10 * dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
11 running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems

16 or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.

481 specific python version. Closes: #373853
482 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
483 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the

2043 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
2044 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

2151 debhelper (4.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
2153 * Set DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=CVS and debhelper will exclude CVS directories
2154 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
2155 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
2156 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
2157 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
2158 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
2159 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573
2160 * dh_installdebconf: pass --drop-old-templates to debconf-mergetemplate.

2187 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2189 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2190 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2191 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2192 dh_install, which ...
2193 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2194 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2195 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2196 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2197 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2198 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2199 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2200 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2201 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2202 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2203 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2204 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2205 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2206 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2207 other minor changes.
2208 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2209 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2210 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2211 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2212 course there's -X ..)
2213 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2214 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2215 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2217 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2218 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2219 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2220 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2221 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2263 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
2265 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2266 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2267 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2268 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2269 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
2271 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
2272 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

2291 * dh_installxfonts: separate multiple commands with \n so sed doesn't get
2292 upset. Closes: #131322
2294 -- Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net> Tue, 29 Jan 2002 18:58:58 -0500
2296 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2298 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2299 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2300 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2301 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2302 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2303 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2304 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2305 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2306 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2307 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2308 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2309 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2310 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2311 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2312 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2313 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2315 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2319 debhelper (3.4.3) unstable; urgency=low
2321 * Improved dh_installxfonts some more:
2322 - Better indenting of generated code.
2323 - Better ordering of generated code (minor fix).

2327 debhelper (3.4.2) unstable; urgency=low
2329 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
2331 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
2332 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2333 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2334 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2335 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2336 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
2337 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

2348 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2350 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2351 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2352 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2353 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2354 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2355 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2356 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2357 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2358 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
2359 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message
2360 is now output when it runs. Currently used by: 381 packages.
2361 * dh_installxaw is deprecated -- xaw-wrappers in no longer in the
2362 distribution. A warning message is now output when it runs. Currently used

2532 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
2534 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2535 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2536 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2537 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2538 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2539 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2540 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2541 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2542 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2543 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2544 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
2545 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
2546 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2566 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2567 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2568 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2569 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2570 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2571 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2572 program those options go to. So, for example,
2573 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2574 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2575 something complex. Closes: #89311

2715 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2716 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2717 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2718 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2719 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2720 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2721 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2722 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2776 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2778 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2779 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2780 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2781 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2782 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2783 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2784 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2785 but is mildly deprecated.
2786 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2787 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2788 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2789 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2790 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2791 switching to statoverrides..
2792 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2793 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2794 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2795 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2796 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2797 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2799 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2800 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2801 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2802 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2803 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2804 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2805 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2806 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2807 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2809 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2810 variable names, pod man pages).
2811 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2812 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2813 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2814 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2815 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2816 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2817 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2989 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2990 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3039 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3040 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3041 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3042 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3055 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on

3058 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

3231 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
3233 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3234 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3235 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3236 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3237 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3238 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3239 notice until v2 is complete.
3240 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3241 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3242 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3243 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3244 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3245 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3247 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3248 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3249 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3250 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3374 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3375 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3376 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3377 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

3461 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3462 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3463 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3464 bits until all files have been registered.

3475 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3476 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3477 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3478 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3479 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3480 otherwise change the result at all.
3482 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3483 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

3533 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
3534 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
3536 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
3537 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
3538 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

3544 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
3545 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
3546 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
3547 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

3601 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
3602 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3603 I made some changes, though:
3604 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3605 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3606 that is a clear violation of policy.
3607 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3608 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3609 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3610 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3611 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3612 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3613 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3614 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3615 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3617 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3659 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3660 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3661 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3662 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3663 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3782 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3783 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3784 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3785 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3786 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3787 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3788 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3789 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3790 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3791 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3792 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3802 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

4033 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
4034 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
4035 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
4036 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4037 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
4038 * debhelper.1: documented this.
4039 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
4040 current compatability level is equal to that number.
4041 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.
4042 * debhelper itself now builds using DH_COMPAT=2.

4068 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
4069 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install

4113 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4114 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will

4130 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4131 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4549 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4550 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
4551 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
4552 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4553 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4554 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
4555 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
4556 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4741 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4742 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4743 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4744 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4745 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4746 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5112 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5113 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5114 past week. Thanks, guys!
5116 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5117 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5118 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5119 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5120 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5121 would do in the same situation.
5122 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5123 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5125 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5127 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5128 permissions changed.
5129 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5130 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5131 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5132 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5133 files are treated identically.
5134 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5135 * Minor man page fixes.
5136 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

5147 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5148 use -X multiple times, too.

5515 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
5516 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

5524 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
5525 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

5546 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5547 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5548 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5549 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5550 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5551 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5552 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5721 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5722 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5723 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5724 debian/README.debian.
5725 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5726 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5727 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5728 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5729 in a few situations.)

5775 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5778 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5779 the package build directory it is to act on.
5780 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5781 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5782 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
