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3225 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3226 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3298 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3299 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3301 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

3392 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3394 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3395 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3397 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3398 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3399 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3404 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3405 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3640 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
3642 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3643 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3644 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3645 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3646 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3647 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3648 notice until v2 is complete.
3649 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3650 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3651 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3652 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3653 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3654 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3656 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3657 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3658 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3783 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

3870 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3871 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3872 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3873 bits until all files have been registered.

4013 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4014 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4015 that is a clear violation of policy.
4016 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4017 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4018 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4019 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4020 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4021 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4022 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4023 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4024 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories

4193 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4194 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4195 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4196 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4197 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4198 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4199 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4200 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4201 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5150 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5151 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5152 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5153 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5154 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5155 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5195 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5196 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5197 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do

5520 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5521 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5522 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5523 past week. Thanks, guys!
5525 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5526 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5527 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5528 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5529 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5530 would do in the same situation.
5531 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5532 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5534 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5536 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5537 permissions changed.
5538 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5539 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5540 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5541 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5542 files are treated identically.
5543 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5544 * Minor man page fixes.
5545 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
5546 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
5547 --no-act is on. (#23054)

5553 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
5554 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
5555 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5556 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5557 use -X multiple times, too.
5558 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5559 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5580 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
5581 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
5582 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
5583 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
5584 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5585 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
5586 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
5587 shape if you're starting a new package.

5616 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
5617 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
5618 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
5619 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package

5685 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
5686 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
5687 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
5688 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
5689 no packages use the old behavior.

5832 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
5833 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
5834 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5835 are supported. (#16935)

5853 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5854 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
5855 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
5856 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

5861 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
5863 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5864 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

5868 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5869 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5870 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5871 a given package, or -i or -a.
5872 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5873 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5874 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5875 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5876 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5877 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5878 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5879 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5880 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
5882 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
5883 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

5957 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5958 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5959 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

6035 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
6036 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6037 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6038 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6039 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6040 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6092 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
6093 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.

6099 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6101 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6102 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6103 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6104 multiple binary packages.
6105 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6106 should rebuild them with this version.
6107 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6125 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6127 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6128 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6129 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6130 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6131 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6132 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6133 debian/README.debian.
6134 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6135 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6136 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6137 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6138 in a few situations.)

6171 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6172 is ready for general use.
6173 * Added man pages for all commands.
6174 * Multiple binary package support.
6175 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6176 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6177 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6179 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6180 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6181 auto-installed as parameters.
6182 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6184 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6187 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6188 the package build directory it is to act on.
6189 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6190 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6191 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
