217 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
218 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
219 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

345 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
346 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

348 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
349 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
350 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
351 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
352 specific python version. Closes: #373853
353 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
354 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
356 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
357 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
358 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
359 the not too-distant future).

580 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
581 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
582 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
583 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
584 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

734 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
735 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
736 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
737 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
738 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2060 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2061 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2062 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2063 dh_install, which ...
2064 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2065 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2066 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2067 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2068 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2069 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2070 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2071 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2072 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2073 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2074 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2075 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2076 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2077 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2078 other minor changes.
2079 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2080 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2081 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2082 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2083 course there's -X ..)
2084 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2085 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2086 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2088 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2089 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2090 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2091 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2092 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2137 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2167 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2169 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2170 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2171 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2172 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2173 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2174 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2175 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2176 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2177 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2178 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2179 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2180 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2181 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2182 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2183 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2184 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2186 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2221 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2222 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2223 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2224 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2225 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2226 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2227 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2228 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

2587 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2588 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2589 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2590 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2591 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2592 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2649 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2650 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2651 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2652 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2653 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2654 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2655 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2656 but is mildly deprecated.
2657 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2658 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2659 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2660 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2661 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2662 switching to statoverrides..
2663 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2664 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2665 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2666 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2667 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2668 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2670 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2671 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2672 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2673 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2674 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2675 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2676 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2677 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2678 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2680 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2681 variable names, pod man pages).
2682 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2683 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2684 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2685 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2686 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2687 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2688 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2854 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2855 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2856 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2857 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2859 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2860 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2861 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2863 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with

2866 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2867 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3038 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

3104 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3105 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3106 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3107 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3108 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3109 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3110 notice until v2 is complete.
3111 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3112 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3113 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3114 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3115 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3116 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3118 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3119 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3120 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3121 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3242 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3243 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3245 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3246 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3247 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3248 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3249 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

3331 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3332 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3333 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3334 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3335 bits until all files have been registered.

3345 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3346 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3347 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3348 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3349 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3350 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3351 otherwise change the result at all.
3353 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3354 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3355 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3474 I made some changes, though:
3475 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3476 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3477 that is a clear violation of policy.
3478 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3479 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3480 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3481 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3482 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3483 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3484 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3485 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3486 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3488 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3656 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3657 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3658 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3659 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3660 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3661 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3662 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
3663 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4582 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
4583 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
4584 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)

4592 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
4593 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
4594 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
4595 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
4596 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

4609 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
4610 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
4611 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
4612 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
4613 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
4614 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4615 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4616 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4617 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4653 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
4654 sections of shared libraries.
4655 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
4656 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
4657 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
4658 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
4659 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
4660 things you don't want them to.

4723 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4724 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4725 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

4799 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4800 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4801 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4987 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4988 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4989 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4990 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4991 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4992 would do in the same situation.

4994 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

4998 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their

5003 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two

5546 * Fixed mispelling of dh_md5sums in examples rules files and README.
5547 (#13990) Thanks, Adrian.

5553 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
5554 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
5555 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
5556 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
5557 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

5561 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
5563 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
5564 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
5565 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
5566 multiple binary packages.
5567 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
5568 should rebuild them with this version.
5569 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

5573 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
5575 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
5576 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

5587 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
5589 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
5590 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
5591 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
5592 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
5593 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
5594 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
5595 debian/README.debian.
5596 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
5597 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
5598 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
5599 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
5600 in a few situations.)

5604 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
5606 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

5610 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

5623 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
5625 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
5626 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
5627 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

5631 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
5633 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
5634 is ready for general use.
5635 * Added man pages for all commands.
5636 * Multiple binary package support.
5637 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
5638 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
5639 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
5641 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
5642 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
5643 auto-installed as parameters.
5644 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
5646 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
5649 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
5650 the package build directory it is to act on.
5651 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
5652 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
5653 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
