24 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
25 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
26 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
27 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
28 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
29 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
30 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
31 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
32 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
33 it is an obsolete program.

118 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
119 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
120 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
121 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
122 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
123 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
124 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
126 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
127 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
128 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
130 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
132 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
133 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
134 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
135 should now be raised to severity important..

371 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
372 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
373 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
374 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
375 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
376 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
377 notice until v2 is complete.
378 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
379 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
380 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
381 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
382 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
383 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
385 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

596 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
597 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
598 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
599 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
600 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
601 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
602 bits until all files have been registered.

611 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
612 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
613 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
614 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
615 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
616 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
617 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
618 otherwise change the result at all.
620 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
621 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
622 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
623 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

640 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
641 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
643 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
644 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
645 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
646 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

683 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
684 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
685 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

739 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
740 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
741 I made some changes, though:
742 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
743 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
744 that is a clear violation of policy.
745 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
746 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
747 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
748 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
749 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
750 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
751 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
752 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
753 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
755 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

797 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
798 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
799 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
800 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
801 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
802 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

919 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
920 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
921 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
922 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
923 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
924 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
925 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
926 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
927 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
928 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
929 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
930 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

940 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
941 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
942 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
943 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
944 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
945 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

1093 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
1094 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
1095 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable
1097 * dh_compress: removed the usr/share/X11R6/man bit. Note part of FHS.

1101 debhelper (2.0.09) unstable; urgency=low
1103 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
1104 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
1105 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
1106 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

1140 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
1141 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
1142 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

1156 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.

1158 supported compatability level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
1159 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

1171 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
1172 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
1173 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
1174 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
1175 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
1176 * debhelper.1: documented this.
1177 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
1178 current compatability level is equal to that number.
1179 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.

1205 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
1206 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
1207 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
1208 more than 1 init script.

1251 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
1252 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
1253 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

1268 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
1269 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

1315 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
1316 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
1317 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

1319 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

1423 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

1672 suidregister actually supports it.

1881 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
1882 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
1883 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

2064 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
2065 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
2066 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
2067 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
2068 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
2069 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
2070 passed any switches.
2071 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

2081 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
2082 large chunks in the process.

2084 install many oddly named files it died on before.

2250 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
2251 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
2252 past week. Thanks, guys!
2254 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
2255 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
2256 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
2257 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
2258 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
2259 would do in the same situation.
2260 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
2261 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
2263 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
2265 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
2266 permissions changed.
2267 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
2268 some people enjoy changing root's name.
2269 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
2270 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
2271 files are treated identically.
2272 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

2285 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
2286 use -X multiple times, too.
2287 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
2288 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

2560 * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
2561 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
2562 * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
2563 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
2564 are supported. (#16935)
2565 * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.

2599 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
2600 a given package, or -i or -a.

2687 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
