3 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
4 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
6 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
7 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
8 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
9 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
10 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
11 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
12 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

18 * dh_installudev: Don't fail if the link already somehow exists on initial
19 package install. Closes: #415717
20 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
21 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
22 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
23 script and then remove the python files.
24 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
25 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
26 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
27 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
28 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
29 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
30 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
31 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
32 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
33 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
34 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
35 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have

150 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
152 * Non-maintainer upload.
153 * Update of dh_python
154 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
155 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
156 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
157 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
158 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
159 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
160 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
161 specific python version. Closes: #373853
162 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
163 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
165 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
166 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
167 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
168 the not too-distant future).
169 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
170 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
171 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
172 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
173 thus made the build fail.

543 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
544 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
545 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
546 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
547 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1871 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1872 dh_install, which ...
1873 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1874 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1875 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1876 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1877 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1878 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1879 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1880 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1881 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1882 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1883 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1884 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1885 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1886 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1887 other minor changes.
1888 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1889 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1890 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1891 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1892 course there's -X ..)
1893 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1894 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

1976 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1978 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1979 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1980 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1981 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1982 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1983 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1984 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1985 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1986 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1987 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1988 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1989 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1990 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1991 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1992 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1993 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1995 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2030 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2031 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2032 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2033 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2034 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2035 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2036 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2037 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

2214 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

2216 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2217 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2218 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2219 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2220 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2221 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2222 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2223 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2224 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2226 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2248 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2249 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2250 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2251 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2252 program those options go to. So, for example,
2253 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2254 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2396 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2397 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2398 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2399 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2400 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2401 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2456 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2458 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2459 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2460 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2461 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2462 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2463 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2464 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2465 but is mildly deprecated.
2466 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2467 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2468 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2469 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2470 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2471 switching to statoverrides..
2472 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2473 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2474 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2475 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2476 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2477 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2479 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2480 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2481 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2482 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2483 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2484 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2485 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2486 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2487 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2489 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2490 variable names, pod man pages).
2491 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2492 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2493 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2494 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2495 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2496 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2497 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2567 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2568 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2569 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2570 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2572 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

2574 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
2575 it is an obsolete program.

2662 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2663 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2664 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2665 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2666 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2668 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2669 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2670 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2672 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2674 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2675 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2676 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2677 should now be raised to severity important..
2678 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2679 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2721 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2913 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2914 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2915 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2916 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2917 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2918 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2919 notice until v2 is complete.
2920 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2921 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2922 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2923 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2924 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2925 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2927 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3048 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
3049 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
3050 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
3051 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3052 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3054 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3055 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3056 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3057 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3058 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3059 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
3060 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

3141 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3142 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3143 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3144 bits until all files have been registered.

3155 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3156 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3159 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

3162 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3163 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3282 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3283 I made some changes, though:
3284 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3285 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3286 that is a clear violation of policy.
3287 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3288 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3289 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3290 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3291 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3292 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3293 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3294 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3295 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3297 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3342 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3343 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3465 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3466 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3467 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3468 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3469 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3470 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3471 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3472 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3553 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from

3589 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,

3646 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3716 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except

3793 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses

3810 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3811 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3859 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

4423 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4424 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4425 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4556 * Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in the escaping code, numbers don't need to be
4557 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
4558 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
4559 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
4560 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
4561 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

4590 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
4591 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4602 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
4603 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
4604 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
4605 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
4606 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4607 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4608 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4609 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4610 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4623 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
4624 large chunks in the process.
4625 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
4626 install many oddly named files it died on before.

4793 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4794 past week. Thanks, guys!
4796 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4797 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4798 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4799 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4800 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4801 would do in the same situation.
4802 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4803 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4805 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4807 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4808 permissions changed.
4809 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4810 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4811 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4812 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4813 files are treated identically.
4814 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4827 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4828 use -X multiple times, too.
4829 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4830 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

5103 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

5105 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5106 are supported. (#16935)

5124 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5125 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

5134 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5135 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

5139 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5140 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5141 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5142 a given package, or -i or -a.
5143 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5144 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5145 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5146 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5147 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5148 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5150 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5178 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

5229 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5230 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
