1137 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1138 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1139 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1140 dh_install, which ...
1141 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1142 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1143 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1144 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1145 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1146 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1147 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1148 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1149 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1150 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1151 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1152 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1153 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1154 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1155 other minor changes.
1156 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1157 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1158 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1159 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1160 course there's -X ..)
1161 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1162 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1163 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1165 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1166 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1167 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1168 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1169 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1213 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1214 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1216 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1217 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1244 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1246 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1247 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1248 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1249 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1250 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1251 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1252 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1253 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1254 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1255 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1256 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1257 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1258 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1259 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1260 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1261 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1263 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1298 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1299 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1300 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1301 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1302 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1303 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1304 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1305 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1306 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1666 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1667 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1668 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1669 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1726 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1727 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1728 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1729 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1730 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1732 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1733 but is mildly deprecated.
1734 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1735 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1736 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1737 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1738 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1739 switching to statoverrides..
1740 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1741 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1742 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1743 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1744 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1745 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1747 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1748 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1749 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1750 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1751 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1752 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1753 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1754 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1755 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1757 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1758 variable names, pod man pages).
1759 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1760 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1761 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1762 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1763 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1764 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1765 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1937 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in

2181 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2182 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2183 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2184 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2185 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2186 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2187 notice until v2 is complete.
2188 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2189 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2190 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2191 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2192 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2193 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2195 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2196 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2197 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2198 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2320 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2322 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2323 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2324 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2325 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2409 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2410 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

2550 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2551 I made some changes, though:
2552 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2553 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2554 that is a clear violation of policy.
2555 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2556 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2557 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2558 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2559 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2560 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2561 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2562 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2563 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2565 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2730 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2731 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2732 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2733 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2734 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2735 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2736 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2737 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2738 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2739 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2740 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3561 * examples/*: moved dh_makeshlibs call to before dh_installdeb call.
3562 (#29762). This is just so if you replace dh_makeshlibs with something
3563 that generates debian/shlibs, it still gets installed properly.

3671 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3672 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3673 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3687 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3688 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3689 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3690 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3691 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3692 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3693 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3694 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3730 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3731 sections of shared libraries.
3732 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3733 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3734 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3735 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3736 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3737 things you don't want them to.
3738 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
3739 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

3767 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
3768 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

3798 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
3799 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
3800 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3801 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3802 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3803 I apologize for the inconvenience.

3806 remove debian/files properly.
3807 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

3809 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

3858 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
3859 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

3873 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
3874 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3875 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3876 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3877 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3878 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
3879 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
3880 passed any switches.

4059 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4060 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4061 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4062 past week. Thanks, guys!
4064 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4065 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4066 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4067 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4068 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4069 would do in the same situation.
4070 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4071 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4073 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4075 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4076 permissions changed.
4077 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4078 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4079 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4080 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4081 files are treated identically.
4082 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4083 * Minor man page fixes.
4084 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4085 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4086 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4093 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4094 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4095 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4096 use -X multiple times, too.
4097 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4098 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4123 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4124 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

4410 a given package, or -i or -a.

4576 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4577 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4578 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4579 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4640 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4641 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4642 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4643 multiple binary packages.
4644 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4645 should rebuild them with this version.
4646 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4664 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4666 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4667 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4668 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4669 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4670 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4671 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4672 debian/README.debian.
4673 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4674 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4675 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4676 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4677 in a few situations.)

4713 * Multiple binary package support.
4714 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4715 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4716 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4718 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4719 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4720 auto-installed as parameters.
4721 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4723 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4726 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4727 the package build directory it is to act on.
4728 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4729 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4730 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
