98 * Non-maintainer upload.
100 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
101 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
102 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
103 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
104 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
105 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
106 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
107 specific python version. Closes: #373853
108 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
109 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
111 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
112 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
113 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
114 the not too-distant future).
115 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
116 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
117 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
118 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
119 thus made the build fail.

1815 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1816 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1817 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1818 dh_install, which ...
1819 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1820 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1821 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1822 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1823 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1824 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1825 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1826 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1827 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1828 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1829 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1830 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1831 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1832 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1833 other minor changes.
1834 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1835 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1836 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1837 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1838 course there's -X ..)
1839 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1840 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1841 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1843 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1844 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1845 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1846 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1847 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1894 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1895 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1922 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1924 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1925 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1926 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1927 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1928 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1929 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1930 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1931 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1932 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1933 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1934 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1935 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1936 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1937 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1938 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1939 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1941 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1959 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1960 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1961 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

1976 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1977 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1978 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1979 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1980 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1981 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1982 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1983 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1984 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2160 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2161 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2162 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2163 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2164 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2165 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2166 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2167 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2168 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2169 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2170 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2172 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2190 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
2192 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2193 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2194 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2195 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2196 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2197 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2198 program those options go to. So, for example,
2199 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2200 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2201 something complex. Closes: #89311

2339 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for

2341 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2342 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2343 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2344 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2345 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2346 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2347 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2348 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2349 Closes: #88464, #77743

2402 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2404 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2405 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2406 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2407 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2408 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2409 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2410 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2411 but is mildly deprecated.
2412 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2413 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2414 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2415 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2416 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2417 switching to statoverrides..
2418 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2419 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2420 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2421 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2422 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2423 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2425 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2426 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2427 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2428 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2429 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2430 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2431 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2432 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2433 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2435 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2436 variable names, pod man pages).
2437 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2438 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2439 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2440 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2441 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2442 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2443 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2607 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2608 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2609 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2610 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2611 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2612 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2614 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2615 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2616 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2618 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2620 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2621 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2622 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2623 should now be raised to severity important..
2624 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2625 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2667 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2684 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

2859 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2860 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2861 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2862 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2863 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2864 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2865 notice until v2 is complete.
2866 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2867 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2868 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2869 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2870 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2871 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2873 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3084 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3085 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3086 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3087 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3088 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3089 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3090 bits until all files have been registered.

3099 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3100 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3101 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3102 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3103 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3104 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3105 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3106 otherwise change the result at all.
3108 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3109 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3110 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3128 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3129 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3131 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3132 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3133 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3134 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3228 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3229 I made some changes, though:
3230 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3231 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3232 that is a clear violation of policy.
3233 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3234 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3235 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3236 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3237 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3238 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3239 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3240 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3241 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3243 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3287 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3288 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3289 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3408 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3409 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3410 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3411 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3412 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3413 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3414 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3415 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3416 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3417 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3418 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3428 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3433 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

3581 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
3582 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
3583 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable

3591 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3592 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3662 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3663 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

3757 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3805 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

4369 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4370 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4371 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4552 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4553 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4554 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4555 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4556 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4557 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4558 passed any switches.
4559 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

4738 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4739 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4740 past week. Thanks, guys!
4742 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4743 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4744 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4745 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4746 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4747 would do in the same situation.
4748 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4749 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4751 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4753 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4754 permissions changed.
4755 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4756 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4757 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4758 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4759 files are treated identically.
4760 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4773 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4774 use -X multiple times, too.

5048 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
5049 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
5050 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
5051 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5052 are supported. (#16935)
5053 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

5087 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5088 a given package, or -i or -a.

5090 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5175 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
