47 warning or deprecation message.

49 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
50 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
51 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
52 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
53 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
54 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

257 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
258 that uses them. Affected options are:
259 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
260 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
261 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

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

798 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version

819 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
820 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
821 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
822 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
823 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

826 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in

949 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
950 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

952 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
953 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
954 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
955 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
956 specific python version. Closes: #373853
957 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
958 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
960 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
961 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
962 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
963 the not too-distant future).

2664 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2665 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2666 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2667 dh_install, which ...
2668 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2669 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2670 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2671 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2672 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2673 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2674 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2675 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2676 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2677 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2678 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2679 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2680 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2681 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2682 other minor changes.
2683 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2684 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2685 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2686 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2687 course there's -X ..)
2688 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2689 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2690 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2692 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2693 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2694 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2695 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2696 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2740 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2741 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2742 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2743 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2744 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2771 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2773 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2774 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2775 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2776 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2777 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2778 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2779 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2780 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2781 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2782 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2783 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2784 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2785 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2786 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2787 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2788 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2790 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2807 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2808 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053

2810 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2811 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2825 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2826 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2827 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2828 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2829 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2830 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2831 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2832 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2833 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3012 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3013 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3014 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3015 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3016 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3017 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3018 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3019 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
3020 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
3021 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3041 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3042 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3043 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3044 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3045 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3046 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3047 program those options go to. So, for example,
3048 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3049 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3193 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3194 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3195 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3196 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3253 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3254 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3255 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3256 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3257 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3258 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3259 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3260 but is mildly deprecated.
3261 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3262 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3263 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3264 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3265 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3266 switching to statoverrides..
3267 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3268 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3269 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3270 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3271 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3272 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3274 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3275 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3276 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3277 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3278 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3279 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3280 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3281 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3282 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3284 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3285 variable names, pod man pages).
3286 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3287 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3288 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3289 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3290 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3291 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3292 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3458 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3461 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3463 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3464 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3465 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3513 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
3514 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3515 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3516 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3517 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3529 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
3530 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on

3532 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3533 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

3708 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3709 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3710 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3711 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3712 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3713 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3714 notice until v2 is complete.
3715 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3716 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3717 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3718 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3719 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3720 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3722 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3723 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3724 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3849 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

3936 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3937 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3938 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

3951 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

4020 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This

4078 I made some changes, though:
4079 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4080 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4081 that is a clear violation of policy.
4082 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4083 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4084 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4085 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4086 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4087 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4088 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4089 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4090 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4092 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4260 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4261 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4262 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4263 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4264 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4265 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4266 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4267 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4510 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
4511 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
4512 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

4515 current compatability level is equal to that number.

4588 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4589 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will

4605 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4606 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5026 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
5027 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5028 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
5029 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
5030 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
5031 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

5218 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5219 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5220 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5221 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5587 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5588 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5589 past week. Thanks, guys!
5591 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5592 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5593 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5594 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5595 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5596 would do in the same situation.
5597 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5598 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5600 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5602 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5603 permissions changed.
5604 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5605 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5606 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5607 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5608 files are treated identically.
5609 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5622 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5623 use -X multiple times, too.

6000 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
6001 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
6002 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

6021 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6022 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6023 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6024 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6025 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6026 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6027 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6102 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6103 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6104 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6105 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6106 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6168 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6169 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6170 multiple binary packages.
6171 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6172 should rebuild them with this version.

6193 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6194 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6195 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6196 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6197 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6198 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6199 debian/README.debian.
6200 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6201 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6202 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6203 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6204 in a few situations.)

6243 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6245 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6246 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6247 auto-installed as parameters.
6248 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6250 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6253 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6254 the package build directory it is to act on.
6255 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6256 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6257 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
