4 * python_distutils.pm: Support debhelper backports.
5 To allow backports of debhelper we don't pass
6 --install-layout=deb to 'setup.py install` for those Python
7 versions where the option is ignored by distutils/setuptools.
8 Thanks to Julian Andres Klode for the bug report.

103 debhelper (7.3.0) experimental; urgency=low
105 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
106 contributed by Modestas Vainius
107 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
108 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
109 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
110 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
111 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
112 that support it. Closes: #480577
113 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
114 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
115 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
117 - Adds support for cmake.
118 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
119 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
121 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
123 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
124 that use them. The options are:
125 --sourcedir, --destdir
126 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
127 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
128 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
129 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
130 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

172 * dh_install: Handle correctly the case where a glob expands to
173 a dangling symlink, installing the dangling link as requested.
175 * dh_install: Fix fallback use of debian/tmp in v7 mode; a bug caused
176 it to put files inside a debian/tmp directory in the package build
177 directory, now that prefix is stripped. (See #534565)

192 * Allow command-specific options to be passed to commands
193 via dh without causing other commands to emit a getopt
194 warning or deprecation message.
195 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
196 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
197 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
198 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
199 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
200 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
201 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

413 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
414 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
415 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
416 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
417 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

587 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
588 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that

1103 specific python version. Closes: #373853

1105 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1107 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1108 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1109 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1110 the not too-distant future).

2811 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2812 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2813 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2814 dh_install, which ...
2815 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2816 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2817 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2818 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2819 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2820 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2821 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2822 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2823 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2824 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2825 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2826 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2827 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2828 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2829 other minor changes.
2830 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2831 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2832 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2833 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2834 course there's -X ..)
2835 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2836 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2837 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2839 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2840 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2841 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2842 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2843 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2887 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2888 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2889 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2890 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2891 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2918 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2920 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2921 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2922 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2923 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2924 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2925 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2926 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2927 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2928 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2929 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2930 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2931 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2932 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2933 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2934 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2935 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2937 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2954 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2955 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2956 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2957 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2958 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2972 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2973 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2974 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2975 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2976 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2977 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2978 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2979 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2980 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3156 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3157 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3158 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3159 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3160 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3161 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3162 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3163 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3164 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3165 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3166 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3168 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3188 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3189 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3190 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3191 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3192 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3193 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3194 program those options go to. So, for example,
3195 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3196 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3197 something complex. Closes: #89311

3338 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3339 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3340 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3341 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3342 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3343 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3344 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3398 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3400 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3401 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3402 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3403 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3404 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3405 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3406 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3407 but is mildly deprecated.
3408 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3409 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3410 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3411 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3412 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3413 switching to statoverrides..
3414 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3415 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3416 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3417 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3418 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3419 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3421 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3422 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3423 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3424 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3425 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3426 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3427 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3428 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3429 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3431 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3432 variable names, pod man pages).
3433 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3434 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3435 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3436 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3437 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3438 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3439 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3508 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
3509 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
3510 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
3511 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3512 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
3513 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
3514 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
3515 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
3516 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
3517 it is an obsolete program.

3602 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3603 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
3604 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3605 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3606 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3607 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3608 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3610 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3611 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3612 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3614 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3616 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3617 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3618 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3619 should now be raised to severity important..
3620 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3621 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3663 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3855 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3856 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3857 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3858 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3859 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3860 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3861 notice until v2 is complete.
3862 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3863 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3864 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3865 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3866 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3867 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3869 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4081 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4082 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4083 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4084 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4085 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4086 bits until all files have been registered.

4095 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4096 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4097 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4098 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4099 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4100 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4101 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4102 otherwise change the result at all.
4104 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4105 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4124 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4125 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4127 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4128 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4129 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4130 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4224 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4225 I made some changes, though:
4226 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4227 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4228 that is a clear violation of policy.
4229 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4230 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4231 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4232 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4233 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4234 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4235 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4236 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4237 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4239 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4284 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4285 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4406 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4407 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4408 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4409 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4410 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4411 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4412 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4413 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4414 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5150 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base

5152 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5153 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

5156 suidregister actually supports it.

5174 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5175 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).

5365 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5366 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5367 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5526 * dh_builddeb, dh_installchangelogs: converted to perl.
5527 * dh_installdirs: converted to perl, getting rid of nasty chdir en-route.
5528 * dh_installdirs: now you can use absolute directory names too if you
5530 * doc/PROGRAMMING: updated to cover new perl modules.
5531 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
5532 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5533 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
5534 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
5535 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

5541 * dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
5542 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
5543 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
5544 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5545 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5546 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5547 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5548 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5549 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5550 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5551 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5552 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5553 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5554 passed any switches.
5555 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

5562 * dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used
5563 at all for a long while.
5564 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
5565 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
5566 large chunks in the process.
5567 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
5568 install many oddly named files it died on before.

5587 some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages
5588 that don't always have the same files in them.
5589 * dh_compress: any parameters passed to it on the command line specify
5590 additional files to be compressed in the first package acted on.

5601 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
5602 updating 27 man pages.
5603 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
5604 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
5605 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.

5733 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5734 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5735 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5736 past week. Thanks, guys!
5738 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5739 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5740 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5741 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5742 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5743 would do in the same situation.
5744 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5745 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5747 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5749 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5750 permissions changed.
5751 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5752 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5753 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5754 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5755 files are treated identically.
5756 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5757 * Minor man page fixes.
5758 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
5759 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
5760 --no-act is on. (#23054)

5767 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
5768 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
5769 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5770 use -X multiple times, too.
5771 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5772 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5797 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
5798 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

6081 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6082 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6083 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6084 a given package, or -i or -a.
6085 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6086 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6087 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6088 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

6090 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6092 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6171 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
