10 * Update french translation with recent change in dh_installmodules
13 * ACK last three NMUs with thanks to Raphael Hertzog for making the best of
14 a difficult situation.
15 * Revert all dh_python changes. Closes: #381389, #378604
16 * Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4.
17 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
18 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
19 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.
20 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
21 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
22 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
23 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
24 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

43 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
45 * Non-maintainer upload.
47 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
48 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
49 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
50 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
51 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
52 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
53 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
54 specific python version. Closes: #373853
55 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
56 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
58 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
59 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
60 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
61 the not too-distant future).
62 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
63 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
64 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
65 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
66 thus made the build fail.

1762 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1763 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1764 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1765 dh_install, which ...
1766 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1767 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1768 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1769 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1770 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1771 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1772 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1773 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1774 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1775 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1776 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1777 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1778 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1779 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1780 other minor changes.
1781 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1782 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1783 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1784 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1785 course there's -X ..)
1786 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1787 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1788 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1790 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1791 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1792 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1793 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1794 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1841 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1842 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1869 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1871 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1872 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1873 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1874 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1875 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1876 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1877 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1878 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1879 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1880 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1881 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1882 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1883 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1884 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1885 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1886 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1888 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1923 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1924 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1925 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1926 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1927 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1928 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1929 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1930 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1931 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2107 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2108 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2109 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2110 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2111 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2112 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2113 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2114 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2115 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2116 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2117 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2119 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2139 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2140 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2141 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2142 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2143 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2144 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2145 program those options go to. So, for example,
2146 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2147 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2289 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2290 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2291 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2292 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2293 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2294 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2349 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2351 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2352 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2353 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2354 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2355 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2356 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2357 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2358 but is mildly deprecated.
2359 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2360 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2361 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2362 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2363 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2364 switching to statoverrides..
2365 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2366 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2367 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2368 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2369 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2370 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2372 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2373 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2374 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2375 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2376 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2377 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2378 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2379 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2380 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2382 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2383 variable names, pod man pages).
2384 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2385 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2386 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2387 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2388 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2389 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2390 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2462 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2463 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2553 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2554 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2555 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2556 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2557 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2558 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2559 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2561 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2562 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2563 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2565 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2567 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2568 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2569 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2570 should now be raised to severity important..
2571 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2572 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2613 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2614 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2631 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

2806 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2807 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2808 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2809 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2810 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2811 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2812 notice until v2 is complete.
2813 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2814 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2815 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2816 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2817 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2818 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2820 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2821 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2822 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3035 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

3047 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3048 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3049 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3050 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3051 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3052 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3053 otherwise change the result at all.
3055 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3056 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3057 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
3058 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..
3059 * This changelog was automatically generated from CVS commit information.

3072 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
3073 act on files that don't exist.
3074 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
3075 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3076 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3078 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3079 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3080 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3081 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3099 * Oh, the build dependancies include all of debhelper's regular
3100 dependancies as well, since it builds using itself.

3104 debhelper (2.0.70) unstable; urgency=low
3106 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
3107 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
3109 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
3110 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
3111 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

3117 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
3118 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
3119 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
3120 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
3121 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
3122 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
3123 does not compress. Closes: #41733
3124 * Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case
3126 * dh_movefiles: force owner and group of installed files to be root.

3174 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3175 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3176 I made some changes, though:
3177 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3178 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3179 that is a clear violation of policy.
3180 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3181 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3182 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3183 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3184 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3185 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3186 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3187 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3188 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3190 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3209 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
3210 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
3211 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

3231 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
3232 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3233 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3234 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3235 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3236 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
3237 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
3238 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

3353 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
3354 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3355 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3356 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3357 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3358 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3359 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3360 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3361 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3362 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3363 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3364 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3365 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3371 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
3372 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
3373 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
3375 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
3376 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
3377 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
3378 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
3379 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
3380 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
3382 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
3383 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

3687 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3688 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3703 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3704 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4101 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4102 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4103 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4104 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

4107 suidregister actually supports it.

4316 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4317 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4318 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4555 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

4684 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4685 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4686 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4687 past week. Thanks, guys!
4689 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4690 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4691 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4692 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4693 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4694 would do in the same situation.
4695 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4696 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4698 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4700 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4701 permissions changed.
4702 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4703 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4704 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4705 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4706 files are treated identically.
4707 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4708 * Minor man page fixes.
4709 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

4720 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4721 use -X multiple times, too.
4722 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4723 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5036 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5037 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5038 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5039 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5040 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5041 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5042 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5043 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5071 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

5120 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5121 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5122 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5123 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5124 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,

5294 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5295 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5296 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5297 debian/README.debian.
5298 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5299 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5300 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5301 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5302 in a few situations.)

5348 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5351 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5352 the package build directory it is to act on.
5353 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5354 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
