71 debhelper (8.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
73 * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
74 to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
75 allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
76 build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
77 specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
79 Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
80 but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
81 dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
83 Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
84 overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
85 too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
86 old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
87 acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
88 a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
89 * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
90 in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
91 * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
92 rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
93 Closes: #639341 Thanks, Yann Dirson for test case.
94 * debhelper no longer build-depends on man-db or file, to ease bootstrapping.
95 * Remove obsolete versioned dependency on perl-base.
96 * Avoid writing debhelper log files in no-act mode. Closes: #640586
97 * Tighten parsing of DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.

204 for any compat level before v8. But also, such logs can occur

219 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more

222 * dh_auto_configure: Support multiarch in v9 by passing multiarch
223 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
224 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
225 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
226 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
227 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing

335 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
336 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of

338 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
339 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
340 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
341 (genesis) still uses them.

346 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
347 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
348 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
349 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
350 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
351 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
352 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
353 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
354 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
355 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
356 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
357 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
358 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
359 commands. (See #570039)
360 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.

535 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
536 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
537 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
538 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
539 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
540 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
541 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
542 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
543 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
544 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
545 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
546 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
547 time soon.) Closes: #554509

785 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
786 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597

788 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
789 that support it. Closes: #480577
790 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
791 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
792 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
794 - Adds support for cmake.
795 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
796 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
798 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
800 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
801 that use them. The options are:
802 --sourcedir, --destdir
803 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
804 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
805 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
806 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
807 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

1078 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
1079 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
1081 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
1082 that uses them. Affected options are:
1083 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
1084 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
1085 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

1089 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
1090 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
1091 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
1092 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
1093 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
1094 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1479 debhelper (5.0.60) unstable; urgency=low
1481 * Debhelper is now developed in a git repository.
1482 * Reword paragraph about debian/compress files to perhaps be more clear
1483 about the debian/compress file. Closes: #448759
1484 * dh_installdirs(1): Remove unnecessary caveat about slashes.
1485 * dh_icons: Now that GTK 2.12 has entered testing, use the much simpler to
1486 call update-icon-caches command. Thanks, Josselin Mouette.

1504 debhelper (5.0.57) unstable; urgency=low
1506 * Add --ignore option. This is intended to ease dealing with upstream
1507 tarballs that contain debian directories, by allowing debhelper config
1508 files in those directories to be ignored, since there's generally no
1509 good way to delete them out of the upstream tarball, and they can easily
1510 get in the way if upstream is using debian/ differently than the Debian

1559 * dh_icons: New program to update Freedesktop icon caches. Thanks
1560 to Josselin Mouette, Ross Burton, Jordi Mallach, and Loïc Minier.
1562 * Note that as a transitional measure, dh_icons will currently only update
1563 existing caches, and not create and new caches. Once everything is
1564 updating the icon caches, this will be changed. See #329460 for the full
1566 * Remove possibly confusing (though strictly accurate) sentence from

1577 * Add some checks for attempts to act on packages not defined in the control

1587 - man page handling was supposed to be v6 only and was not
1588 - typo in alternatives call
1589 - use the basename of the wm to get the man page name

1616 debhelper (5.0.45) unstable; urgency=low
1618 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1619 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1621 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1622 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1623 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
1624 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
1625 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
1626 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
1627 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
1628 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
1629 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
1630 * Do script fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian
1631 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

1637 * dh_installudev: Don't fail if the link already somehow exists on initial
1638 package install. Closes: #415717
1639 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
1640 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1641 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1642 script and then remove the python files.
1643 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1644 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1645 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1646 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1647 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1648 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1649 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1650 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1651 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1652 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
1653 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
1654 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have
1655 /etc/network/if-up.d, etc files. Closes: #217552

1674 * Man page improvements. Closes: #406707
1675 * dh_installdocs: In v5 mode, now ignore empty files even if they're hidden
1676 away inside a subdirectory. The code missed this before. See #200905
1677 * dh_installudev: Support debian/udev files. Closes: #381854
1678 * dh_installudev: Treat --priority value as a string so that leading zeros
1679 can be used (also so that a leading "z" that is not "z60" can be
1680 specified). Closes: #381851

1707 * Tighten python-support and python-central dependencies of debhelper,
1708 in an IMHO rather futile attempt to deal with derived distributions.
1710 * Correct some incorrect instances of "v4 only" in docs. Closes: #381536
1711 * dh_installinfo: Put the section madness to bed by not passing any section
1712 information to install-info. Current install-info parses INFO-DIR-SECTION

1741 * Revert all dh_python changes. Closes: #381389, #378604
1742 * Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4.
1743 * Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
1744 The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
1745 everything dh_python used to do in this situation.
1746 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
1747 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
1748 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
1749 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
1750 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

1771 * Non-maintainer upload.
1772 * Update of dh_python
1773 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1774 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1775 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1776 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1777 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1778 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1779 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1780 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1781 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1782 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1784 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1785 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1786 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1787 the not too-distant future).
1788 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1789 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
1790 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
1791 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
1792 thus made the build fail.

1805 * dh_installmodules: depmod -a is no longer run during boot, so if a module
1806 package is installed for a kernel other than the running kernel, just
1807 running depmod -a in the postinst is no longer sufficient. Instead, run
1808 depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-<kvers> <kvers>

3493 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3494 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3495 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3496 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3497 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3498 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3499 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3500 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3501 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3502 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3503 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3504 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3505 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3506 other minor changes.
3507 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3508 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3509 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3510 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3511 course there's -X ..)
3512 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3513 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3514 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3516 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3517 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3518 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3519 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3520 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3565 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

3567 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

3595 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3597 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3598 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3599 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3600 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3601 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3602 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3603 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3604 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3605 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3606 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3607 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3608 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3609 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3610 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3611 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3612 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3614 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3649 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3650 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3651 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3652 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3653 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3654 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3655 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3656 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

3842 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3843 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3993 * dh_makeshlibs: don't follow links to .so files. Instead, we will look
3994 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,
3995 liballeg, and it will fix the problem with console-tools-dev, which

4014 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
4015 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
4016 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
4017 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
4018 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
4019 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
4020 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
4021 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

4024 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
4025 us to deal with that gracefully.

4075 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
4077 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4078 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4079 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4080 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4081 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
4082 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
4083 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4084 but is mildly deprecated.
4085 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4086 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4087 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4088 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4089 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4090 switching to statoverrides..
4091 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4092 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4093 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4094 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4095 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4096 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4098 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4099 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4100 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4101 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4102 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4103 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4104 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4105 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4106 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4108 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4109 variable names, pod man pages).
4110 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4111 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4112 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4113 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4114 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4115 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4116 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4185 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
4186 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in

4188 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4189 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
4190 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
4191 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
4192 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
4193 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that

4282 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4283 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4284 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4285 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4287 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4288 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4289 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4294 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4295 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

4532 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4533 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4534 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4535 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4536 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4537 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4538 notice until v2 is complete.
4539 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4540 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4541 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4542 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4543 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4544 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4546 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4547 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4548 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4760 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4761 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4762 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4763 bits until all files have been registered.

4902 I made some changes, though:
4903 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4904 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4905 that is a clear violation of policy.
4906 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4907 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4908 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4909 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4910 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4911 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4912 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4913 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4914 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4916 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

5079 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
5080 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
5081 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
5082 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
5083 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
5084 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5085 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5086 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5087 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5088 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5089 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5090 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5091 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5098 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
5099 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
5101 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
5102 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
5103 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
5104 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
5105 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
5106 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5995 * dh_du, dh_shlibdeps, dh_undocumented: rewrite in perl.

6010 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
6011 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
6012 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
6013 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.

6021 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
6022 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
6023 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
6024 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

6038 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
6039 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
6040 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
6041 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
6042 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
6043 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
6044 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
6045 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6084 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6085 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6086 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6087 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6088 things you don't want them to.

6151 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6152 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6153 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

6227 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6228 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had

6415 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6416 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6417 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6418 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6419 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6420 would do in the same situation.

6422 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

6470 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
6471 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
6472 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
6473 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
6474 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
6475 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
6476 * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
6477 shape if you're starting a new package.

6760 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6761 a given package, or -i or -a.
6762 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6763 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6764 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6765 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6766 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6767 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6768 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6769 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6848 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',

6974 * Fixed mispelling of dh_md5sums in examples rules files and README.
6975 (#13990) Thanks, Adrian.

6981 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
6982 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
6983 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
6984 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
6985 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

6989 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6991 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6992 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6993 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6994 multiple binary packages.
6995 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6996 should rebuild them with this version.
6997 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

7001 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
7003 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.

7015 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
7017 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
7018 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
7019 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
7020 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
7021 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
7022 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
7023 debian/README.debian.
7024 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
7025 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
7026 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
7027 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
7028 in a few situations.)

7032 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
7034 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

7038 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

7051 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
7053 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
7054 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
7055 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

7059 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
7061 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
7062 is ready for general use.
7063 * Added man pages for all commands.
7064 * Multiple binary package support.
7065 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
7066 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
7067 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
7069 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
7070 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
7071 auto-installed as parameters.
7072 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7074 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7077 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7078 the package build directory it is to act on.
7079 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7080 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7081 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
