569 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
571 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
572 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
573 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
574 dh_install, which ...
575 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
576 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
577 mess, as it uses debian/install.
578 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
579 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
580 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
581 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
582 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
583 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
584 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
585 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
586 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
587 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
588 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
590 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
591 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
592 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
593 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
594 course there's -X ..)
595 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
596 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
597 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
599 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
600 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
601 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
602 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
603 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

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

678 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
680 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
681 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
682 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
683 line, as well as in debian/rules.
684 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
685 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
686 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
687 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
688 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
689 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
690 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
691 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
692 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
693 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
694 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
695 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
697 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

732 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
733 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
734 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
735 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
736 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
737 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
738 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
739 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
740 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

1100 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
1101 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
1102 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
1103 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

1160 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
1161 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
1162 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
1163 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
1164 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
1165 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
1166 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
1167 but is mildly deprecated.
1168 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
1169 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
1170 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
1171 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
1172 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
1173 switching to statoverrides..
1174 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
1175 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
1176 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
1177 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
1178 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
1179 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
1181 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
1182 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
1183 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
1184 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
1185 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
1186 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
1187 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
1188 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
1189 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
1191 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
1192 variable names, pod man pages).
1193 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
1194 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
1195 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
1196 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
1197 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
1198 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
1199 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

1365 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

1367 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
1368 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
1370 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
1371 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
1372 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

1615 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
1616 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
1617 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
1618 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
1619 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
1620 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
1621 notice until v2 is complete.
1622 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
1623 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
1624 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
1625 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
1626 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
1627 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
1629 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
1630 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
1631 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

1756 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

1843 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
1844 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
1845 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
1846 bits until all files have been registered.

1861 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
1862 otherwise change the result at all.
1864 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
1865 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

1985 I made some changes, though:
1986 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
1987 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
1988 that is a clear violation of policy.
1989 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
1990 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
1991 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
1992 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
1993 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
1994 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
1995 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
1996 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
1997 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
1999 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

2162 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
2163 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
2164 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
2165 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
2166 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
2167 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
2168 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
2169 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
2170 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
2171 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
2172 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
2173 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
2174 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

2180 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
2181 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
2182 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
2184 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
2185 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
2186 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
2187 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
2188 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
2189 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

2192 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

2247 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so

2348 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

3092 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
3093 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
3094 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
3095 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
3096 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.

3103 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
3104 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
3105 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
3106 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
3107 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

3118 debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
3120 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
3121 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
3122 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
3123 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
3124 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
3125 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
3126 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
3127 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
3128 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

3164 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
3165 sections of shared libraries.
3166 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
3167 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
3168 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
3169 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
3170 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
3171 things you don't want them to.
3172 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
3173 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

3232 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in

3234 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
3235 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
3236 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
3237 I apologize for the inconvenience.

3310 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
3311 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had

3498 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
3499 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
3500 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
3501 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
3502 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
3503 would do in the same situation.
3504 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
3505 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

3509 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their

3553 * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
3554 - dh_installdirs should go in install target.
3555 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
3556 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
3557 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
3558 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

3560 shape if you're starting a new package.

3843 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
3844 a given package, or -i or -a.
3845 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
3846 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
3847 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
3848 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

3850 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

3852 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

4057 * Fixed mispelling of dh_md5sums in examples rules files and README.
4058 (#13990) Thanks, Adrian.

4062 debhelper (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
4064 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
4065 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
4066 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
4067 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
4068 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

4072 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
4074 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
4075 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
4076 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
4077 multiple binary packages.
4078 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
4079 should rebuild them with this version.
4080 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

4084 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
4086 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
4087 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

4091 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
4093 * Added dh_md5sum, generates a md5sums file.

4098 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
4100 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
4101 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
4102 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
4103 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
4104 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
4105 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
4106 debian/README.debian.
4107 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
4108 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
4109 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
4110 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
4111 in a few situations.)

4115 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
4117 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

4121 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

4134 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
4136 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
4137 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
4138 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

4142 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
4144 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
4145 is ready for general use.
4146 * Added man pages for all commands.
4147 * Multiple binary package support.
4148 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
4149 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
4150 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
4152 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
4153 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
4154 auto-installed as parameters.
4155 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
4157 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
4160 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
4161 the package build directory it is to act on.
4162 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
4163 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
4164 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
