1253 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1254 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1255 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1256 dh_install, which ...
1257 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1258 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1259 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1260 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1261 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1262 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1263 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1264 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1265 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1266 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1267 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1268 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1269 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1270 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1271 other minor changes.
1272 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1273 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1274 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1275 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1276 course there's -X ..)
1277 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1278 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1279 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1281 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1282 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1283 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1284 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1285 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1329 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1330 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1331 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1332 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1333 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

1360 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1362 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1363 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1364 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1365 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1366 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1367 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1368 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1369 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1370 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1371 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1372 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1373 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1374 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1375 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1376 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1377 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1379 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

1396 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
1397 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
1398 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
1399 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

1412 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
1414 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
1415 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
1416 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
1417 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
1418 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
1419 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
1420 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
1421 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
1422 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1598 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
1599 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
1600 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
1601 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
1602 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
1603 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
1604 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
1605 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
1606 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
1607 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
1608 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

1610 prefixed with ".debhelper")

1632 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
1633 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
1634 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
1635 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
1636 program those options go to. So, for example,
1637 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
1638 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

1782 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1783 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1784 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1785 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1842 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1843 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1844 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1845 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1846 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1847 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1848 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1849 but is mildly deprecated.
1850 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1851 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1852 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1853 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1854 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1855 switching to statoverrides..
1856 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1857 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1858 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1859 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1860 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1861 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1863 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1864 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1865 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1866 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1867 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1868 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1869 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1870 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1871 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1873 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1874 variable names, pod man pages).
1875 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1876 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1877 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1878 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1879 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1880 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1881 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2034 * Reverted the change to make debian/README be treated as README.Debian,
2035 after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
2036 itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
2037 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
2038 backwards-compatability.

2042 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
2044 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
2045 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2046 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2047 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2048 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2049 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2050 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2052 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2053 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2054 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2056 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2058 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2059 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2060 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2061 should now be raised to severity important..
2062 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2063 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2102 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
2103 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
2104 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
2105 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
2106 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

2119 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
2120 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
2121 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
2122 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
2123 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

2297 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2298 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2299 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2300 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2301 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2302 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2303 notice until v2 is complete.
2304 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2305 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2306 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2307 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2308 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2309 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2311 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
2312 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
2313 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

2435 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
2436 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
2438 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
2439 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
2440 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
2441 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

2525 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
2526 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

2528 bits until all files have been registered.

2544 otherwise change the result at all.
2546 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
2547 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
2548 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
2549 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

2563 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
2564 act on files that don't exist.
2565 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
2566 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
2567 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
2569 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
2570 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
2571 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
2572 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

2590 * Oh, the build dependancies include all of debhelper's regular
2591 dependancies as well, since it builds using itself.

2595 debhelper (2.0.70) unstable; urgency=low
2597 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
2598 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
2600 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
2601 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
2602 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

2606 debhelper (2.0.69) unstable; urgency=low
2608 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
2609 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
2610 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
2611 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
2612 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
2613 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
2614 does not compress. Closes: #41733
2615 * Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case
2617 * dh_movefiles: force owner and group of installed files to be root.
2619 * Closes: #42650, #47175 -- they've been fixed forever.

2663 * Fixed problem with dh_installemacsen options not working, patch from
2664 Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@icp.inpg.fr>, Closes: #47738
2665 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
2666 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
2667 I made some changes, though:
2668 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
2669 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
2670 that is a clear violation of policy.
2671 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
2672 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
2673 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
2674 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
2675 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
2676 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
2677 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
2678 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
2679 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
2681 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2691 debhelper (2.0.60) unstable; urgency=low
2693 * dh_compress: After compressing an executable, changes the file mode to
2694 644. Executable .gz files are silly. Closes: #46383

2698 debhelper (2.0.59) unstable; urgency=low
2700 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
2701 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
2702 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

2722 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
2723 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
2724 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
2725 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
2726 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
2727 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
2728 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
2729 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

2844 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
2845 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2846 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2847 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2848 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2849 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2850 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2851 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2852 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2853 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2854 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2855 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2856 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2862 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2863 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2864 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2866 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2867 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2868 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2869 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2870 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2871 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
2873 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
2874 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

3066 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
3067 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base

3177 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3178 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will

3194 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3195 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3564 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
3565 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

3567 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

3592 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
3593 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
3594 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
3595 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

3598 suidregister actually supports it.
3599 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various

3807 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3808 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3809 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

4039 * New unstable branch of debhelper.
4041 * TODO: list all current bugs, in order I plan to tackle them.
4042 * Added debhelper.1 man page, which groups all the debhelper options that
4043 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
4044 updating 27 man pages.
4045 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
4046 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
4047 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.
4048 * dh_*: -N option now excludes a package from the list of packages the
4049 programs act on. (#25247)

4057 * This relelase is not really intended for stable. I throw a copy into
4058 stable-updates because I want it to be available as an upgrade for
4059 people using debian 2.0 (the current version in debian 2.0 has no
4060 critical bugs, but this version is of course a lot nicer), and I plan
4061 to start work on a new branch of debhelper that will fix many wishlist
4062 bug reports, and of course introduce many new bugs, and which will go

4119 * dh_fixperms: applied patch from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
4120 to fix bad uses of the find command, so it should now work on packages
4121 with files with spaces in them (#22005). It's also much cleaner. Thanks,

4173 debhelper (0.90) unstable; urgency=low
4175 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
4176 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
4177 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4178 past week. Thanks, guys!
4180 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4181 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4182 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4183 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4184 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4185 would do in the same situation.
4186 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4187 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4189 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4191 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4192 permissions changed.
4193 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4194 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4195 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4196 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4197 files are treated identically.
4198 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
4199 * Minor man page fixes.
4200 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
4201 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
4202 --no-act is on. (#23054)

4208 * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
4209 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
4210 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
4211 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4212 use -X multiple times, too.
4213 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
4214 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

4235 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
4236 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
4237 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
4238 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
4239 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
4240 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
4241 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
4242 shape if you're starting a new package.

4271 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
4272 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
4273 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
4274 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package

4341 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.

4533 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
4534 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
4535 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
4537 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
4538 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is
4539 not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck.

4561 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
4562 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
4563 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
4564 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

4610 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
4611 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
4612 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
4613 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
4614 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
4615 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
4616 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

4692 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
4693 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
4694 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
4695 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

4759 multiple binary packages.

4784 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4785 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4786 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4787 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4788 debian/README.debian.
4789 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4790 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4791 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4792 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4793 in a few situations.)

4839 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4842 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4843 the package build directory it is to act on.
4844 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4845 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4846 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
