Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2. * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.) * dh_installmenu, dh_installwmacsen, dh_installwm: perlized. * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work. -- Joey Hess Mon, 9 Nov 1998 13:04:16 -0800 debhelper (1.1.24) unstable; urgency=low * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers. -- Joey Hess Tue, 27 Oct 1998 18:19:48 -0800 debhelper (1.1.23) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: At the suggestion of James Troup now deletes files named *.P in .deps/ subdirectories.

Now a new dh_installwm program handles registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971) -- Joey Hess Wed, 14 Oct 1998 23:08:04 -0700 debhelper (1.1.21) unstable; urgency=low * Added install to .PHONY target of example rules files. -- Joey Hess Sun, 11 Oct 1998 22:36:10 -0700 debhelper (1.1.20) unstable; urgency=low * Added a --same-arch flag, that is useful in the rare case when you have a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part, multi-architecture source package. (Ie, netscape-dmotif). * Modified dh_installinit -r so it does start the daemon on the initial install (#26680). -- Joey Hess Fri, 2 Oct 1998 15:55:13 -0700 debhelper (1.1.19) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmanpages: look at basename of man pacges specified on command line to skip, for backwards compatability. -- Joey Hess Thu, 10 Sep 1998 11:31:42 -0700 debhelper (1.1.18) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installemacsen: substitute package name for #PACKAGE# when setting up postinst and prerm (#26560). -- Joey Hess Tue, 8 Sep 1998 14:24:30 -0700 debhelper (1.1.17) unstable; urgency=low * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note sections of shared libraries. * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do things you don't want them to. * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are present. It didn't before, which was a bug. -- Joey Hess Mon, 7 Sep 1998 17:33:19 -0700 debhelper (1.1.16) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: remove execute bits from static libraries as well as shared libraries.

Fixed. * dh_installmanpages: the code to exclude searching for man pages in debian/tmp directories was broken. Fixed. -- Joey Hess Mon, 31 Aug 1998 00:05:17 -0700 debhelper (1.1.14) unstable; urgency=low * Debhelper now has a web page at http://kitenet.net/programs/debhelper/ * Added code to debian/rules to update the web page when I release new debhelpers. * dh_compress: since version 0.88 or so, dh_compress has bombed out if a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected the program to not fail. (#26214) -- Joey Hess Sun, 30 Aug 1998 22:15:44 -0700 debhelper (1.1.13) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmanpages: rewritten in perl.

Any native debian package that had a debian/TODO would have it installed with the wrong name, and debhelper would warn of undefined values for some packages. Fixed. -- Joey Hess Thu, 27 Aug 1998 12:35:42 -0700 debhelper (1.1.11) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installchangelogs: added -k flag, that will make it install a symlink to the original name of the upstream changelog. -- Joey Hess Thu, 20 Aug 1998 15:40:40 -0700 debhelper (1.1.10) unstable; urgency=low * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper). I apologize for the inconvenience. * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't remove debian/files properly. * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl. * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built. * Removed bogus menu file. -- Joey Hess Mon, 17 Aug 1998 14:15:17 -0700 debhelper (1.1.9) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: has been removing the +x bits of all doc/*/examples/* files since version 0.97 or so. Fixed. -- Joey Hess Sun, 16 Aug 1998 17:11:48 -0700 debhelper (1.1.8) unstable; urgency=low * Dh_Lib.pm: made U_PARAMS an array of parameters. * Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in the escaping code, numbers don't need to be escaped. Also, no longer escape "-". * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl. * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params. -- Joey Hess Fri, 14 Aug 1998 14:07:35 -0700 debhelper (1.1.7) unstable; urgency=low * examples/rules.multi: moved dh_movefiles into the install section. * doc/README: Added a note explaining why above change was necessary. * Dh_Lib.pm: escape_shell(): now escapes the full range of special characters recognized by bash (and ksh).

I probably don't escape out all the characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway. * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-) -- Joey Hess Tue, 11 Aug 1998 15:23:34 -0700 debhelper (1.1.4) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some cases if you tried to move a broken symlink. * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package. * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl. * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken. * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript(). * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day). * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now. * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not passed any switches. * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken. -- Joey Hess Tue, 11 Aug 1998 12:44:04 -0700 debhelper (1.1.3) unstable; urgency=low * dh_md5sums: -x was broken since version 1.1.1 - fixed. * dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used at all for a long while. * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl. * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting large chunks in the process. * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can install many oddly named files it died on before. * dh_installdocs: fixed a bug that installed TODO files mode 655 in native debian packages. -- Joey Hess Mon, 10 Aug 1998 15:01:15 -0700 debhelper (1.1.2) unstable; urgency=low * dh_strip: added -X to specify files to not strip (#25590). * Added dh_installemacsen, for automatic registration with emacsen-common (#21401). * Preliminary thoughts in TODO about converting entire debhelper programs to perl programs. -- Joey Hess Mon, 10 Aug 1998 13:35:17 -0700 debhelper (1.1.1) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: try to move all files specified, and only then bomb out if some of the file could not be found. Makes it easier for some packages that don't always have the same files in them. * dh_compress: any parameters passed to it on the command line specify additional files to be compressed in the first package acted on. * dh_compress: recognize standard -A parameter. -- Joey Hess Sat, 8 Aug 1998 22:48:01 -0700 debhelper (1.1.0) unstable; urgency=low * New unstable branch of debhelper. * TODO: list all current bugs, in order I plan to tackle them. * Added debhelper.1 man page, which groups all the debhelper options that are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o updating 27 man pages. * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors. * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1. * dh_*: -N option now excludes a package from the list of packages the programs act on.

It's also much cleaner. Thanks, Herbert! * dh_getopt.pl, doc/PROGRAMMING: added DH_EXCLUDE_FIND, to make the above fix work. -- Joey Hess Sun, 5 Jul 1998 18:09:25 -0700 debhelper (0.96) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: fixed serious breakage introduced in the last version. * dh_movefiles: really order all symlinks last. * some minor reorganization of the source tree. -- Joey Hess Sun, 28 Jun 1998 21:53:45 -0700 debhelper (0.95) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: move even very strangly named files.

Back in Jan 1998, this came up, and a consensus was reached on debian-devel that it was a good thing for -isp to be used. -- Joey Hess Fri, 19 Jun 1998 16:15:24 -0700 debhelper (0.91) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs: support debian/.{README.Debian,TODO} -- Joey Hess Wed, 17 Jun 1998 19:09:35 -0700 debhelper (0.90) unstable; urgency=low * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the past week. Thanks, guys! . * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command. It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd would do in the same situation. * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release debhelper 1.0! * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd to debhelper. * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their permissions changed. * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase some people enjoy changing root's name. * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files, for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two files are treated identically. * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function. * Minor man page fixes. * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/ is empty. (#23054) * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if --no-act is on.

You can use -X multiple times, too. * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES. -- Joey Hess Sun, 17 May 1998 11:26:09 -0700 debhelper (0.87) unstable; urgency=low * dh_strip: strip .comment and .note, not comment and note, when stripping elf binaries.

(#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
