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

1825 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1826 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1827 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1828 dh_install, which ...
1829 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1830 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1831 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1832 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1833 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1834 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1835 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1836 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1837 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1838 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1839 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1840 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1841 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1842 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1843 other minor changes.
1844 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1845 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1846 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1847 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1848 course there's -X ..)
1849 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1850 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1851 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1853 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1854 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1855 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1856 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1857 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1902 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1904 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1905 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1932 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1934 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1935 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1936 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1937 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1938 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1939 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1940 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1941 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1942 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1943 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1944 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1945 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1946 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1947 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1948 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1949 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1951 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1969 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053

1986 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1987 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1988 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1989 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1990 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1991 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1992 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1993 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1994 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2170 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2171 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2172 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2173 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2174 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2175 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2176 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2177 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2178 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2179 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2180 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2181 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2182 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2202 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2203 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2204 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2205 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2206 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2207 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2208 program those options go to. So, for example,
2209 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2210 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2211 something complex. Closes: #89311

2351 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2352 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2353 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2354 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2355 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2356 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2357 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2358 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2412 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2414 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2415 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2416 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2417 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2418 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2419 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2420 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2421 but is mildly deprecated.
2422 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2423 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2424 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2425 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2426 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2427 switching to statoverrides..
2428 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2429 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2430 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2431 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2432 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2433 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2435 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2436 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2437 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2438 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2439 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2440 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2441 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2442 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2443 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2445 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2446 variable names, pod man pages).
2447 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2448 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2449 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2450 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2451 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2452 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2453 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2614 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
2616 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2617 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2618 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2619 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2620 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2621 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2622 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2624 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2625 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2626 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2628 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2630 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2631 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2632 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2633 should now be raised to severity important..
2634 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2635 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2675 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2676 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2677 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2678 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2693 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2694 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2695 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2869 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2870 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2871 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2872 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2873 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2874 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2875 notice until v2 is complete.
2876 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2877 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2878 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2879 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2880 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2881 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2883 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2884 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2885 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3094 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3095 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3096 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3097 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3098 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3099 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3100 bits until all files have been registered.

3109 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3110 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3111 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3112 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3113 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3114 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3115 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3116 otherwise change the result at all.
3118 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3119 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3120 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3138 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3139 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3141 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3142 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3143 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3144 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3238 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3239 I made some changes, though:
3240 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3241 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3242 that is a clear violation of policy.
3243 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3244 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3245 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3246 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3247 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3248 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3249 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3250 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3251 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3253 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3295 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make

3297 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3298 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3299 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3418 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3419 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3420 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3421 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3422 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3423 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3424 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3425 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3426 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3427 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3428 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3438 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

4379 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4380 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4381 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4556 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
4557 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
4558 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4559 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4560 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4561 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4562 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4563 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4564 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4565 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4566 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4567 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4568 passed any switches.
4569 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

4575 * dh_md5sums: -x was broken since version 1.1.1 - fixed.
4576 * dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used
4577 at all for a long while.
4578 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
4579 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
4580 large chunks in the process.
4581 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4582 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4601 some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages
4602 that don't always have the same files in them.

4604 additional files to be compressed in the first package acted on.

4616 updating 27 man pages.
4617 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
4618 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

4747 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4748 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4749 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4750 past week. Thanks, guys!
4752 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4753 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4754 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4755 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4756 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4757 would do in the same situation.
4758 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4759 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4761 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4763 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4764 permissions changed.
4765 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4766 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4767 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4768 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4769 files are treated identically.
4770 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4771 * Minor man page fixes.
4772 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4773 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4774 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4781 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4782 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4783 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4784 use -X multiple times, too.
4785 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4786 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5097 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5098 a given package, or -i or -a.
5099 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5100 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5185 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
