1 debhelper (2.0.76) unstable; urgency=low
4 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
5 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
6 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
7 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
8 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
9 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
10 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
11 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
12 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
13 otherwise change the result at all.
15 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
16 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
17 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
18 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..
19 * This changelog was automatically generated from CVS commit information.

32 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
33 act on files that don't exist.
34 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
35 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
36 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
38 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
39 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
40 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
41 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

59 * Oh, the build dependancies include all of debhelper's regular
60 dependancies as well, since it builds using itself.

64 debhelper (2.0.70) unstable; urgency=low
66 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
67 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
69 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
70 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
71 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

75 debhelper (2.0.69) unstable; urgency=low
77 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
78 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
79 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
80 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
81 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
82 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extentions dh_compress
83 does not compress. Closes: #41733
84 * Also, made all extentions dh_compress skips be looked at case
86 * dh_movefiles: force owner and group of installed files to be root.
88 * Closes: #42650, #47175 -- they've been fixed forever.

132 * Fixed problem with dh_installemacsen options not working, patch from
133 Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@icp.inpg.fr>, Closes: #47738
134 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
135 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
136 I made some changes, though:
137 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
138 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
139 that is a clear violation of policy.
140 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
141 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
142 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
143 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
144 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
145 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
146 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
147 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
148 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
150 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

167 debhelper (2.0.59) unstable; urgency=low
169 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
170 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
171 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

191 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
192 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
193 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
194 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
195 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
196 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
197 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
198 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

271 existance of emacs-package-install/remove before calling them. Though

311 debhelper (2.0.40) unstable; urgency=low
313 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
314 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
315 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
316 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
317 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
318 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
319 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
320 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
321 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
322 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
323 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
324 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
325 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

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

396 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
397 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
398 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so

1059 debhelper (1.2.21) unstable; urgency=low
1061 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
1062 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
1063 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
1064 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
1065 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
1066 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
1067 suidregister actually supports it.
1068 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
1069 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

1080 debhelper (1.2.19) unstable; urgency=low
1082 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
1083 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
1084 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
1085 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
1086 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
1087 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
1088 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
1089 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

1102 * dh_makeshlibs: relaxed regexp to find library name and number a little so
1103 it will work on libraries with a major but no minor version in their
1104 filename (examples of such: libtcl8.0.so.1, libBLT-unoff.so.1)

1116 * dh_installdocs: behavior change: all docs are now installed mode 644.
1117 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
1118 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
1119 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
1120 effect, either. (#30118)

1132 * Really fixed #29762 this time. This also fixes #30025, which asked that
1133 dh_makeshlibs come before dh_shlibdeps, so the files it generates can
1134 also be used as a shlibs.local file, which will be used by dh_shlibdeps.

1148 that generates debian/shlibs, it still gets installed properly.

1244 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
1245 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
1246 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
1247 * dh_installmenu, dh_installwmacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
1248 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

1254 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
1255 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
1256 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
1257 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
1258 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

1272 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
1273 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
1274 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
1275 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
1276 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
1277 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
1278 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
1279 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

1315 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
1316 sections of shared libraries.
1317 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
1318 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
1319 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
1320 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
1321 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
1322 things you don't want them to.
1323 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
1324 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

1351 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
1352 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
1353 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected
1354 the program to not fail. (#26214)

1383 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
1384 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
1385 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
1386 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
1387 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
1388 I apologize for the inconvenience.

1444 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

1461 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
1462 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
1463 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

1565 * !!!! WARNING: Debhelper (specifically dh_compress) is broken with
1566 !!!! libtricks. Use fakeroot instead until this is fixed.
1567 * dh_compress: applied patch from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
1568 to make it not fail if there are no candidates for compression (#24654).
1569 * Removed a whole debhelper-0.96 tree that had crept into the source
1570 package by accident.
1571 * Is version 1.0 next?

1575 debhelper (0.98) unstable; urgency=low
1577 * dh_lib: isnative: pass -l<changelog> to dpkg-parsechangelog, to support
1578 odd packages with multiple different debian changelogs.
1579 * doc/PROGRAMMING: cleaned up the docs on DH_EXCLUDE_FIND.

1583 debhelper (0.97) unstable; urgency=low
1585 * doc/from-debstd: fixed a typo.
1586 * examples/*: install-stamp no longer depends on phony build targey; now
1587 install-stamp depends on build-stamp instead (#24234).
1588 * dh_fixperms: applied patch from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
1589 to fix bad uses of the find command, so it should now work on packages
1590 with files with spaces in them (#22005). It's also much cleaner. Thanks,
1592 * dh_getopt.pl, doc/PROGRAMMING: added DH_EXCLUDE_FIND, to make the above

1597 debhelper (0.96) unstable; urgency=low
1599 * dh_movefiles: fixed serious breakage introduced in the last version.
1600 * dh_movefiles: really order all symlinks last.
1601 * some minor reorganization of the source tree.

1605 debhelper (0.95) unstable; urgency=low
1607 * dh_movefiles: move even very strangly named files. (#23775) Unfortunatly,
1608 I had to use a temporary file. Oh well..

1612 debhelper (0.94) unstable; urgency=low
1614 * dh_md5sums: fixed so it handles spaces and other odd characters in
1615 filenames correctly. (#23046, #23700, #22010)
1616 * As a side effect, got rid of the nasty temporary file dh_md5sums used

1627 debhelper (0.92) unstable; urgency=low
1629 * dh_gencontrol: pass -isp to dpkg-gencontrol to make it include section
1630 and priority info in the .deb file. Back in Jan 1998, this came up, and
1631 a consensus was reached on debian-devel that it was a good thing for

1636 debhelper (0.91) unstable; urgency=low
1638 * dh_installdocs: support debian/<package>.{README.Debian,TODO}
1640 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 17 Jun 1998 19:09:35 -0700
1642 debhelper (0.90) unstable; urgency=low
1644 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
1645 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
1646 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
1647 past week. Thanks, guys!
1649 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
1650 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
1651 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
1652 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
1653 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
1654 would do in the same situation.
1655 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
1656 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
1658 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
1660 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
1661 permissions changed.
1662 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
1663 some people enjoy changing root's name.
1664 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
1665 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
1666 files are treated identically.
1667 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
1668 * Minor man page fixes.
1669 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
1670 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
1671 --no-act is on. (#23054)

1675 debhelper (0.88) unstable; urgency=low
1677 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
1678 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
1679 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
1680 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
1681 use -X multiple times, too.
1682 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
1683 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

1687 debhelper (0.87) unstable; urgency=low
1689 * dh_strip: strip .comment and .note, not comment and note, when stripping
1690 elf binaries. This makes for smaller output files. This has always been
1691 broken in debhelper before! (#22395)

1695 debhelper (0.86) unstable; urgency=low
1697 * dh_compress: don't try to re-compress *.gz files. Eliminates warning
1698 messages in some cases, shouldn't actually change the result at all.

1702 debhelper (0.85) unstable; urgency=low
1704 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
1705 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
1706 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
1707 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
1708 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
1709 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
1710 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
1711 shape if you're starting a new package.

1715 debhelper (0.84) unstable; urgency=low
1717 * Applied Che_Fox'x patches to example rules files, which makes them use
1718 an install target internally to move things into place in debian/tmp.

1722 debhelper (0.83) unstable; urgency=low
1724 * Generate symlinks in build stage of debian/rules. cvs cannot create them
1725 properly. Note that version 0.80 and 0.81 could not build some packages
1726 because of missing symlinks.
1728 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 31 Mar 1998 19:27:29 -0800
1730 debhelper (0.81) unstable; urgency=low
1732 * dh_movefiles: empty $tomove (#20495).
1734 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 31 Mar 1998 15:36:32 -0800
1736 debhelper (0.80) unstable; urgency=low
1738 * Moved under cvs (so I can fork a stable and an unstable version).
1739 * dh_movefiles: first move real files, then move symlinks. (#18220)
1740 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
1741 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
1742 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
1743 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package
1745 * dh_gencontrol: if debian/package.changelogs files exist, use them.
1746 * Above 2 changes close #20442.

1750 debhelper (0.78) frozen unstable; urgency=low
1752 * More spelling fixes from Christian T. Steigies. (I ignored the spelling
1753 fixes to the changelog, though - too many, and a changelog isn't meant
1754 to be changed after the fact :-)
1755 * dh_fixperms: remove execute bits from .la files genrated by libtool.
1757 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 30 Mar 1998 12:44:42 -0800
1759 debhelper (0.77) frozen unstable; urgency=low
1761 * Fixed a nasty bug in dh_makeshlibs when it was called with -V, but with
1762 no version string after the -V.
1764 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 29 Mar 1998 16:08:27 -0800
1766 debhelper (0.76) frozen unstable; urgency=low
1768 * I intended version 0.75 to make it in before the freeze, and it did not.
1769 This is just to get it into frozen. There are no changes except bug
1772 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 26 Mar 1998 12:25:47 -0800
1774 debhelper (0.75) unstable; urgency=low
1776 * Actually exit if there is an unknown option on the command line (oooops!)
1777 * Fix .so file conversion to actually work (#19933).

1781 debhelper (0.74) unstable; urgency=low
1783 * dh_installmanpages: convert .so links to symlinks at last (#19829).
1784 * dh_installmanpages.1: documented that no, dh_installmanpages never
1785 installs symlink man pages from the source package (#19831).
1786 * dh_installmanpages: minor speedups
1787 * PROGRAMMING: numerous spelling fixes, thanks to Christian T. Steigies.
1788 Life is too short for me to spell check my technical documentation, but
1789 I always welcome corrections!

1793 debhelper (0.73) unstable; urgency=low
1795 * Fixed typo in dh_suidregister.1

1799 debhelper (0.72) unstable; urgency=low
1801 * Applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@a2points.com> to add a
1802 --init-script parameter to dh_installinit. (#19227)
1803 * Documented this new switch.
1805 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 9 Mar 1998 17:12:04 -0800
1807 debhelper (0.71) unstable; urgency=low
1809 * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
1810 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
1811 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
1812 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
1813 no packages use the old behavior.
1815 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 9 Mar 1998 11:46:59 -0800
1817 debhelper (0.70) unstable; urgency=low
1819 * dh_lib: autoscript(): no longer add the modification date to the
1820 comments aurrounding debhelper-added code. I don't think this date was
1821 gaining us anything, so let's remove it and save some disk space.
1823 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 8 Mar 1998 21:15:13 -0800
1825 debhelper (0.69) unstable; urgency=low
1827 * Refer to suidregister (8), not (1). Bug #19149.
1828 * Removed junk file from debian/ dir.

1832 debhelper (0.68) unstable; urgency=low
1834 * Document that README.debian files are installed as README.Debian (#19089).

1838 debhelper (0.67) unstable; urgency=low
1840 * Added PROGRAMMING document that describes the interface of dh_lib, to
1841 aid others in writing and understanding debhelper programs.
1843 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 6 Mar 1998 12:45:08 -0800
1845 debhelper (0.66) unstable; urgency=low
1847 * README, dh_testversion.1, dh_movefiles.1: more doc fixes.
1848 * dh_movefiles: don't check for package names to see if files are being
1849 moved from one package back into itself, instead, check tmp dir names.
1850 If you use this behavior, you should use "dh_testversion 0.66".
1852 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 2 Mar 1998 17:50:29 -0800
1854 debhelper (0.65) unstable; urgency=low
1856 * dh_installdocs.1, dh_movefiles.1: clarified documentation for Che.

1860 debhelper (0.64) unstable; urgency=low
1862 * Removed some junk (a whole old debhelper source tree!) that had gotten
1863 into the source package by accident.
1865 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 23 Feb 1998 20:23:34 -0800
1867 debhelper (0.63) unstable; urgency=low
1869 * Removed some debugging output from dh_installmanpages.
1870 * du_du: no longer does anything, becuase it has been decided on
1871 debian-policy that du control files are bad.
1872 * examples/*: removed dh_du calls.
1873 * debian/rules: removed dh_du call.
1874 * Modified dh_gencontrol, dh_makeshlibs, and dh_md5sums to generate files
1875 with the correct permissions even if the umask is set to unusual
1878 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 16 Feb 1998 23:34:36 -0800
1880 debhelper (0.62) unstable; urgency=low
1882 * dh_installmanpages: if the man page filename ends in 'x', install it in
1884 * TODO: expanded descriptions of stuff, in the hope someone else will get
1885 inspired to implement some of it.
1886 * Also added all wishlist bugs to the TODO.
1888 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 12 Feb 1998 22:38:53 -0800
1890 debhelper (0.61) unstable; urgency=low
1892 * dh_installmanpages: Add / to end of egrep -v regexp, fixes it so
1893 debian/icewm.1 can be found.

1897 debhelper (0.60) unstable; urgency=low
1899 * dh_fixperms: make all files readable and writable by owner
1900 (policy 3.3.8 paragraph 2).
1901 Lintian found lots of bugs that will be fixed by this change.
1903 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 9 Feb 1998 12:26:13 -0800
1905 debhelper (0.59) unstable; urgency=low
1907 * Added DH_NO_ACT and --no-act, which make debhelper commands run without
1908 actually doing anything. (Combine with -v to see what the command would
1909 have done.) (#17598)
1911 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 1 Feb 1998 14:51:08 -0800
1913 debhelper (0.58) unstable; urgency=low
1915 * Fixed bug #17597 - DH_VERBOSE wasn'talways taking effect.

1919 debhelper (0.57) unstable; urgency=low
1921 * Depend on perl 5.004 or greater (for Getopt::Long).

1925 debhelper (0.56) unstable; urgency=low
1927 * dh_compress: Applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@a2points.com>,
1928 to make it not abort of one of the find's fails.

1932 debhelper (0.55) unstable; urgency=low
1934 * dh_clean: delete substvarsfiles probperly again (broken in 0.53). #17077
1935 * Added call to dh_movefiles, and a commented out call to dh_testversion,
1936 to some of the sample rules files. #17076

1940 debhelper (0.54) unstable; urgency=low
1942 * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own
1943 argument processor in perl.
1944 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
1945 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,
1946 dh_installinit -u"defaults 10")
1947 * Now depends on perl (needs Getopt::Long).

1951 debhelper (0.53) unstable; urgency=low
1953 * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp
1954 type directories. (#16933)
1955 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
1956 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
1957 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
1958 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
1959 are supported. (#16935)
1960 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.
1963 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 10 Jan 1998 11:30:12 -0500
1965 debhelper (0.52) unstable; urgency=low
1967 * dh_compress: compress file belongs in debian/. It was looking in ./
1968 This has been broken since version 0.30.
1970 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 6 Jan 1998 14:08:31 -0500
1972 debhelper (0.51) unstable; urgency=low
1974 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
1976 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
1977 version requirements in the shlibs file.
1978 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
1979 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
1980 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
1981 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.
1983 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 5 Jan 1998 16:15:01 -0500
1985 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
1987 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
1988 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
1989 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
1991 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
1992 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
1993 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
1994 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
1995 a given package, or -i or -a.
1996 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
1997 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
1998 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
1999 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
2000 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
2001 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
2002 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
2003 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
2004 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
2006 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
2007 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
2008 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

2012 debhelper (0.37) unstable; urgency=low
2014 * dh_du: Fixed hardcoded debian/tmp.
2015 * This change got lost by accident, redid it: Optimized out most of the
2016 slowdown caused by using dpkg-parsechangelog - now it's only called by

2030 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
2031 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
2032 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
2033 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

2043 debhelper (0.33) unstable; urgency=low
2045 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
2046 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
2047 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
2048 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
2049 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789
2050 * examples/*: use dh_clean -k in the binary targets of all rules files,

2057 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
2058 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
2059 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
2060 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

2079 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
2080 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
2081 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
2082 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
2083 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
2084 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
2085 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

2105 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
2106 the dh_* programs (#15497).
2107 * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

2157 debhelper (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
2159 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
2160 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
2161 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
2162 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
2163 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
2164 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

2170 * Added dh_installdirs, automatically creates subdirectories (for

2216 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
2217 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
2218 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
2219 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

2223 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
2225 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
2226 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
2227 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
2228 multiple binary packages.
2229 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
2230 should rebuild them with this version.
2231 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

2249 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
2251 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
2252 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
2253 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
2254 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
2255 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
2256 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
2257 debian/README.debian.
2258 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
2259 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
2260 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
2261 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
2262 in a few situations.)

2293 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
2295 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
2296 is ready for general use.
2297 * Added man pages for all commands.
2298 * Multiple binary package support.
2299 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
2300 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
2301 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
2303 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
2304 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
2305 auto-installed as parameters.
2306 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
2308 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
2311 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
2312 the package build directory it is to act on.
2313 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
2314 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
2315 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
