1 debhelper (5.0.49) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
3 * dh_installwm: Fix several stupid bugs, including:
4 - man page handling was supposed to be v6 only and was not
5 - typo in alternatives call
6 - use the basename of the wm to get the man page name
8 * dh_installwm: Also make the code to find the man page more robust and
9 fall back to not registering a man page if it is not found.

35 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
36 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
38 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
39 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
40 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
41 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
42 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
43 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
44 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
45 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
46 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
47 * Do script fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian
48 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

54 * dh_installudev: Don't fail if the link already somehow exists on initial
55 package install. Closes: #415717
56 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
57 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
58 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
59 script and then remove the python files.
60 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
61 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
62 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
63 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
64 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
65 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
66 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
67 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
68 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
69 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
70 * dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250
71 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have

186 debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
188 * Non-maintainer upload.
189 * Update of dh_python
190 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
191 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
192 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
193 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
194 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
195 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
196 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
197 specific python version. Closes: #373853
198 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
199 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
201 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
202 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
203 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
204 the not too-distant future).
205 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
206 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
207 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
208 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

579 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability

583 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

1905 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
1906 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
1907 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
1908 dh_install, which ...
1909 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
1910 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
1911 mess, as it uses debian/install.
1912 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
1913 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
1914 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
1915 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
1916 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
1917 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
1918 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
1919 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
1920 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
1921 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
1922 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
1923 other minor changes.
1924 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
1925 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
1926 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
1927 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
1928 course there's -X ..)
1929 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
1930 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
1931 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
1933 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
1934 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
1935 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
1936 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
1937 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

1981 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
1982 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
1983 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
1984 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
1985 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2012 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2014 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2015 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2016 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2017 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2018 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2019 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2020 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2021 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2022 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2023 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2024 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2025 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2026 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2027 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2028 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2029 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2031 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2045 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
2047 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
2048 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2049 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2050 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2051 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2052 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
2053 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

2064 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
2066 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2067 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2068 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2069 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2070 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2071 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2072 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2073 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2074 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2250 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars

2252 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
2253 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2254 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2255 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2256 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2257 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2258 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2259 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2260 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2262 prefixed with ".debhelper")

2282 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
2283 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
2284 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
2285 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
2286 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2287 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2288 program those options go to. So, for example,
2289 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
2290 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
2291 something complex. Closes: #89311

2432 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
2433 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
2434 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2435 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2436 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2437 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
2438 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

2494 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
2495 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2496 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2497 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2498 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
2499 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
2500 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
2501 but is mildly deprecated.
2502 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
2503 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
2504 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
2505 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
2506 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
2507 switching to statoverrides..
2508 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
2509 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
2510 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
2511 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
2512 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
2513 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
2515 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
2516 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
2517 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
2518 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
2519 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
2520 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
2521 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
2522 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
2523 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
2525 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
2526 variable names, pod man pages).
2527 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
2528 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
2529 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
2530 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
2531 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
2532 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
2533 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

2605 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
2606 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

2699 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
2700 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
2701 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
2702 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
2704 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
2705 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
2706 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
2708 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
2710 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
2711 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
2712 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
2713 should now be raised to severity important..

2757 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

2949 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
2950 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
2951 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
2952 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
2953 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
2954 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
2955 notice until v2 is complete.
2956 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
2957 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
2958 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
2959 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
2960 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
2961 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

3087 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3088 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3090 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3091 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3092 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3093 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3094 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3095 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

3177 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3178 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

3191 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3192 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

3318 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3319 I made some changes, though:
3320 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3321 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3322 that is a clear violation of policy.
3323 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3324 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3325 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3326 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3327 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3328 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3329 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3330 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3331 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3333 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3377 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3378 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3379 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3501 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3502 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3503 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3504 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3505 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3506 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3507 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

3846 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
3847 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4246 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4247 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

4250 suidregister actually supports it.

4268 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

4459 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4460 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4461 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4462 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

4566 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
4567 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
4568 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
4569 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
4570 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
4571 I apologize for the inconvenience.
4573 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
4574 remove debian/files properly.
4575 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
4576 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
4577 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

4642 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
4643 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
4644 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
4645 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
4646 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

4829 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
4830 past week. Thanks, guys!
4832 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
4833 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
4834 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
4835 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
4836 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
4837 would do in the same situation.
4838 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
4839 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
4841 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
4843 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
4844 permissions changed.
4845 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
4846 some people enjoy changing root's name.
4847 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
4848 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
4849 files are treated identically.
4850 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

4863 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
4864 use -X multiple times, too.

5177 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5178 a given package, or -i or -a.
5179 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5180 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5181 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5182 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

5184 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

5186 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5265 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
