15 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
16 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
17 flag with arch all/any packages.
18 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
19 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
20 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
21 situation. Closes: #540794

176 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
177 contributed by Modestas Vainius
178 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
179 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
180 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
181 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
182 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
183 that support it. Closes: #480577
184 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
185 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
186 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
188 - Adds support for cmake.
189 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
190 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
192 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
194 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
195 that use them. The options are:
196 --sourcedir, --destdir
197 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
198 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
199 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
200 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
201 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

267 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
268 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
269 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
270 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

1033 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
1034 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1035 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1036 script and then remove the python files.
1037 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1038 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1039 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1040 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1041 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1042 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1043 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1044 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1045 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1046 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1167 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1168 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

1174 specific python version. Closes: #373853

1176 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1178 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1179 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1180 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1181 the not too-distant future).

1556 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
1557 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5

1560 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2882 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2883 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2884 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2885 dh_install, which ...
2886 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2887 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2888 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2889 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2890 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2891 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2892 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2893 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2894 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2895 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2896 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2897 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2898 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2899 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2900 other minor changes.
2901 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2902 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2903 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2904 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2905 course there's -X ..)
2906 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2907 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

2910 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2911 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2912 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into

2961 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2962 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2989 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2991 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2992 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2993 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2994 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2995 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2996 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2997 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2998 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2999 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3000 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3001 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3002 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3003 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3004 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3005 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3006 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3008 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3025 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3026 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3027 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3028 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3029 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3030 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3041 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3043 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3044 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3045 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3046 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3047 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3048 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3049 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3050 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3051 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3230 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3231 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3232 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3233 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3234 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3235 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3236 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3237 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3261 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3262 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3263 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3264 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3265 program those options go to. So, for example,
3266 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3267 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3411 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3412 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3413 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3414 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3471 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3472 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3473 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3474 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3475 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

3477 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3478 but is mildly deprecated.
3479 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3480 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop

3482 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you

3484 switching to statoverrides..

3486 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3487 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3488 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3489 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3490 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3492 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3493 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3494 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3495 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3496 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3497 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3498 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3499 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.

3503 variable names, pod man pages).

3505 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3506 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3507 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3508 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3509 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3510 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3582 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3583 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3676 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3677 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3678 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3679 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3681 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3682 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3683 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3685 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3687 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3688 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3689 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3690 should now be raised to severity important..

3926 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3927 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3928 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3929 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3930 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3931 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3932 notice until v2 is complete.
3933 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3934 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3935 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3936 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3937 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3938 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3940 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4059 * Patch from Jorgen `forcer' Schaefer <forcer at mindless.com> (much
4060 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
4061 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
4062 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
4063 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
4064 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4065 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4067 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4068 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4069 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4070 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4071 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4072 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
4073 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

4151 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
4152 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4153 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4154 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4155 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4156 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4157 bits until all files have been registered.

4166 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4167 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4168 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4169 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4170 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4171 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4172 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4173 otherwise change the result at all.
4175 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4176 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4177 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
4178 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

4195 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4196 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4198 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4199 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4200 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4201 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4294 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
4295 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4296 I made some changes, though:
4297 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4298 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4299 that is a clear violation of policy.
4300 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4301 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4302 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4303 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4304 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4305 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4306 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4307 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4308 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4310 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4351 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
4352 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4353 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4354 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4355 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4356 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
4357 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

4477 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4478 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4479 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4480 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4481 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4482 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4483 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4484 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4485 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4553 * Checked all of debhelper into CVS.
4554 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
4555 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
4556 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
4557 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
4558 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
4559 it's always available.

4659 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

4823 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4824 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5436 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5437 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5438 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5543 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5544 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5545 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5546 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5547 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5548 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5550 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5551 remove debian/files properly.
5552 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
5553 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
5554 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
5555 * Removed bogus menu file.

5570 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
5571 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
5572 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
5573 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
5574 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

5601 * doc/PROGRAMMING: updated to cover new perl modules.
5602 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
5603 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5604 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
5605 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
5606 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

5615 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5616 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5617 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5618 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5619 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5620 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5621 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5622 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5623 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5624 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5625 passed any switches.

5634 at all for a long while.
5635 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
5636 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
5637 large chunks in the process.
5638 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
5639 install many oddly named files it died on before.

5675 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

5805 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5806 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5807 past week. Thanks, guys!
5809 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5810 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5811 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5812 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5813 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5814 would do in the same situation.
5815 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5816 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5818 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5820 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5821 permissions changed.
5822 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5823 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5824 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5825 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5826 files are treated identically.
5827 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5828 * Minor man page fixes.
5829 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

5840 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5841 use -X multiple times, too.
5842 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5843 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6116 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
6117 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
6118 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6119 are supported. (#16935)

6137 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6138 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

6147 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6148 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
6149 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of

6152 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6153 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6154 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6155 a given package, or -i or -a.
6156 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6157 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6158 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6159 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6160 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6161 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6162 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6163 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6191 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

6239 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6240 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6241 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6242 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6243 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6244 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
