9 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
10 contributed by Modestas Vainius
11 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
12 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
13 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
14 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
15 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
16 that support it. Closes: #480577
17 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
18 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
19 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
21 - Adds support for cmake.
22 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
23 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
25 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
27 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
28 that use them. The options are:
29 --sourcedir, --destdir
30 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
31 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
32 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
33 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
34 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

67 * Allow command-specific options to be passed to commands
68 via dh without causing other commands to emit a getopt
69 warning or deprecation message.
70 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
71 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
72 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
73 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
74 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
75 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
76 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

261 such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back
262 to an error. This allows (ab)using DH_OPTIONS to pass command-specific
264 (Note that getopt will warn about such unknown options. Eliminating this

274 complaining about it when it's empty. Closes: #498666
275 * dh: Fix typo in example. Closes: #500836
276 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
277 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
279 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
280 that uses them. Affected options are:
281 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
282 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
283 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

286 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
287 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
288 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
289 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
290 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
291 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
292 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

404 daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
405 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded

2536 * Make dh_installchangelogs install debian/NEWS files as well, as
2537 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
2538 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
2539 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
2540 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
2541 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

2686 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2687 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2688 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2689 dh_install, which ...
2690 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2691 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2692 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2693 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2694 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2695 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2696 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2697 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2698 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2699 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2700 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2701 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2702 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2703 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2704 other minor changes.
2705 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2706 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2707 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2708 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2709 course there's -X ..)
2710 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2711 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2712 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2714 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2715 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2716 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2717 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2718 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2762 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2763 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2764 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2765 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2766 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2793 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2795 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2796 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2797 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2798 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2799 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2800 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2801 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2802 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2803 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2804 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2805 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2806 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2807 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2808 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2809 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2810 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2812 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2829 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2830 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2831 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2832 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2833 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2847 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2848 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2849 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2850 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2851 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2852 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2853 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2854 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2855 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3031 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3032 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3033 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3034 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3035 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3036 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3037 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3038 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3039 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3040 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3041 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
3042 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
3043 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3064 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3065 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3066 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3067 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3068 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3069 program those options go to. So, for example,
3070 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3071 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3213 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these

3215 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3216 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3217 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3218 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3275 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3276 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3277 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3278 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3279 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

3281 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3282 but is mildly deprecated.
3283 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3284 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3285 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3286 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3287 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3288 switching to statoverrides..
3289 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3290 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3291 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3292 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3293 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3294 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3296 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3297 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3298 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3299 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3300 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3301 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3302 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3303 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3304 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3306 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3307 variable names, pod man pages).
3308 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3309 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3310 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3311 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3312 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3313 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3314 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3480 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3485 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3486 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3487 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3489 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

3730 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3731 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3732 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3733 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3734 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3735 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3736 notice until v2 is complete.
3737 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3738 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3739 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3740 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3741 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3742 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3744 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3745 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3746 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3959 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

4100 I made some changes, though:
4101 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4102 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4103 that is a clear violation of policy.
4104 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4105 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4106 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4107 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4108 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4109 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4110 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4111 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4112 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4114 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4158 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4159 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4160 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4282 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4283 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4284 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4285 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4286 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4287 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4288 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4289 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4515 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.
4516 * Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest
4517 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
4518 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

4530 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
4531 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
4532 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
4533 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4534 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

4536 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
4537 current compatability level is equal to that number.

4565 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.

4610 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4611 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4612 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4627 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4628 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4676 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

5030 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
5031 suidregister actually supports it.
5032 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
5033 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

5046 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
5047 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
5048 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
5049 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5050 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
5051 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
5052 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
5053 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

5238 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5239 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5240 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5241 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5242 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5243 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5608 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
5609 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5610 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5611 past week. Thanks, guys!
5613 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5614 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5615 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5616 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5617 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5618 would do in the same situation.
5619 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5620 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5622 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5624 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5625 permissions changed.
5626 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5627 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5628 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5629 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5630 files are treated identically.
5631 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
5632 * Minor man page fixes.
5633 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

5644 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5645 use -X multiple times, too.

6009 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
6010 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
6011 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
6012 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
6013 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

6043 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6044 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6045 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6046 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6047 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6048 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6049 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6218 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6219 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6220 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6221 debian/README.debian.
6222 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6223 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6224 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6225 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6226 in a few situations.)

6272 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6275 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6276 the package build directory it is to act on.
6277 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6278 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6279 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
