3 * Debhelper config files may be made executable programs that output the
4 desired configuration. No further changes are planned to the config file
5 format; those needing powerful syntaxes may now use a programming language
6 of their choice. (Be careful aiming that at your feet.)

25 Thanks, Aurelien Jarno and Bastien ROUCARIES. Closes: #631985
26 * dh: Ensure -a and -i are passed when running override_dh_command-arch

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

184 not being acted on. dh can sometimes produce such logs by accident
185 when passed bundled options (like "-Nfoo" instead of "-N foo") that
186 it does not understand; and it was not possible to fix that
187 for any compat level before v8. But also, such logs can occur
188 for other reasons, like interrupted builds during development,
189 and it should be safe to clean them all. Closes: #623446

198 * dh_auto_clean: Inhibit logging, so that, if dh_auto_clean is used
199 in some rule other than clean, perhaps to clean up an intermediate
200 build before a second build is run, debian/rules clean still runs it.
202 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more
203 changes may be added to that mode.
204 * Support multiarch in v9. Thanks, Steve Langasek. Closes: #617761
205 * dh_auto_configure: Support multiarch in v9 by passing multiarch
206 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
207 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
208 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
209 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
210 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
211 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.

234 * Improve handling of logging in override targets, so that
235 --remaining-packages can be used again. Now all debhelper commands run
236 in the override target are marked as running as part of the override,

317 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
318 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
319 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
320 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
321 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
322 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
323 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
324 (genesis) still uses them.
325 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
326 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
327 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
328 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
329 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
330 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
331 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
332 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
333 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
334 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
335 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
336 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
337 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
338 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
339 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
340 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
341 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
342 commands. (See #570039)
343 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
345 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

390 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
392 * Typo. Closes: #571968
393 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
394 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
395 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the

494 * make: Avoid infinite make recursion that occurrs when testing existence
495 of a target in a certian horribly broken makefile, by making the test stop
496 after it sees one line of output from make. (This may be better replaced
497 with dh's makefile parser in the future.) Closes: #557307

517 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
518 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
519 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
520 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
521 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
522 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
523 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
524 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
525 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
526 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
527 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
528 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
529 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
530 time soon.) Closes: #554509
531 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
533 * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatibility level 4.

536 document id. Closes: #555677

538 * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
539 Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
540 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
541 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
543 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
544 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
545 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

577 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
578 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
579 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
580 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
581 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
582 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
583 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293

604 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
605 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
606 flag with arch all/any packages.
607 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
608 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
609 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
610 situation. Closes: #540794

765 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
766 contributed by Modestas Vainius
767 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
768 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
769 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
770 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
771 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
772 that support it. Closes: #480577
773 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
774 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
775 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
777 - Adds support for cmake.
778 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
779 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
781 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
783 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
784 that use them. The options are:
785 --sourcedir, --destdir
786 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
787 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
788 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
789 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
790 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

857 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
858 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
859 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

1062 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
1064 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
1065 that uses them. Affected options are:
1066 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
1067 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
1068 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

1073 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
1074 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
1075 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
1076 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
1077 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1623 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1624 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1625 script and then remove the python files.
1626 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1627 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1628 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1629 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1630 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1635 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1759 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1760 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1761 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1762 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1763 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1764 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1765 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1767 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1768 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1769 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

1989 * Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
1990 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
1991 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
1992 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
1993 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
1994 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
1995 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

2026 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
2027 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting

2030 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

2145 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatibility

2147 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
2148 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
2149 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

3481 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404

3483 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this

3487 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3488 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3489 other minor changes.
3490 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3491 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3492 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3493 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3494 course there's -X ..)
3495 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3496 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3497 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3499 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3500 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3501 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3502 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3503 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3548 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

3550 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3551 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3578 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3580 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3581 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3582 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3583 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3584 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3585 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3586 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3587 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3588 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3589 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3590 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3591 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3592 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3593 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3594 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3595 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3597 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3630 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3632 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3633 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3634 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3635 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3636 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3637 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3638 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3639 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3640 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3824 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3825 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3826 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3855 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

3977 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,

3998 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3999 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
4000 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
4001 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
4002 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
4003 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
4004 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

4060 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4061 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4062 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4063 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4064 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
4065 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
4066 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4067 but is mildly deprecated.
4068 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4069 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4070 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4071 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4072 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4073 switching to statoverrides..
4074 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4075 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4076 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4077 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4078 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4079 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4081 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4082 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4083 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4084 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4085 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4086 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4087 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4088 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4089 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4091 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4092 variable names, pod man pages).
4093 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4094 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4095 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4096 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4097 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4098 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4099 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4172 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

4265 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

4267 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4268 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4270 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4271 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4272 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4277 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4278 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

4515 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4516 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4517 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4518 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4519 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4520 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4521 notice until v2 is complete.
4522 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4523 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4524 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4525 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4526 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4527 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4529 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4530 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4531 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4656 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

4743 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4744 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4745 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4746 bits until all files have been registered.

4758 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

4764 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4765 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4885 I made some changes, though:
4886 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4887 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4888 that is a clear violation of policy.
4889 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4890 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4891 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4892 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4893 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4894 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4895 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4896 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4897 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4899 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

5065 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.

5067 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5068 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5069 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5070 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5071 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5072 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5073 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5074 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5990 debhelper (1.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
5992 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
5993 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
5994 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
5995 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
5996 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
5997 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

6001 debhelper (1.1.24) unstable; urgency=low
6003 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
6004 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
6005 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
6006 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
6007 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

6018 debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
6020 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
6021 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
6022 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
6023 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
6024 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
6025 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
6026 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
6027 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
6028 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6040 * Added a --same-arch flag, that is useful in the rare case when you have
6041 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,
6042 multi-architecture source package. (Ie, netscape-dmotif).

6064 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
6065 sections of shared libraries.
6066 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
6067 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6068 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6069 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6070 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6071 things you don't want them to.
6072 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
6073 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

6100 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
6101 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page
6102 will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected

6132 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
6133 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
6134 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6135 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6136 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
6137 I apologize for the inconvenience.
6139 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
6140 remove debian/files properly.
6141 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
6142 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
6143 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

6193 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

6207 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6208 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6209 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6210 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6211 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6212 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
6213 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
6214 passed any switches.

6226 large chunks in the process.

6395 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6396 past week. Thanks, guys!
6398 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6399 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6400 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6401 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6402 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6403 would do in the same situation.
6404 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6405 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6407 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6409 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6410 permissions changed.
6411 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6412 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6413 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6414 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6415 files are treated identically.
6416 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6429 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6430 use -X multiple times, too.

6743 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6744 a given package, or -i or -a.
6745 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6746 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6747 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6748 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

6750 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6752 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6968 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

6972 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6974 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6975 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6976 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6977 multiple binary packages.
6978 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6979 should rebuild them with this version.
6980 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6984 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low

6998 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
7000 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
7001 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
7002 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
7003 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
7004 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
7005 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
7006 debian/README.debian.
7007 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
7008 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
7009 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
7010 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
7011 in a few situations.)

7015 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
7017 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

7021 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

7034 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low

7040 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400
7042 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
7044 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
7045 is ready for general use.
7046 * Added man pages for all commands.
7047 * Multiple binary package support.
7048 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
7049 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
7050 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
7052 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
7053 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
7054 auto-installed as parameters.
7055 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7057 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7060 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7061 the package build directory it is to act on.
7062 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7063 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7064 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
