142 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
143 contributed by Modestas Vainius
144 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
145 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
146 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
147 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
148 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
149 that support it. Closes: #480577
150 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
151 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
152 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
154 - Adds support for cmake.
155 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
156 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
158 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
160 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
161 that use them. The options are:
162 --sourcedir, --destdir
163 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
164 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
165 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
166 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
167 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

210 a dangling symlink, installing the dangling link as requested.
212 * dh_install: Fix fallback use of debian/tmp in v7 mode; a bug caused

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

450 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
451 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
452 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
453 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
454 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1022 * Correct typo in french translation
1025 * Typo. Closes: #400571

1032 * dh_fixperms: Make all files in /usr/include 644, not only .h files.
1034 * Man page improvements. Closes: #406707
1035 * dh_installdocs: In v5 mode, now ignore empty files even if they're hidden
1036 away inside a subdirectory. The code missed this before. See #200905
1037 * dh_installudev: Support debian/udev files. Closes: #381854
1038 * dh_installudev: Treat --priority value as a string so that leading zeros
1039 can be used (also so that a leading "z" that is not "z60" can be
1040 specified). Closes: #381851

1103 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
1104 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
1105 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.
1106 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
1107 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
1108 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
1109 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
1110 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

1131 * Non-maintainer upload.
1132 * Update of dh_python
1133 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1134 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1135 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1136 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1137 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1138 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1139 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1140 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1141 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1142 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1144 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1145 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1146 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1147 the not too-distant future).
1148 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1149 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
1150 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
1151 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
1152 thus made the build fail.

1166 package is installed for a kernel other than the running kernel, just
1167 running depmod -a in the postinst is no longer sufficient. Instead, run

1524 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
1525 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
1526 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.
1527 * debhelper.1: Explicitly document that docs describe latest compat
1528 level and changes from earlier levels are concentrated in the
1529 "Debhelper compatibility levels" section of debhelper.1. Closes: #336906

2849 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2850 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2851 dh_install, which ...
2852 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2853 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2854 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2855 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2856 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2857 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2858 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2859 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2860 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2861 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2862 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2863 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2864 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2865 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2866 other minor changes.
2867 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2868 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2869 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2870 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2871 course there's -X ..)
2872 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2873 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

2876 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2877 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

2955 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2957 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2958 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2959 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2960 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2961 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2962 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2963 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2964 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2965 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2966 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2967 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2968 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2969 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2970 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2971 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2972 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2974 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3009 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3010 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3011 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3012 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3013 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3014 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3015 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3016 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

3196 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3197 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3198 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3199 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3200 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3201 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3202 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3203 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3227 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3228 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3229 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3230 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3231 program those options go to. So, for example,
3232 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3233 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3375 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3376 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3377 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3378 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3379 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3380 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3437 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3438 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3439 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3440 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3441 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3442 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3443 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3444 but is mildly deprecated.
3445 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3446 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3447 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3448 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3449 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3450 switching to statoverrides..
3451 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3452 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3453 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3454 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3455 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3456 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3458 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3459 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3460 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3461 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3462 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3463 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3464 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3465 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3466 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3468 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3469 variable names, pod man pages).
3470 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3471 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3472 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3473 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3474 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3475 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3476 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3546 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
3547 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
3548 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3549 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3551 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

3553 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
3554 it is an obsolete program.

3641 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3642 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3643 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3644 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3645 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3647 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3648 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3649 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3651 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3653 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3654 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3655 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
3656 should now be raised to severity important..
3657 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
3658 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

3700 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

3892 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3893 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3894 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3895 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3896 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3897 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3898 notice until v2 is complete.
3899 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3900 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3901 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3902 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3903 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3904 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3906 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4027 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
4028 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
4029 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
4030 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4031 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4033 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4034 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4035 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4036 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4037 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4038 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
4039 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

4119 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4120 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4121 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4122 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4123 bits until all files have been registered.

4133 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4134 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4135 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

4137 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4138 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4139 otherwise change the result at all.
4141 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4142 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4143 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4261 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4262 I made some changes, though:
4263 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4264 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4265 that is a clear violation of policy.
4266 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4267 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4268 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4269 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4270 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4271 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4272 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4273 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4274 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4276 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4320 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4321 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4322 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4444 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4445 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4446 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4447 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4448 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4449 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4450 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4451 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4532 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from

4568 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,

4625 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

4789 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4790 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5535 * Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in the escaping code, numbers don't need to be
5536 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
5537 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
5538 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
5539 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
5540 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

5569 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5570 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5581 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5582 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5583 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5584 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5585 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5586 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5587 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5588 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5589 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5603 large chunks in the process.

5772 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5773 past week. Thanks, guys!
5775 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5776 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5777 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5778 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5779 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5780 would do in the same situation.
5781 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5782 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5784 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5786 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5787 permissions changed.
5788 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5789 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5790 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5791 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5792 files are treated identically.
5793 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5806 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5807 use -X multiple times, too.
5808 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5809 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6082 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6084 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6085 are supported. (#16935)

6103 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6104 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

6113 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6114 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
6115 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of

6118 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6119 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6120 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6121 a given package, or -i or -a.
6122 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6123 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6124 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6125 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6126 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6127 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6128 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6129 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6157 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

6208 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6209 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
