Use fakeroot instead until this is fixed. * dh_compress: applied patch from Herbert Xu to make it not fail if there are no candidates for compression (#24654). * Removed a whole debhelper-0.96 tree that had crept into the source package by accident. * Is version 1.0 next? -- Joey Hess Thu, 16 Jul 1998 10:03:21 -0700 debhelper (0.98) unstable; urgency=low * dh_lib: isnative: pass -l to dpkg-parsechangelog, to support odd packages with multiple different debian changelogs. * doc/PROGRAMMING: cleaned up the docs on DH_EXCLUDE_FIND. -- Joey Hess Mon, 6 Jul 1998 12:45:13 -0700 debhelper (0.97) unstable; urgency=low * doc/from-debstd: fixed a typo. * examples/*: install-stamp no longer depends on phony build targey; now install-stamp depends on build-stamp instead (#24234). * dh_fixperms: applied patch from Herbert Xu to fix bad uses of the find command, so it should now work on packages with files with spaces in them (#22005). 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.

Oh well.. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Jun 1998 17:16:17 -0700 debhelper (0.94) unstable; urgency=low * dh_md5sums: fixed so it handles spaces and other odd characters in filenames correctly.

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. (#23054) -- Joey Hess Mon, 1 Jun 1998 21:57:45 -0400 debhelper (0.88) unstable; urgency=low * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy! * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression. * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. 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.

I'm going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new version fixing them, or revert to 0.83. * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good shape if you're starting a new package. -- Joey Hess Sat, 18 Apr 1998 23:30:38 -0700 debhelper (0.84) unstable; urgency=low * Applied Che_Fox'x patches to example rules files, which makes them use an install target internally to move things into place in debian/tmp. -- Joey Hess Thu, 9 Apr 1998 12:08:45 -0700 debhelper (0.83) unstable; urgency=low * Generate symlinks in build stage of debian/rules. cvs cannot create them properly.

(#18220) Thanks to Bdale Garbee and Adam Heath for help on the implementation. * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package changelogs. * dh_gencontrol: if debian/package.changelogs files exist, use them. * Above 2 changes close #20442. -- Joey Hess Mon, 30 Mar 1998 20:54:26 -0800 debhelper (0.78) frozen unstable; urgency=low * More spelling fixes from Christian T.

Corrected this. * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure no packages use the old behavior. -- Joey Hess Mon, 9 Mar 1998 11:46:59 -0800 debhelper (0.70) unstable; urgency=low * dh_lib: autoscript(): no longer add the modification date to the comments aurrounding debhelper-added code.

(#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.

(#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.

(#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.

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.

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.

(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
