83 debhelper (8.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
85 * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
86 to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
87 allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
88 build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
89 specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
91 Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
92 but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
93 dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
95 Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
96 overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
97 too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
98 old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
99 acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
100 a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
101 * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
102 in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
103 * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
104 rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
105 Closes: #639341 Thanks, Yann Dirson for test case.

360 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
361 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
362 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
363 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
364 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
365 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
366 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
367 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
368 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
369 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
370 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
371 commands. (See #570039)

546 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
547 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
548 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
549 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
550 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
551 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
552 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
553 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
554 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
555 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
556 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
557 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
558 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
559 time soon.) Closes: #554509
560 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
562 * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatibility level 4.

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

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

794 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
795 contributed by Modestas Vainius
796 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
797 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
798 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
799 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
800 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
801 that support it. Closes: #480577
802 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
803 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
804 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
806 - Adds support for cmake.
807 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
808 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
810 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
812 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
813 that use them. The options are:
814 --sourcedir, --destdir
815 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
816 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
817 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
818 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
819 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

1075 such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back

1090 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
1091 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
1093 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
1094 that uses them. Affected options are:
1095 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
1096 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
1097 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
1098 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,

1100 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
1101 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
1102 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
1103 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
1104 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
1105 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
1106 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1656 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1657 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1658 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1659 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1664 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1793 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1794 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1796 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1797 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1798 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

3500 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3501 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3502 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3503 dh_install, which ...
3504 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3505 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3506 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3507 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3508 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3509 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3510 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3511 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3512 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3513 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3514 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3515 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3516 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3517 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3518 other minor changes.
3519 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3520 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3521 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3522 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3523 course there's -X ..)
3524 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3525 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3526 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3528 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3529 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3530 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3531 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3532 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3579 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

3607 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3609 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3610 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3611 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3612 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3613 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3614 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3615 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3616 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3617 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3618 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3619 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3620 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3621 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3622 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3623 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3624 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3626 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3661 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3662 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3663 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3664 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3665 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3666 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3667 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3668 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

4027 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
4028 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
4029 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
4030 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
4031 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
4032 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

4089 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4090 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4091 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4092 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4093 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
4094 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
4095 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4096 but is mildly deprecated.
4097 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4098 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4099 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4100 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4101 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4102 switching to statoverrides..
4103 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4104 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4105 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4106 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4107 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4108 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4110 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4111 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4112 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4113 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4114 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4115 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4116 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4117 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4118 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4120 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4121 variable names, pod man pages).
4122 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4123 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4124 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4125 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4126 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4127 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4128 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4294 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

4296 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4297 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4299 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4300 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4301 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4544 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4545 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4546 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4547 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4548 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4549 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4550 notice until v2 is complete.
4551 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4552 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4553 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4554 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4555 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4556 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4558 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4559 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4560 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4682 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4683 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4685 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

4687 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4688 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

4772 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4773 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4774 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4775 bits until all files have been registered.

4914 I made some changes, though:
4915 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4916 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4917 that is a clear violation of policy.
4918 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4919 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4920 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4921 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4922 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4923 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4924 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4925 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4926 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4928 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

5095 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
5096 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5097 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5098 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5099 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5100 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5101 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5102 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5103 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

6021 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
6022 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
6023 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
6024 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)

6032 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
6033 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
6034 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
6035 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
6036 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

6049 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
6050 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
6051 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
6052 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
6053 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
6054 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
6055 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
6056 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
6057 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6093 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
6094 sections of shared libraries.
6095 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
6096 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6097 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6098 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6099 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6100 things you don't want them to.

6163 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6164 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6165 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

6239 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6240 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6241 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6424 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6425 past week. Thanks, guys!
6427 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6428 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6429 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6430 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6431 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6432 would do in the same situation.
6433 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6434 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6436 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6438 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their

6441 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6442 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6443 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6444 files are treated identically.

6773 a given package, or -i or -a.

6775 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

6994 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
6995 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.

7001 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
7003 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
7004 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
7005 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
7006 multiple binary packages.
7007 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
7008 should rebuild them with this version.
7009 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

7013 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
7015 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
7016 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

7020 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
7022 * Added dh_md5sum, generates a md5sums file.

7027 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
7029 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
7030 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
7031 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
7032 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
7033 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
7034 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
7035 debian/README.debian.
7036 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
7037 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
7038 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
7039 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
7040 in a few situations.)

7044 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
7046 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

7050 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

7063 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
7065 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
7066 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.

7071 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
7073 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
7074 is ready for general use.
7075 * Added man pages for all commands.
7076 * Multiple binary package support.
7077 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
7078 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
7079 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
7081 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
7082 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
7083 auto-installed as parameters.
7084 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7086 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7089 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7090 the package build directory it is to act on.
7091 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7092 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7093 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
