1298 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1299 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1300 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1301 dh_install, which ...
1302 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1303 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1304 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1305 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1306 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1307 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1308 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1309 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1310 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1311 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1312 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1313 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1314 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1315 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1316 other minor changes.
1317 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1318 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1319 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1320 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1321 course there's -X ..)
1322 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1323 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1324 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1326 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1327 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1328 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1329 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1330 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1374 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1375 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1377 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1378 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1405 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1407 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1408 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1409 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1410 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1411 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1412 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1413 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1414 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1415 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1416 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1417 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1418 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1419 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1420 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1421 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1422 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1424 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1442 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1443 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1444 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
1445 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

1459 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1460 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1461 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1462 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1463 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1464 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1465 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1466 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1467 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1641 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
1643 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1644 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1645 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1646 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1647 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1648 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1649 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1650 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1651 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1652 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1653 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1654 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1655 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1673 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
1675 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1676 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1677 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1678 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1679 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1680 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1681 program those options go to. So, for example,
1682 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1683 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
1684 something complex. Closes: #89311

1824 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
1825 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1826 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1827 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1828 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1829 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1830 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1831 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

1885 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
1887 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1888 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1889 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1890 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1891 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1892 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1893 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1894 but is mildly deprecated.
1895 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1896 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1897 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1898 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1899 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1900 switching to statoverrides..
1901 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1902 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1903 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1904 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1905 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1906 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1908 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1909 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1910 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1911 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1912 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1913 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1914 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1915 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1916 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1918 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1919 variable names, pod man pages).
1920 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1921 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1922 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1923 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1924 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1925 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1926 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2089 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2090 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2091 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2092 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2093 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2094 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2095 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2097 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2098 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2099 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2101 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2103 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2104 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2105 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2106 should now be raised to severity important..
2107 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2108 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2150 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2166 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2167 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2168 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2342 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2343 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2344 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2345 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2346 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2347 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2348 notice until v2 is complete.
2349 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2350 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2351 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2352 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2353 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2354 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2356 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2357 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2358 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2567 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
2568 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
2569 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2570 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2571 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2572 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2573 bits until all files have been registered.

2579 * dh_installmanpages:
2580 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
2581 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
2582 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
2583 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2584 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2585 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2586 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2587 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2588 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2589 otherwise change the result at all.
2591 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2592 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2593 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
2594 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

2611 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2612 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2614 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2615 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2616 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2617 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2711 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2712 I made some changes, though:
2713 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2714 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2715 that is a clear violation of policy.
2716 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2717 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2718 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2719 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2720 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2721 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2722 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2723 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2724 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2726 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2768 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2769 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2770 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2771 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2772 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2890 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2891 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2892 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2893 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2894 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2895 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2896 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2897 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2898 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2899 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2900 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2901 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2908 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2909 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2911 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2912 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2913 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2914 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2915 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2916 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3047 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 9 Jul 1999 13:07:49 -0700
3049 debhelper (2.0.12) unstable; urgency=low
3051 * dh_installinfo: fixed #SECTION# substitution.
3053 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Jul 1999 17:51:59 -0700
3055 debhelper (2.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
3057 * At long, long last, dh_installinfo is written. It takes a simple list of
3058 info files and figures out the rest for you. (Closes: #15717)
3060 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Jul 1999 17:04:48 -0700
3062 debhelper (2.0.10) unstable; urgency=low
3064 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
3065 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
3066 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable
3068 * dh_compress: removed the usr/share/X11R6/man bit. Note part of FHS.
3070 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Jul 1999 10:46:03 -0700
3072 debhelper (2.0.09) unstable; urgency=low
3074 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3075 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
3076 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
3077 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)
3079 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Jul 1999 09:55:03 -0700
3081 debhelper (2.0.08) unstable; urgency=low
3083 * dh_*: redirect cd output to /den/null, because CD can actually output
3084 things if CDPATH is set.
3086 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 6 Jul 1999 10:14:00 -0700
3088 debhelper (2.0.07) unstable; urgency=low
3090 * Added dh_perl calls to example rules files.
3092 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 4 Jul 1999 15:57:51 -0700
3094 debhelper (2.0.06) unstable; urgency=low
3096 * Now depends on perl5 | perl, I'll kill the | perl bit later on, but it
3097 seems to make sense for the transition.

3101 debhelper (2.0.05) unstable; urgency=low
3103 * dh_clean: clean debian/tmp even if v2 is being used. If you're
3104 using dh_movefiles, stuff may well be left in there, and it needs to be
3107 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 3 Jul 1999 13:23:46 -0700
3109 debhelper (2.0.04) unstable; urgency=low
3111 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
3112 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
3113 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)
3115 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 2 Jul 1999 11:22:00 -0700
3117 debhelper (2.0.03) unstable; urgency=low
3119 * Depend on file >= 2.23-1, because dh_perl uses file -b, introduced at
3120 that version. (Closes: #40589)
3122 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:41:12 -0700
3124 debhelper (2.0.02) unstable; urgency=low
3126 * If you're going to use v2, it's reccommended you call
3127 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.
3128 * Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest
3129 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
3130 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...
3132 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:08:14 -0700
3134 debhelper (2.0.01) unstable; urgency=low
3136 * Actually include doc/v2 this time round.
3138 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:01:55 -0700
3140 debhelper (2.0.00) unstable; urgency=low
3142 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
3143 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
3144 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
3145 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3146 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
3147 * debhelper.1: documented this.
3148 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
3149 current compatability level is equal to that number.
3150 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.
3151 * debhelper itself now builds using DH_COMPAT=2.
3152 * dh_debstd forces DH_COMPAT=1, because it needs to stay compatable with
3155 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 13:37:58 -0700
3157 debhelper (1.9.00) unstable; urgency=low
3159 * This is a release of debhelper in preparation for debhelper v2.
3160 * doc/v2: added, documented status of v2 changes.
3161 * README: mention doc/v2
3162 * debhelper.1: docuimented DH_COMPAT
3163 * examples/*: added DH_COMAPT=1 to top of rules files
3165 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 13:16:41 -0700
3167 debhelper (1.2.83) unstable; urgency=medium
3169 * dh_perl: fixed substvars typo. Urgency medium since a lot of people will
3170 be using this script RSN.
3172 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 11:44:05 -0700
3174 debhelper (1.2.82) unstable; urgency=low
3176 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
3177 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
3178 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
3179 more than 1 init script.
3181 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 25 Jun 1999 11:38:05 -0700
3183 debhelper (1.2.81) unstable; urgency=low
3185 * dh_link: fixed bug #40159 and added a regression test for it. It was
3186 failing if it was given absolute filenames.
3188 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 25 Jun 1999 10:12:44 -0700
3190 debhelper (1.2.80) unstable; urgency=low
3192 * Changed perl version detection.
3193 * Changed call to find.
3195 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 24 Jun 1999 16:48:53 -0700
3197 debhelper (1.2.79) unstable; urgency=low
3199 * Added dh_perl by Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr>. dh_perl handles
3200 finding dependancies of perl scripts, plus deleting those annoying
3202 * I don't think dh_perl is going to be useful until the new version of

3207 debhelper (1.2.78) unstable; urgency=low
3209 * Really include dh_installpam.
3211 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 15 Jun 1999 09:00:36 -0700
3213 debhelper (1.2.77) unstable; urgency=low
3215 * dh_installpam: new program by Sean <shaleh@foo.livenet.net>
3216 * Wrote man page for same.
3218 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 11 Jun 1999 13:08:04 -0700
3220 debhelper (1.2.76) unstable; urgency=low
3222 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3223 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3224 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.
3227 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999 20:20:01 -0700
3229 debhelper (1.2.75) unstable; urgency=low
3231 * dh_installemacsen: fixed perms of install, remove scripts.
3234 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999 14:42:12 -0700
3236 debhelper (1.2.74) unstable; urgency=low
3238 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
3239 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3240 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)
3241 * The previous fix to dh_installemacsen was actually quite necessary - the
3242 x bit was being set!
3244 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 15:14:27 -0700
3246 debhelper (1.2.73) unstable; urgency=low
3248 * dh_installemacsen: make sure files are installed mode 0644. Not strictly
3249 necessary since dh_fixperms fixes them if you have a wacky umask, but oh
3250 well. (Closes: 38900)
3252 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:50:42 -0700
3254 debhelper (1.2.72) unstable; urgency=low
3256 * dh_installemacsen: use debian/package.emacsen-startup, not
3257 debian/package.emacsen-init. The former has always been documented to
3258 work on the man page (closes: #38898).
3260 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:16:57 -0700
3262 debhelper (1.2.71) unstable; urgency=low
3264 * Fixed a typo (closes: #38881)

3268 debhelper (1.2.70) unstable; urgency=low
3270 * dh_installmanpages: Properly quoted metacharacters in $dir in regexp.

3275 debhelper (1.2.69) unstable; urgency=low
3277 * Don't include Test.pm in the binary package.
3279 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 23 May 1999 19:29:27 -0700
3281 debhelper (1.2.68) unstable; urgency=low
3283 * doc/README: updated example of using #DEBHELPER# in a perl script, with
3284 help from Julian Gilbey.
3285 * dh_link: generate absolute symlinks where appropriate. The links
3286 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
3287 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
3288 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
3289 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
3290 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.
3291 * dh_installchangelogs: force all installed files to be owned by root
3294 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 16 May 1999 17:18:44 -0700
3296 debhelper (1.2.67) unstable; urgency=low
3298 * dh_installmodules: fixed type that made the program not work.

3302 debhelper (1.2.66) unstable; urgency=low
3304 * examples/rules.multi: dh_shlibdeps must be run before dh_gencontrol

3315 debhelper (1.2.64) unstable; urgency=low
3317 * dh_installmime: new command (#37093, #32684).

3321 debhelper (1.2.63) unstable; urgency=low
3323 * dh_installxaw: updated to work with xaw-wrappers 0.90 and above. It
3324 actually has to partially parse the xaw-wrappers config files now.
3326 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 2 May 1999 19:13:34 -0700
3328 debhelper (1.2.62) unstable; urgency=low
3330 * dh_installemacsen: added support for site-start files. Added --flavor
3331 and --number to control details of installation. (#36832)

3335 debhelper (1.2.61) unstable; urgency=low
3337 * dh_md5sums.1: dh_md5sums is not deprecated, AFAIK, but the manpage has
3338 somehow been modified to say it was at version 1.2.45.

3342 debhelper (1.2.60) unstable; urgency=low
3344 * dh_installexamples.1: recycled docs fix.

3348 debhelper (1.2.59) unstable; urgency=low
3350 * dh_builddeb: added --destdir option, which lets you tell it where
3351 to put the generated .deb's. Default is .. of course.
3353 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 22 Apr 1999 22:02:01 -0700
3355 debhelper (1.2.58) unstable; urgency=low
3357 * autoscripts/postinst-suid: use /#FILE# in elif test (#36297).

3367 debhelper (1.2.56) unstable; urgency=low
3369 * dh_suidregister: make the chown/chmod only happen if the file actually
3370 exists. This is useful if you have conffiles that have permissions and
3371 may be deleted. (#35845)
3373 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 10 Apr 1999 13:35:23 -0700
3375 debhelper (1.2.55) unstable; urgency=low
3377 * Various man page enhancements.

3383 debhelper (1.2.54) unstable; urgency=low
3385 * dh_installinit.1: man page fixups (#34160).
3386 * *.1: the date of each man page is now automatically updated when
3387 debhelper is built to be the last modification time of the man page.

3391 debhelper (1.2.53) unstable; urgency=low
3393 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
3394 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.
3395 Probably fixes #35677. Actually, it now skips files with a whole
3396 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and
3398 * dh_compress.1: updated docs to reflect this, and to give the new
3399 suggested starting point if you want to write your own debian/compress

3410 debhelper (1.2.51) unstable; urgency=low
3412 * Another very minor typo fix.

3422 debhelper (1.2.49) unstable; urgency=low
3424 * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of
3425 even symlinks. This could have even caused it to follow the symlinks and
3426 modify files on the build system in some cases. Ignores them now. (#35102)

3436 debhelper (1.2.47) unstable; urgency=low

3452 * dh_installwm.1: fixed two errors (#34534, #34535)

3464 debhelper (1.2.43) unstable; urgency=low
3466 * dh_compress.1: man page fixes (Closes: #33858).
3467 * dh_compress: now it can handle compressing arbitrary numbers of files,
3468 spawning gzip multiple times like xargs does, if necessary.
3470 * Dh_Lib.pm: added xargs() command.

3532 tmp dirs. (closes: #30807)

3609 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
3610 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

3637 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
3638 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
3639 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
3640 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

3643 suidregister actually supports it.
3644 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
3645 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

3659 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a

3661 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
3662 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
3663 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.

3850 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3851 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3852 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3853 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3854 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3855 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4049 * dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used
4050 at all for a long while.
4051 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
4052 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
4053 large chunks in the process.
4054 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4055 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4089 updating 27 man pages.
4090 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
4091 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

4220 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4221 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4222 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4223 past week. Thanks, guys!
4225 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4226 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4227 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4228 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4229 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4230 would do in the same situation.
4231 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4232 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4234 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4236 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4237 permissions changed.
4238 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4239 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4240 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4241 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4242 files are treated identically.
4243 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4244 * Minor man page fixes.
4245 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4246 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4247 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4253 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
4254 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4255 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4256 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4257 use -X multiple times, too.
4258 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4259 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4280 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
4281 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
4282 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
4283 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
4284 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4285 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

4287 shape if you're starting a new package.

4316 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
4317 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.

4570 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4571 a given package, or -i or -a.

4658 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
