As more and more people use debhelper, this -list grows - I welcome patches to fix items on it! +v10: -Wishlist items: - -* All debhelper programs should only accept the options they are documented - to accept (rather than accepting all debhelper options). They should - be able to print brief usage summaries. - - I think this calls for a restucturing. Make a Debhelper.pm class. Each - program subclasses the class. The class provides command line parsing, - useful functions, and so on. Skeleton of a debhelper command would then - be: - - use base qw{Debhelper}; - - sub startup { - # Add initialization stuff here. - } - - sub perpackage { - my $package=shift; - - # Stuff to do for each package here. - } - - sub fini { - # And final stuff here, if any. - } - - This needs more thought. - -* install-info, as of dpkg 1.10, parses the info file for section if - --section is not given. So I should be able to stop parsing it myself for - section, after dpkg 1.10 has been around long enough. +* escaping in config files (for whitespace)? +* dh_installinit --restart-after-upgrade as default? Deprecated: -* DH_COMPAT 1. Can be removed once all packages are seen to be using 2 or - higher. I won't hold my breath. -* Also, grep the entire archive for all dh_* command lines (I do this now), - and check to see what other switches are not being used, and maybe remove - some of them. I'd also like to deprecate/remove debian/compress files, -X is - a better idea. +* make a missing debian/compat an error. (started printing warning messages + in 20120115) +* DH_COMPAT 1, 2, 3, 4. Can be removed once all packages are seen to be using + a newer version. I won't hold my breath. (2 and 3 are getting close though.) * dh_suidregister. Once nothing in the archive uses it. -* dh_installmanpages. Only mildly deprecated right now. Once dh_installman - catches on, make it emit a warning, and then wait for it to go away. -* dh_testversion. Remove as soon as nothing uses it. -* dh_movefiles. I won't hold my breath. -* debconf-mergetemplates support and the debian/template.ll files and the - debconf-utils dependency. +* dh_installmanpages. +* dh_movefiles. I won't hold my breath. Have not added deprecation + docs or message yet. * dh_undocumented +* dh_installinit --init-script (make it warn) +* dh_python +* dh_clean -k +* dh_desktop, dh_scrollkeeper. Remove eventually.. +* -s flag, not formally deprecated yet; remove eventually +* -u flag; add a warning on use and remove eventually +* delsubstvar() and the last parameter to addsubstvar that makes it remove + a string are not used in debhelper itself, but have been left in the + library in case other things use them. Deprecate and remove. +* dh --before , --after , --until , --remaining +* debian/compress files +* deprecate dh_gconf for dh_installgsettings (stuff should be migrating + away from gconf, and then I can just remove it -- have not added warning + or depreaction docs yet) + +Also, grep the entire archive for all dh_* command lines, +and check to see what other switches are not being used, and maybe remove +some of them.
