216 debhelper (8.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
218 * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
219 to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
220 allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
221 build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
222 specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
224 Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
225 but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
226 dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
228 Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
229 overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
230 too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
231 old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
232 acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
233 a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
234 * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
235 in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
236 * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
237 rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
238 Closes: #639341 Thanks, Yann Dirson for test case.
239 * debhelper no longer build-depends on man-db or file, to ease bootstrapping.

500 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
501 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
502 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
503 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
504 commands. (See #570039)
505 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
507 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

555 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
556 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
557 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
558 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior

939 - Adds support for cmake.
940 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
941 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
943 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
945 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands

947 --sourcedir, --destdir
948 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
949 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
950 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,

1790 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1791 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1792 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

3487 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
3488 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

3595 debhelper (4.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
3597 * Set DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=CVS and debhelper will exclude CVS directories
3598 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
3599 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
3600 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
3601 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
3602 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
3603 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573

3631 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3633 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3634 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3635 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3636 dh_install, which ...
3637 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3638 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3639 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3640 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3641 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3642 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3643 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3644 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3645 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3646 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3647 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3648 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3649 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3650 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3651 other minor changes.
3652 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3653 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3654 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3655 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3656 course there's -X ..)
3657 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3658 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3659 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3661 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3662 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3663 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3664 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3665 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3707 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
3709 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3710 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3711 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3712 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3713 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
3715 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
3716 * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

3735 * dh_installxfonts: separate multiple commands with \n so sed doesn't get
3736 upset. Closes: #131322
3738 -- Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net> Tue, 29 Jan 2002 18:58:58 -0500
3740 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3742 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3743 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3744 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3745 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3746 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3747 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3748 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3749 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3750 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3751 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3752 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3753 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3754 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3755 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3756 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3757 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3759 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3763 debhelper (3.4.3) unstable; urgency=low

3766 - Better indenting of generated code.
3767 - Better ordering of generated code (minor fix).

3771 debhelper (3.4.2) unstable; urgency=low
3773 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
3775 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
3776 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3777 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3778 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3779 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3780 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3781 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3792 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3794 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3795 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3796 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3797 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3798 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3799 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3800 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3801 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3802 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
3803 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message
3804 is now output when it runs. Currently used by: 381 packages.
3805 * dh_installxaw is deprecated -- xaw-wrappers in no longer in the
3806 distribution. A warning message is now output when it runs. Currently used
3807 by: 3 packages (bugs filed).

3976 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
3978 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3979 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3980 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3981 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3982 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3983 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3984 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3985 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3986 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3987 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3988 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
3989 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
3990 prefixed with ".debhelper")

4010 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
4011 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
4012 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
4013 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
4014 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
4015 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
4016 program those options go to. So, for example,
4017 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
4018 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
4019 something complex. Closes: #89311

4159 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
4160 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
4161 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
4162 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
4163 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
4164 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
4165 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
4166 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

4220 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
4222 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4223 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4224 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4225 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4226 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
4227 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
4228 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4229 but is mildly deprecated.
4230 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4231 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4232 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4233 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4234 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4235 switching to statoverrides..
4236 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4237 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4238 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4239 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4240 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4241 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4243 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4244 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4245 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4246 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4247 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4248 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4249 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4250 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4251 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4253 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4254 variable names, pod man pages).
4255 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4256 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4257 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4258 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4259 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4260 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4261 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4334 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

4427 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

4433 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4434 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4484 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4485 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
4486 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

4677 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4678 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4679 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4680 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4681 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4682 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4683 notice until v2 is complete.
4684 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatible
4685 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4686 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4687 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4688 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4689 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4691 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4692 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4693 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4818 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

4905 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4906 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4907 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4908 bits until all files have been registered.

4920 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

4977 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
4978 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
4980 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.

4988 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
4989 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
4990 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
4991 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751

5046 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
5047 I made some changes, though:
5048 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
5049 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
5050 that is a clear violation of policy.
5051 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
5052 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
5053 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
5054 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
5055 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
5056 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
5057 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
5058 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
5059 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
5061 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

5105 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
5106 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.

5226 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
5227 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
5228 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
5229 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5230 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5231 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5232 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5233 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5234 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5235 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5236 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5246 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

5477 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
5478 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
5479 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
5480 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
5481 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
5482 * debhelper.1: documented this.
5483 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
5484 current compatibility level is equal to that number.

5574 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
5575 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5991 debhelper (1.2.19) unstable; urgency=low
5993 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other
5994 debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a
5995 debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because
5996 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5997 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
5998 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.
5999 When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and
6000 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

6014 it will work on libraries with a major but no minor version in their
6015 filename (examples of such: libtcl8.0.so.1, libBLT-unoff.so.1)

6028 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
6029 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
6030 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any

6167 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
6168 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
6169 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

6184 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
6185 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
6186 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
6187 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
6188 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
6189 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
6190 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6227 sections of shared libraries.

6229 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6230 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6231 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6232 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6233 things you don't want them to.

6296 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6297 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6298 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

6556 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
6557 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6558 past week. Thanks, guys!
6560 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6561 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6562 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6563 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6564 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6565 would do in the same situation.
6566 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6567 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6569 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6571 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6572 permissions changed.
6573 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6574 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6575 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6576 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6577 files are treated identically.
6578 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
6579 * Minor man page fixes.
6580 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

6591 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6592 use -X multiple times, too.

6959 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
6960 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789

6969 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.

6990 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6991 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6992 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6993 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6994 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6995 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6996 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

7166 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
7167 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
7168 debian/README.debian.
7169 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
7170 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
7171 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
7172 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
7173 in a few situations.)

7222 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7223 the package build directory it is to act on.
7224 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7225 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7226 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
