3 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
4 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
6 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
7 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
8 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
9 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
10 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
11 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
12 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
13 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
14 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

20 * dh_installudev: Don't fail if the link already somehow exists on initial
21 package install. Closes: #415717
22 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
23 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
24 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
25 script and then remove the python files.
26 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
27 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
28 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
29 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
30 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
31 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
32 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
33 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
34 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
35 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
36 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
37 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have
38 /etc/network/if-up.d, etc files. Closes: #217552

154 * Non-maintainer upload.
155 * Update of dh_python
156 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
157 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
158 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
159 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
160 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
161 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
162 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
163 specific python version. Closes: #373853
164 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
165 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
167 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
168 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
169 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
170 the not too-distant future).
171 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
172 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
173 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
174 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

545 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
546 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
547 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
548 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
549 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1874 dh_install, which ...
1875 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1876 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1877 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1878 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1879 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1880 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1881 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1882 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1883 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1884 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1885 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1886 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1887 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1888 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1889 other minor changes.
1890 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1891 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.

1895 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks

1978 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
1980 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
1981 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
1982 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
1983 line, as well as in debian/rules.
1984 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
1985 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
1986 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
1987 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
1988 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
1989 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
1990 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
1991 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
1992 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
1993 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
1994 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
1995 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
1997 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2030 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2032 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2033 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2034 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2035 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2036 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2037 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2038 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2039 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2040 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2216 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

2218 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2219 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2220 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2221 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2222 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2223 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2224 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2225 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2226 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2250 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2251 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2252 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2253 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2254 program those options go to. So, for example,
2255 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2256 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

2400 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2401 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2402 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2403 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2458 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
2460 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2461 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2462 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2463 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2464 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2465 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2466 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2467 but is mildly deprecated.
2468 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2469 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2470 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2471 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2472 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2473 switching to statoverrides..
2474 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2475 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2476 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2477 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2478 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2479 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2481 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2482 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2483 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2484 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2485 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2486 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2487 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2488 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2489 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2491 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2492 variable names, pod man pages).
2493 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2494 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2495 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2496 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2497 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2498 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2499 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2569 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
2570 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
2571 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2572 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
2573 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
2574 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
2575 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
2576 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
2577 it is an obsolete program.

2663 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
2664 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
2665 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2666 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2667 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2668 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2670 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2671 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2672 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2674 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2676 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2677 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2678 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2679 should now be raised to severity important..
2680 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
2681 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

2723 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2915 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2916 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2917 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2918 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2919 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2920 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2921 notice until v2 is complete.
2922 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2923 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2924 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2925 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2926 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2927 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
2929 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3048 * Patch from Jorgen `forcer' Schaefer <forcer at mindless.com> (much
3049 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
3050 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
3051 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
3052 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
3053 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3054 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3056 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3057 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3058 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3059 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3060 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3061 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
3062 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

3142 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3143 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3144 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3145 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3146 bits until all files have been registered.

3155 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
3156 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3157 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3158 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3159 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3160 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3161 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3162 otherwise change the result at all.
3164 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3165 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3166 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3184 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3185 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3187 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3188 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3189 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3190 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3284 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3285 I made some changes, though:
3286 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3287 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3288 that is a clear violation of policy.
3289 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3290 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3291 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3292 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3293 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3294 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3295 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3296 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3297 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3299 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3343 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3344 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3345 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3467 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3468 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3469 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3470 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3471 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3472 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3473 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3474 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

3542 * Checked all of debhelper into CVS.
3543 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
3544 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
3545 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
3546 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
3547 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
3548 it's always available.

3554 * Wow. It turns out dh_installdocs has been doing it wrong and doc-base
3555 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from
3556 Peter Moulder <reiter@netspace.net.au> to make it use those id's instead
3557 of coming up with it's own. (Closes: #42650)

3591 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
3592 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this

3718 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except

3795 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
3796 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
3797 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

3812 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3813 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

3861 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

4174 legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes
4175 postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages

4182 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4183 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
4184 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
4185 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

4210 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4211 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4212 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4213 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
4214 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
4215 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
4216 suidregister actually supports it.
4217 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
4218 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

4231 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
4232 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
4233 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
4234 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
4235 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
4236 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
4237 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
4238 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

4266 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
4267 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
4268 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
4269 effect, either. (#30118)

4404 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4405 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4406 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4407 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4422 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4423 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4424 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4425 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4426 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4427 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4428 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4543 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

4593 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

4608 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4609 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4610 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4611 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4612 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4795 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4796 past week. Thanks, guys!
4798 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4799 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4800 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4801 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4802 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4803 would do in the same situation.
4804 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4805 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4807 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4809 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4810 permissions changed.
4811 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4812 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4813 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4814 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4815 files are treated identically.
4816 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4829 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4830 use -X multiple times, too.

5105 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

5107 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5108 are supported. (#16935)

5126 version requirements in the shlibs file.
5127 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

5136 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
5137 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
5138 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of

5141 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
5142 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
5143 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5144 a given package, or -i or -a.
5145 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5146 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5147 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5148 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5149 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5150 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5151 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5152 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
5153 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a

5156 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

5180 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

5229 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
5230 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5231 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5232 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
