1117 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1118 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1119 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1120 dh_install, which ...
1121 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1122 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1123 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1124 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1125 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1126 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1127 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1128 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1129 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1130 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1131 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1132 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1133 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1134 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1135 other minor changes.
1136 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1137 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1138 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1139 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1140 course there's -X ..)
1141 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1142 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1143 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1145 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1146 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1147 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1148 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1149 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1196 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1197 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1224 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1226 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1227 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1228 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1229 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1230 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1231 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1232 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1233 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1234 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1235 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1236 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1237 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1238 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1239 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1240 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1241 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1243 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1278 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1279 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1280 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1281 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1282 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1283 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1284 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1285 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1286 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1646 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1647 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies

1706 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1707 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1708 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1709 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1710 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

1712 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1713 but is mildly deprecated.
1714 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1715 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1716 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1717 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1718 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1719 switching to statoverrides..
1720 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1721 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1722 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1723 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1724 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1725 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1727 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1728 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1729 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1730 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1731 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1732 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1733 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1734 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1735 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1737 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1738 variable names, pod man pages).
1739 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1740 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1741 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1742 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1743 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1744 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1745 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1817 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
1818 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

1911 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1917 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1918 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

2159 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
2161 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2162 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2163 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2164 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2165 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2166 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2167 notice until v2 is complete.
2168 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2169 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2170 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2171 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2172 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2173 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2175 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2176 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2177 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
2178 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

2299 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2300 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2302 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2303 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2304 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2305 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2389 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2390 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2391 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2392 bits until all files have been registered.

2402 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2403 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2404 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2405 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2406 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2407 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2408 otherwise change the result at all.
2410 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2411 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

2531 I made some changes, though:
2532 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2533 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2534 that is a clear violation of policy.
2535 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2536 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2537 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2538 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2539 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2540 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2541 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's

2710 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2711 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2712 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2713 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2714 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2715 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2716 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2717 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2718 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2719 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2720 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3652 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

3668 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3669 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3670 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3671 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3672 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3673 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3674 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3713 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3714 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3715 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3716 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3717 things you don't want them to.

3856 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem

4045 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4046 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4047 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4048 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4049 would do in the same situation.
4050 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4051 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4053 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4055 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4056 permissions changed.
4057 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4058 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4059 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4060 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4061 files are treated identically.
4062 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4063 * Minor man page fixes.
4064 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4065 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4066 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4072 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
4073 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4074 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4075 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4076 use -X multiple times, too.
4077 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4078 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4084 * dh_strip: strip .comment and .note, not comment and note, when stripping

4099 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
4100 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
4101 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
4102 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
4103 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4104 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
4105 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
4106 shape if you're starting a new package.

4135 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
4136 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
4137 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
4138 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package

4205 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
4206 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
4207 do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
4208 no packages use the old behavior.

4372 version requirements in the shlibs file.
4373 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

4380 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
4382 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
4383 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

4387 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
4388 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
4389 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4390 a given package, or -i or -a.
4391 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4392 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
4393 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
4394 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
4395 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
4396 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
4397 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4398 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4401 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that

4554 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
4555 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
4556 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4557 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4558 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4559 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4610 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
4611 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
4612 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
4613 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
4614 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

4618 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
4620 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4621 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4622 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4623 multiple binary packages.
4624 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4625 should rebuild them with this version.
4626 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4644 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4646 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4647 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4648 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4649 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4650 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4651 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4652 debian/README.debian.
4653 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4654 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4655 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4656 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4657 in a few situations.)

4688 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4690 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4691 is ready for general use.
4692 * Added man pages for all commands.
4693 * Multiple binary package support.
4694 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4695 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4696 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4698 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4699 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4700 auto-installed as parameters.
4701 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4703 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4706 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4707 the package build directory it is to act on.
4708 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4709 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4710 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
