624 specific python version. Closes: #373853
625 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
626 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
628 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
629 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
630 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
631 the not too-distant future).
632 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
633 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

2332 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2333 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2334 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2335 dh_install, which ...
2336 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2337 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2338 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2339 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2340 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2341 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2342 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2343 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2344 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2345 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2346 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2347 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2348 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2349 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2350 other minor changes.
2351 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2352 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2353 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2354 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2355 course there's -X ..)
2356 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2357 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

2360 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2361 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2362 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2363 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

2409 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2411 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2412 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2439 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2441 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2442 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2443 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2444 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2445 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2446 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2447 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2448 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2449 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2450 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2451 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2452 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2453 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2454 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2455 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2456 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2458 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2476 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053

2493 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2494 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2495 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2496 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2497 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2498 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2499 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2500 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2501 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2677 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2678 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2679 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2680 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2681 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2682 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2683 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2684 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2685 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2686 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2687 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2689 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2711 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2712 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2713 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2714 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2715 program those options go to. So, for example,
2716 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2717 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2859 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2860 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2861 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2862 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2863 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2864 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2865 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2919 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2921 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2922 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2923 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2924 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2925 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2926 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2927 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2928 but is mildly deprecated.
2929 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2930 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2931 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2932 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2933 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2934 switching to statoverrides..
2935 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2936 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2937 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2938 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2939 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2940 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2942 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2943 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2944 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2945 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2946 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2947 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2948 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2949 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2950 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2952 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2953 variable names, pod man pages).
2954 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2955 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2956 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2957 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2958 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2959 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2960 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3029 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
3030 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
3031 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
3032 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3033 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
3034 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
3035 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
3036 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
3037 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
3038 it is an obsolete program.

3125 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3126 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3127 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3128 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3129 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3131 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3132 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3133 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3135 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3137 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3138 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3139 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3140 should now be raised to severity important..
3141 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3142 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3376 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3377 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3378 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3379 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3380 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3381 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3382 notice until v2 is complete.
3383 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3384 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3385 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3386 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3387 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3388 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3390 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3601 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3602 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3603 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3604 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3605 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3606 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3607 bits until all files have been registered.

3616 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3617 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3618 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3619 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3620 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3621 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3622 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3623 otherwise change the result at all.
3625 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3626 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3627 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3645 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3646 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3648 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3649 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3650 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3651 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3745 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3746 I made some changes, though:
3747 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3748 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3749 that is a clear violation of policy.
3750 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3751 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3752 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3753 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3754 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3755 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3756 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3757 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3758 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3760 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3802 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
3803 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
3804 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3805 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3806 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3924 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
3925 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3926 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3927 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3928 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3929 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3930 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3931 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3932 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3933 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3934 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3935 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3945 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

4052 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,

4256 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4257 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4258 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4273 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4274 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4886 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new

4888 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

5023 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
5024 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

5053 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5054 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5066 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5067 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5068 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5069 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5070 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5071 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5072 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5073 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5256 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5257 past week. Thanks, guys!
5259 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5260 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5261 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5262 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5263 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5264 would do in the same situation.
5265 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5266 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5268 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5270 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5271 permissions changed.
5272 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5273 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5274 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5275 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5276 files are treated identically.
5277 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5290 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5291 use -X multiple times, too.

5515 debhelper (0.59) unstable; urgency=low
5517 * Added DH_NO_ACT and --no-act, which make debhelper commands run without
5518 actually doing anything. (Combine with -v to see what the command would
5519 have done.) (#17598)

5538 to make it not abort of one of the find's fails.

5544 * dh_clean: delete substvarsfiles probperly again (broken in 0.53). #17077
5545 * Added call to dh_movefiles, and a commented out call to dh_testversion,
5546 to some of the sample rules files. #17076

5550 debhelper (0.54) unstable; urgency=low
5552 * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own
5553 argument processor in perl.
5554 * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
5555 * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,
5556 dh_installinit -u"defaults 10")
5557 * Now depends on perl (needs Getopt::Long).

5563 * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp
5564 type directories. (#16933)
5565 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
5566 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
5567 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
5568 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5569 are supported. (#16935)
5570 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

5575 debhelper (0.52) unstable; urgency=low
5577 * dh_compress: compress file belongs in debian/. It was looking in ./
5578 This has been broken since version 0.30.

5582 debhelper (0.51) unstable; urgency=low
5584 * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
5586 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
5587 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5588 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
5589 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
5590 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.
5591 * Updated Standards-Version to latest.
5593 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 5 Jan 1998 16:15:01 -0500
5595 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
5597 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5598 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
5599 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
5601 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
5602 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5603 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5604 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5605 a given package, or -i or -a.
5606 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5607 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5608 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5609 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5610 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5611 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5612 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5613 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5614 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
5616 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
5617 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
5618 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

5624 * dh_du: Fixed hardcoded debian/tmp.

5633 * dh_undocumented: exit with an error message if the man page specified
5634 does not have a section.

5638 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low
5640 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
5641 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
5642 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
5643 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

5653 debhelper (0.33) unstable; urgency=low
5655 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
5656 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
5657 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
5658 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
5659 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789
5660 * examples/*: use dh_clean -k in the binary targets of all rules files,

5667 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
5668 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
5669 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
5670 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

5687 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
5689 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
5690 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5691 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5692 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5693 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
5694 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
5695 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

5714 * dh_installdirs: Do not create usr/doc/$PACKAGE directory. Bug #15498
5715 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
5716 the dh_* programs (#15497).
5717 * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

5770 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
5771 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
5772 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
5773 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
5774 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

5826 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5827 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5828 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5829 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5833 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5835 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5836 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5837 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5838 multiple binary packages.
5839 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5840 should rebuild them with this version.
5841 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5859 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5861 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5862 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5863 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5864 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5865 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5866 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5867 debian/README.debian.
5868 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5869 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5870 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5871 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5872 in a few situations.)

5906 is ready for general use.
5907 * Added man pages for all commands.
5908 * Multiple binary package support.
5909 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5910 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5911 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5913 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5914 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5915 auto-installed as parameters.
5916 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5918 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5921 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5922 the package build directory it is to act on.
5923 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5924 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5925 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
