debhelper (0.65) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs.1, dh_movefiles.1: cleaified documentation for Che. -- Joey Hess Mon, 2 Mar 1998 17:20:39 -0800 debhelper (0.64) unstable; urgency=low * Removed some junk (a whole old debhelper source tree!) that had gotten into the source package by accident. -- Joey Hess Mon, 23 Feb 1998 20:23:34 -0800 debhelper (0.63) unstable; urgency=low * Removed some debugging output from dh_installmanpages. * du_du: no longer does anything, becuase it has been decided on debian-policy that du control files are bad. * examples/*: removed dh_du calls. * debian/rules: removed dh_du call. * Modified dh_gencontrol, dh_makeshlibs, and dh_md5sums to generate files with the correct permissions even if the umask is set to unusual values. (#18283) -- Joey Hess Mon, 16 Feb 1998 23:34:36 -0800 debhelper (0.62) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmanpages: if the man page filename ends in 'x', install it in /usr/X11R6/man/. * TODO: expanded descriptions of stuff, in the hope someone else will get inspired to implement some of it. * Also added all wishlist bugs to the TODO. -- Joey Hess Thu, 12 Feb 1998 22:38:53 -0800 debhelper (0.61) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmanpages: Add / to end of egrep -v regexp, fixes it so debian/icewm.1 can be found. -- Joey Hess Wed, 11 Feb 1998 09:09:28 -0800 debhelper (0.60) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: make all files readable and writable by owner (policy 3.3.8 paragraph 2). Lintian found lots of bugs that will be fixed by this change. -- Joey Hess Mon, 9 Feb 1998 12:26:13 -0800 debhelper (0.59) unstable; urgency=low * Added DH_NO_ACT and --no-act, which make debhelper commands run without actually doing anything. (Combine with -v to see what the command would have done.) (#17598) -- Joey Hess Sun, 1 Feb 1998 14:51:08 -0800 debhelper (0.58) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed bug #17597 - DH_VERBOSE wasn'talways taking effect. -- Joey Hess Wed, 28 Jan 1998 17:18:17 -0500 debhelper (0.57) unstable; urgency=low * Depend on perl 5.004 or greater (for Getopt::Long). -- Joey Hess Sat, 17 Jan 1998 02:12:06 -0500 debhelper (0.56) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: Applied patch from Yann Dirson , to make it not abort of one of the find's fails. -- Joey Hess Thu, 15 Jan 1998 19:16:48 -0500 debhelper (0.55) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: delete substvarsfiles probperly again (broken in 0.53). #17077 * Added call to dh_movefiles, and a commented out call to dh_testversion, to some of the sample rules files. #17076 -- Joey Hess Wed, 14 Jan 1998 12:48:43 -0500 debhelper (0.54) unstable; urgency=low * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own argument processor in perl. * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them. * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie, dh_installinit -u"defaults 10") * Now depends on perl (needs Getopt::Long). -- Joey Hess Sat, 10 Jan 1998 15:44:09 -0500 debhelper (0.53) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp type directories. (#16933) * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now use debian/.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934) * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights are supported. (#16935) * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages. (#16932) -- Joey Hess Sat, 10 Jan 1998 11:30:12 -0500 debhelper (0.52) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: compress file belongs in debian/. It was looking in ./ This has been broken since version 0.30. -- Joey Hess Tue, 6 Jan 1998 14:08:31 -0500 debhelper (0.51) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with policy. (#16644) * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit version requirements in the shlibs file. * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}: Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the command line apply to ALL packages acted on. * Updated Standards-Version to latest. -- Joey Hess Mon, 5 Jan 1998 16:15:01 -0500 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly. * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of debhelper to build. * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}: behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on a given package, or -i or -a. * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules. * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered, and debhelper's behavior has altered. * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this is not going to affect any packages currently in debian. * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog. * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a perl script. * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck. -- Joey Hess Sat, 3 Jan 1998 14:36:15 -0500 debhelper (0.37) unstable; urgency=low * dh_du: Fixed hardcoded debian/tmp. * This change got lost by accident, redid it: Optimized out most of the slowdown caused by using dpkg-parsechangelog - now it's only called by 2 dh_* programs. -- Joey Hess Sun, 28 Dec 1997 20:45:22 -0500 debhelper (0.36) unstable; urgency=low * dh_undocumented: exit with an error message if the man page specified does not have a section. -- Joey Hess Sat, 27 Dec 1997 14:14:04 -0500 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-) * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Dec 1997 22:19:39 -0500 debhelper (0.34) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed typo #16215. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Dec 1997 14:41:46 -0500 debhelper (0.33) unstable; urgency=low * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that. Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp. * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789 * examples/*: use dh_clean -k in the binary targets of all rules files, for safety. -- Joey Hess Thu, 11 Dec 1997 19:05:41 -0500 debhelper (0.32) unstable; urgency=low * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps, and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated. * Added an examples/rules.indep file. * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep section. -- Joey Hess Wed, 10 Dec 1997 19:53:13 -0500 debhelper (0.31) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed man page typos #15685. -- Joey Hess Sat, 6 Dec 1997 21:44:58 -0500 debhelper (0.30) unstable; urgency=low * dh_md5sumes, dh_installdirs, dh_compress: fixed assorted cd bugs. -- Joey Hess Fri, 5 Dec 1997 15:08:36 -0500 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else. * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;', `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection) * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean, dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit(). -- Joey Hess Thu, 4 Dec 1997 13:56:14 -0500 debhelper (0.28) unstable; urgency=low * dh_makeshlibs: fixes type that caused the program to crash (#15536). -- Joey Hess Wed, 3 Dec 1997 13:22:48 -0500 debhelper (0.27) unstable; urgency=low * README: fixed typoes (one serious). * Ran ispell on all the documentation. -- Joey Hess Sun, 30 Nov 1997 18:48:20 -0500 debhelper (0.26) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdirs: Do not create usr/doc/$PACKAGE directory. Bug #15498 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of the dh_* programs (#15497). * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499). -- Joey Hess Sun, 30 Nov 1997 13:01:40 -0500 debhelper (0.25) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: was not reading debian/compress file - fixed. * examples/*: moved dh_clean call to after make clean is run. -- Joey Hess Tue, 25 Nov 1997 15:43:58 -0500 debhelper (0.24) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: no longer clean up empty (0 byte) files (#15240). -- Joey Hess Tue, 25 Nov 1997 14:29:37 -0500 debhelper (0.23) unstable; urgency=low * Now depends on fileutils (>= 3.16-4), becuase with any earlier version of fileutils, install -p will not work (#14680) -- Joey Hess Wed, 19 Nov 1997 23:59:43 -0500 debhelper (0.22) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs: Install README.debian as README.Debian (of course, README.Debian is installed with the same name..) -- Joey Hess Tue, 18 Nov 1997 01:23:53 -0500 debhelper (0.21) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installinit: on removal, fixed how update-rc.d is called. -- Joey Hess Sat, 15 Nov 1997 20:43:14 -0500 debhelper (0.20) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_installinit, which installs an init.d script, and edits the postinst, postrm, etc. -- Joey Hess Fri, 14 Nov 1997 00:45:53 -0500 debhelper (0.19) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmenu.1: menufile is in section 5, not 1. -- Joey Hess Wed, 12 Nov 1997 19:54:48 -0500 debhelper (0.18) unstable; urgency=low * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error. * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej, .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files. * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the commands once, and then run them seperatly. -- Joey Hess Mon, 10 Nov 1997 19:48:36 -0500 debhelper (0.17) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_installdirs, automatically creates subdirectories (for compatability with debstd's debian/dirs file. * dh_lib: fixed problem with -P flag. -- Joey Hess Fri, 7 Nov 1997 16:07:11 -0500 debhelper (0.16) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: always compress changelog and upstream changelog, no matter what their size (#14604) (policy 5.8) -- Joey Hess Thu, 6 Nov 1997 19:50:36 -0500 debhelper (0.15) unstable; urgency=low * README: documented what temporary directories are used by default for installing package files into. * dh_*: added -P flag, to let a different package build directory be specified. -- Joey Hess Thu, 6 Nov 1997 15:51:22 -0500 debhelper (0.14) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: leave permissions on files in /usr/doc/packages/examples unchanged. * Install examples/rules* executable. -- Joey Hess Mon, 27 Oct 1997 12:42:33 -0500 debhelper (0.13) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_makeshlibs, automatically generates a shlibs file. -- Joey Hess Fri, 24 Oct 1997 20:33:14 -0400 debhelper (0.12) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed mispelling of dh_md5sums in examples rules files and README. (#13990) Thanks, Adrian. -- Joey Hess Fri, 24 Oct 1997 14:35:30 -0400 debhelper (0.11) unstable; urgency=low * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles. (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith ) #14048. * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter. * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README. * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048). -- Joey Hess Tue, 21 Oct 1997 13:17:28 -0400 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages. * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for multiple binary packages. * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you should rebuild them with this version. * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode. -- Joey Hess Mon, 20 Oct 1997 14:44:30 -0400 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package. * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page. -- Joey Hess Sat, 18 Oct 1997 20:55:39 -0400 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_md5sum, generates a md5sums file. * dh_clean: fixed to echo all commands when verbose mode is on. -- Joey Hess Fri, 17 Oct 1997 14:18:26 -0400 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops. * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package, it is installed as TODO.Debian. * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as debian/README.debian. * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks. * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable in a few situations.) -- Joey Hess Mon, 13 Oct 1997 20:08:05 -0400 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash. -- Joey Hess Fri, 10 Oct 1997 15:24:40 -0400 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_installcron to install cron jobs. -- Joey Hess Tue, 30 Sep 1997 19:37:41 -0400 debhelper (0.4) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_strip to strip binaries and libraries. * Fixed several man pages. -- Joey Hess Sun, 28 Sep 1997 20:46:32 -0400 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean. * Removed some pointless uses of cat. -- Joey Hess Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but is ready for general use. * Added man pages for all commands. * Multiple binary package support. * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on, by group (arch or noarch), and by package name. * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as parameters. * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be auto-installed as parameters. * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships and permissions. * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so files. * Added a README. * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside the package build directory it is to act on. * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib. * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean. -- Joey Hess Tue, 23 Sep 1997 12:26:12 -0400 debhelper (0.1) experimental; urgency=low * First release. This is a snapshot of my work so far, and it not yet ready to replace debstd. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Sep 1997 15:01:25 -0400
