144 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
146 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
147 that uses them. Affected options are:
148 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
149 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
150 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
151 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,

153 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
154 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
155 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
156 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
157 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
158 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
159 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

838 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference

844 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
845 specific python version. Closes: #373853
846 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
847 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
849 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
850 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
851 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

1071 * Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
1072 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
1073 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
1074 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
1075 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
1076 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
1077 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

1108 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
1109 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting

1231 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2553 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2554 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2555 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2556 dh_install, which ...
2557 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2558 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2559 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2560 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2561 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2562 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2563 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2564 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2565 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2566 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2567 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2568 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2569 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2570 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2571 other minor changes.
2572 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2573 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2574 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2575 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2576 course there's -X ..)
2577 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2578 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2579 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2581 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2582 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2583 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2584 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2585 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2660 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2662 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2663 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2664 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2665 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2666 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2667 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2668 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2669 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2670 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2671 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2672 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2673 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2674 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2675 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2676 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2677 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2679 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2712 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2714 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2715 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2716 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2717 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2718 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2719 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2720 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2721 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2722 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3082 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3083 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3084 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3085 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3142 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3143 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3144 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3145 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3146 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

3148 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3149 but is mildly deprecated.
3150 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3151 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3152 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3153 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3154 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3155 switching to statoverrides..
3156 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3157 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3158 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3159 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3160 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3161 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3163 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3164 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3165 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3166 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3167 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3168 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3169 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3170 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3171 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3173 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3174 variable names, pod man pages).
3175 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3176 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3177 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3178 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3179 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3180 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3181 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3347 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3350 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3352 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3353 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3354 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3597 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3598 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3599 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3600 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3601 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3602 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3603 notice until v2 is complete.
3604 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3605 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3606 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3607 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3608 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3609 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3611 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3612 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3613 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

3825 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3826 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3827 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3828 bits until all files have been registered.

3967 I made some changes, though:
3968 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3969 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3970 that is a clear violation of policy.
3971 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3972 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3973 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3974 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3975 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3976 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3977 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3978 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3979 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3981 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4023 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make

4146 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4147 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4148 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4149 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4150 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4151 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4152 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4153 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4154 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4155 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4156 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5026 * The perl conversion is complete.
5028 * dh_compress: perlized (yay, perl has readlink, no more ls -l | awk
5030 * dh_lib, dh_getopt.pl: deleted, nothing uses them anymore.
5031 * debian/rules: don't install above 2 files.

5060 * dh_du, dh_shlibdeps, dh_undocumented: rewrite in perl.

5074 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
5075 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
5076 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
5077 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
5078 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
5079 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

5085 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
5086 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
5087 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
5088 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
5089 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

5100 debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
5102 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
5103 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
5104 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5105 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5106 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5107 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5108 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5109 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5110 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5123 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,
5124 multi-architecture source package. (Ie, netscape-dmotif).

5144 debhelper (1.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
5146 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5147 sections of shared libraries.
5148 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
5149 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5150 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5151 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5152 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5153 things you don't want them to.
5154 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
5155 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

5171 debian/tmp directories was broken. Fixed.

5182 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
5183 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
5184 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

5214 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5215 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5216 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5217 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5218 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5219 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5221 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5222 remove debian/files properly.
5223 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
5224 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
5225 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
5226 * Removed bogus menu file.

5241 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
5242 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
5243 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

5274 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
5275 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

5286 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
5287 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
5288 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
5289 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
5290 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
5291 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
5292 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
5293 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
5294 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
5295 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
5296 passed any switches.

5308 large chunks in the process.
5309 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
5310 install many oddly named files it died on before.

5477 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5478 past week. Thanks, guys!
5480 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5481 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5482 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5483 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5484 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5485 would do in the same situation.
5486 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5487 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5489 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5491 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5492 permissions changed.
5493 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5494 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5495 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5496 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5497 files are treated identically.
5498 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5511 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5512 use -X multiple times, too.
5513 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
5514 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6046 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
6047 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
6048 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.

6054 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6056 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6057 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6058 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6059 multiple binary packages.
6060 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6061 should rebuild them with this version.
6062 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6080 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6082 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6083 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6084 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6085 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6086 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6087 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6088 debian/README.debian.
6089 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6090 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6091 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6092 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6093 in a few situations.)

6124 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6126 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6127 is ready for general use.
6128 * Added man pages for all commands.
6129 * Multiple binary package support.
6130 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6131 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6132 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6134 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6135 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6136 auto-installed as parameters.
6137 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6139 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6142 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6143 the package build directory it is to act on.
6144 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6145 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6146 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
