208 debhelper (8.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
210 * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
211 to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
212 allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
213 build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
214 specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
216 Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
217 but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
218 dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
220 Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
221 overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
222 too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
223 old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
224 acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
225 a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
226 * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
227 in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
228 * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
229 rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
230 Closes: #639341 Thanks, Yann Dirson for test case.
231 * debhelper no longer build-depends on man-db or file, to ease bootstrapping.

485 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
486 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
487 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
488 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
489 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
490 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
491 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
492 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
493 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
494 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
495 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
496 commands. (See #570039)

547 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
548 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
549 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the

931 - Adds support for cmake.
932 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
933 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
935 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
937 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands

939 --sourcedir, --destdir
940 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
941 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().

1011 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
1012 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
1013 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
1014 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
1015 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

1228 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
1229 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
1230 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
1231 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1756 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most

1781 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1782 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1783 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1784 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1919 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the

1922 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1923 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

3625 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3626 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3627 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3628 dh_install, which ...
3629 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3630 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3631 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3632 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3633 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3634 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3635 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3636 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3637 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3638 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3639 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3640 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3641 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3642 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3643 other minor changes.
3644 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3645 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3646 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3647 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3648 course there's -X ..)
3649 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3650 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3651 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3653 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3654 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3655 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3656 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3657 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3701 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3702 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3703 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3704 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3705 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3732 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3734 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3735 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3736 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3737 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3738 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3739 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3740 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3741 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3742 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3743 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3744 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3745 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3746 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3747 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3748 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3749 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3751 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3768 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3769 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3770 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3771 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3772 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

3786 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3787 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3788 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3789 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3790 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3791 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3792 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3793 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3794 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3973 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3974 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3975 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3976 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3977 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3978 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3979 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3980 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
3981 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
3982 prefixed with ".debhelper")

4002 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
4003 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
4004 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
4005 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
4006 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
4007 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
4008 program those options go to. So, for example,
4009 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
4010 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

4154 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
4155 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
4156 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
4157 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

4214 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4215 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4216 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4217 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4218 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
4219 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
4220 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4221 but is mildly deprecated.
4222 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4223 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4224 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4225 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4226 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4227 switching to statoverrides..
4228 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4229 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4230 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4231 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4232 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4233 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4235 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4236 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4237 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4238 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4239 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4240 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4241 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4242 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4243 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4245 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4246 variable names, pod man pages).
4247 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4248 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4249 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4250 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4251 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4252 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4253 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4419 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

4422 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4424 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4425 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4426 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4476 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4477 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
4478 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

4669 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4670 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4671 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4672 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4673 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4674 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4675 notice until v2 is complete.
4676 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatible
4677 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4678 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4679 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4680 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4681 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4683 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4684 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

4898 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

4980 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
4981 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
4982 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
4983 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

4985 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
4986 does not compress. Closes: #41733

5039 I made some changes, though:
5040 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
5041 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
5042 that is a clear violation of policy.
5043 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
5044 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
5045 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
5046 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
5047 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
5048 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
5049 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
5050 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
5051 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
5053 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

5218 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
5219 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
5220 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
5221 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5222 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5223 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5224 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5225 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5226 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5227 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5228 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5238 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

5240 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
5241 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
5242 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
5243 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5504 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.

5567 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5988 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5989 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
5990 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
5991 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
5992 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

6020 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages

6177 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
6178 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
6179 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
6180 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
6181 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
6182 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6547 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
6548 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
6549 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6550 past week. Thanks, guys!
6552 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6553 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6554 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6555 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6556 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6557 would do in the same situation.
6558 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6559 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6561 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6563 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6564 permissions changed.
6565 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6566 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6567 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6568 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6569 files are treated identically.
6570 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
6571 * Minor man page fixes.
6572 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

6574 --no-act is on. (#23054)

6583 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6584 use -X multiple times, too.
6585 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
6586 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6982 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6983 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6984 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6985 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6986 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6987 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6988 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

7064 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
7065 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
7066 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
7067 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

7131 multiple binary packages.

7155 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
7156 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
7157 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
7158 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
7159 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
7160 debian/README.debian.
7161 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
7162 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
7163 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
7164 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
7165 in a few situations.)

7204 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
7206 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
7207 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be

7209 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7211 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7214 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7215 the package build directory it is to act on.
7216 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7217 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7218 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
