34 * Correct some incorrect instances of "v4 only" in docs. Closes: #381536
35 * dh_installinfo: Put the section madness to bed by not passing any section

68 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of

71 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
72 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
73 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.

93 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
95 * Non-maintainer upload.
97 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
98 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
99 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
100 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
101 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
102 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
103 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
104 specific python version. Closes: #373853
105 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
106 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
108 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
109 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
110 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
111 the not too-distant future).
112 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
113 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
114 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
115 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
116 thus made the build fail.

1812 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1813 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1814 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1815 dh_install, which ...
1816 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1817 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1818 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1819 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1820 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1821 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1822 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1823 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1824 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1825 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1826 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1827 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1828 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1829 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1830 other minor changes.
1831 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1832 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1833 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1834 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1835 course there's -X ..)
1836 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1837 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1838 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1840 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1841 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1842 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1843 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1844 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1889 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

1891 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1892 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1919 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1921 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1922 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1923 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1924 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1925 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1926 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1927 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1928 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1929 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1930 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1931 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1932 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1933 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1934 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1935 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1936 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1938 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1955 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
1956 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053

1973 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1974 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1975 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1976 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1977 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1978 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1979 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1980 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1981 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2157 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
2158 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
2159 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2160 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2161 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2162 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2163 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2164 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2165 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2166 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2167 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2169 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2189 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2190 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2191 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2192 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2193 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2194 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2195 program those options go to. So, for example,
2196 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2197 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2198 something complex. Closes: #89311

2336 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for

2338 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
2339 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2340 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2341 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2342 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2343 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2344 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2345 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
2346 Closes: #88464, #77743

2399 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2401 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2402 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2403 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2404 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2405 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2406 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2407 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2408 but is mildly deprecated.
2409 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2410 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2411 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2412 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2413 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2414 switching to statoverrides..
2415 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2416 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2417 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2418 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2419 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2420 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2422 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2423 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2424 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2425 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2426 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2427 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2428 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2429 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2430 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2432 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2433 variable names, pod man pages).
2434 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2435 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2436 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2437 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2438 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2439 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2440 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2604 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2605 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2606 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2607 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2608 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2609 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2611 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2612 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2613 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2615 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2617 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2618 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2619 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2620 should now be raised to severity important..
2621 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2622 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2664 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2681 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

2856 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2857 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2858 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2859 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2860 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2861 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2862 notice until v2 is complete.
2863 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2864 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2865 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2866 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2867 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2868 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2870 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3081 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
3082 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3083 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3084 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3085 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3086 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3087 bits until all files have been registered.

3096 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3097 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3098 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3099 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3100 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3101 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3102 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3103 otherwise change the result at all.
3105 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3106 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3107 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3125 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3126 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3128 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3129 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3130 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3131 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3225 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3226 I made some changes, though:
3227 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3228 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3229 that is a clear violation of policy.
3230 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3231 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3232 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3233 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3234 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3235 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3236 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3237 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3238 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3240 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3284 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3285 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3286 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3405 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
3406 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
3407 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
3408 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3409 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3410 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3411 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3412 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3413 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3414 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3415 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3425 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

3578 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
3579 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
3580 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable

3586 debhelper (2.0.09) unstable; urgency=low
3588 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
3589 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3659 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
3660 dh_movefiles still uses it.)

3754 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4366 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4367 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4368 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4549 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4550 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4551 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4552 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4553 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
4554 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
4555 passed any switches.
4556 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

4736 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4737 past week. Thanks, guys!
4739 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4740 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4741 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4742 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4743 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4744 would do in the same situation.
4745 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4746 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4748 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4750 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4751 permissions changed.
4752 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4753 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4754 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4755 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4756 files are treated identically.
4757 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4770 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4771 use -X multiple times, too.

5045 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
5046 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
5047 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
5048 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5049 are supported. (#16935)
5050 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

5084 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5085 a given package, or -i or -a.
5086 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5087 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

5091 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5172 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
