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

192 it does not understand; and it was not possible to fix that
193 for any compat level before v8. But also, such logs can occur

213 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
214 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
215 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:

324 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
325 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of

327 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
328 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
329 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
330 (genesis) still uses them.

335 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
336 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
337 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
338 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
339 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
340 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
341 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
342 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
343 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
344 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
345 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
346 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
347 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
348 commands. (See #570039)
349 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.

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

546 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
547 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
549 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
550 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
551 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

611 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
612 flag with arch all/any packages.
613 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users

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

1071 that uses them. Affected options are:
1072 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,

1079 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
1080 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
1081 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
1082 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
1083 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1633 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1634 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1635 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1636 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1765 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1766 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1767 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1768 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1769 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1770 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1771 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1773 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1774 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1775 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

3493 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3494 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3495 other minor changes.
3496 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3497 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3498 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3499 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3500 course there's -X ..)
3501 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3502 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3503 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3505 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3506 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3507 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3508 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

3554 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

3556 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break

3584 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3586 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3587 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3588 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3589 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3590 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3591 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3592 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3593 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3594 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3595 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3596 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3597 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3598 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3599 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3600 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3601 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3603 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3638 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3639 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3640 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3641 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3642 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3643 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3644 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3645 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

3983 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,

4003 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
4004 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
4005 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
4006 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
4007 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
4008 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
4009 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
4010 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

4064 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
4066 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4067 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4068 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4069 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4070 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

4072 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4073 but is mildly deprecated.
4074 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4075 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4076 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4077 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4078 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4079 switching to statoverrides..
4080 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4081 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4082 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4083 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4084 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4085 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4087 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4088 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4089 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4090 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4091 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4092 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4093 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4094 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4095 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4097 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4098 variable names, pod man pages).
4099 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4100 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4101 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4102 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4103 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4104 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4105 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4177 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4178 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

4180 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

4271 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4272 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4273 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4274 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4276 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4277 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4278 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4283 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4284 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

4521 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4522 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4523 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4524 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4525 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4526 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4527 notice until v2 is complete.
4528 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4529 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4530 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4531 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4532 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4533 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4535 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4536 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4537 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
4538 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

4659 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4660 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4662 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

4664 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4665 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

4748 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4749 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4750 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4751 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4752 bits until all files have been registered.

4762 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4763 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4764 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4765 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4766 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4767 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4768 otherwise change the result at all.
4770 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4771 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4891 I made some changes, though:
4892 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4893 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4894 that is a clear violation of policy.
4895 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4896 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4897 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4898 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4899 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4900 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4901 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4902 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4903 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4905 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

5069 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
5070 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
5071 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
5072 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
5073 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5074 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5075 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5076 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5077 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5078 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5079 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5080 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5087 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
5088 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
5090 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
5091 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
5092 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
5093 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
5094 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
5095 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5984 * dh_du, dh_shlibdeps, dh_undocumented: rewrite in perl.
5985 * dh_undocumented: shortened the symlink used for section 7 undocumented
5986 man pages, since it can link to undocuemented.7.gz in the same directory.

5998 * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
5999 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
6000 * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
6001 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
6002 * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
6003 * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.

6009 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
6010 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
6011 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
6012 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
6013 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

6026 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
6027 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
6028 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
6029 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
6030 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
6031 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
6032 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
6033 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
6034 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6070 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
6071 sections of shared libraries.
6072 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
6073 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6074 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6075 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6076 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6077 things you don't want them to.
6078 * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are
6079 present. It didn't before, which was a bug.

6140 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6141 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6142 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
6143 I apologize for the inconvenience.

6216 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6217 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6218 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6402 past week. Thanks, guys!
6404 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6405 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6406 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6407 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6408 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6409 would do in the same situation.
6410 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6411 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

6415 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their

6418 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6419 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6420 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6421 files are treated identically.

6461 - dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
6462 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
6463 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
6464 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

6466 shape if you're starting a new package.

6750 a given package, or -i or -a.

6752 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

6970 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
6971 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
6972 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
6973 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
6974 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

6978 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6980 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6981 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6982 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6983 multiple binary packages.
6984 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6985 should rebuild them with this version.
6986 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6990 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
6992 * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
6993 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.

7004 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
7006 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
7007 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
7008 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
7009 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
7010 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
7011 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
7012 debian/README.debian.
7013 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
7014 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
7015 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
7016 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
7017 in a few situations.)

7021 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
7023 * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.

7027 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

7033 debhelper (0.4) unstable; urgency=low
7035 * Added dh_strip to strip binaries and libraries.

7040 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
7042 * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
7043 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
7044 * Removed some pointless uses of cat.

7048 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
7050 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
7051 is ready for general use.
7052 * Added man pages for all commands.
7053 * Multiple binary package support.
7054 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
7055 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
7056 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
7058 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
7059 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
7060 auto-installed as parameters.
7061 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7063 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7066 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7067 the package build directory it is to act on.
7068 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7069 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7070 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
