821 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
822 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained

824 dh_install, which ...
825 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
826 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
827 mess, as it uses debian/install.
828 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
829 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
830 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
831 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
832 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
833 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
834 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
835 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
836 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
837 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
838 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
840 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
841 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
842 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
843 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
844 course there's -X ..)
845 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
846 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
847 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
849 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
850 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

852 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
853 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

928 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
930 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
931 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
932 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
933 line, as well as in debian/rules.
934 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
935 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
936 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
937 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
938 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
939 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
940 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
941 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
942 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
943 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
944 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
945 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
947 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

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

1166 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1167 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1168 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1169 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1170 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1171 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1172 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1173 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1174 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1175 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1176 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
1177 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
1178 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1198 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
1199 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
1200 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1201 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1202 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1203 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1204 program those options go to. So, for example,
1205 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1206 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1348 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
1349 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
1350 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1351 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1352 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1353 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
1354 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

1410 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1411 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1412 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1413 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1414 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1415 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1416 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1417 but is mildly deprecated.
1418 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1419 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1420 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1421 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1422 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1423 switching to statoverrides..
1424 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1425 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1426 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1427 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1428 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1429 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1431 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1432 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1433 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1434 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1435 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1436 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1437 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1438 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1439 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1441 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1442 variable names, pod man pages).
1443 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1444 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1445 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1446 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1447 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1448 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1449 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1610 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
1612 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
1613 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
1614 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
1615 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
1616 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
1617 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1618 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1620 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1621 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1622 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
1624 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
1626 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
1627 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
1628 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
1629 should now be raised to severity important..
1630 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
1631 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

1670 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
1671 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
1672 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
1673 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
1674 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

1689 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
1690 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
1691 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

1863 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
1865 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1866 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1867 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1868 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1869 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1870 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1871 notice until v2 is complete.
1872 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1873 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1874 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1875 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1876 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1877 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1879 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
1880 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
1881 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2090 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
2091 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
2092 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
2093 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2094 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
2095 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
2096 bits until all files have been registered.

2103 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely

2105 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
2106 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
2107 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
2108 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
2109 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
2110 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
2111 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
2112 otherwise change the result at all.
2114 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2115 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2116 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

2134 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2135 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2137 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2138 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2139 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2140 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2234 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2235 I made some changes, though:
2236 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2237 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2238 that is a clear violation of policy.
2239 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2240 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2241 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2242 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2243 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2244 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2245 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2246 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2247 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2249 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2291 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2292 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2293 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2294 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2295 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

2413 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2414 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2415 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2416 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2417 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2418 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2419 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2420 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2421 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2422 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2423 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2424 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2434 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2435 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2436 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2437 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2438 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2439 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

2762 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
2763 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3375 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3376 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3377 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

3552 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
3553 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
3554 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
3555 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
3556 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
3557 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
3558 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
3559 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
3560 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3561 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
3562 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
3563 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
3564 passed any switches.
3565 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

3571 * dh_md5sums: -x was broken since version 1.1.1 - fixed.
3572 * dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used
3573 at all for a long while.
3574 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
3575 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
3576 large chunks in the process.
3577 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
3578 install many oddly named files it died on before.

3597 some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages
3598 that don't always have the same files in them.

3600 additional files to be compressed in the first package acted on.

3612 updating 27 man pages.
3613 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
3614 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
3615 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.

3743 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
3744 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
3745 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
3746 past week. Thanks, guys!
3748 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3749 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3750 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3751 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3752 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3753 would do in the same situation.
3754 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3755 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
3757 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
3759 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
3760 permissions changed.
3761 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
3762 some people enjoy changing root's name.
3763 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
3764 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
3765 files are treated identically.
3766 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
3767 * Minor man page fixes.
3768 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
3769 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
3770 --no-act is on. (#23054)

3777 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
3778 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
3779 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
3780 use -X multiple times, too.
3781 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
3782 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4055 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

4093 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
4094 a given package, or -i or -a.
4095 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
4096 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

4100 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

4181 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
