4 * dh_auto_clean: Inhibit logging, so that, if dh_auto_clean is used
5 in some rule other than clean, perhaps to clean up an intermediate
6 build before a second build is run, debian/rules clean still runs it.
8 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more
9 changes may be added to that mode.
10 * Support multiarch in v9. Thanks, Steve Langasek. Closes: #617761
11 * dh_auto_configure: Support multiarch in v9 by passing multiarch
12 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
13 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
14 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
15 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
16 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
17 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.
18 * Removed old example rules files.
19 * dh_installgsettings: New command to handle gsettings schema files.
23 * update french translation.
24 * Fix french misspelling.

40 * Improve handling of logging in override targets, so that
41 --remaining-packages can be used again. Now all debhelper commands run
42 in the override target are marked as running as part of the override,
43 and when the whole target is run, the log is updated to indicate that
44 commands run during the override have finished. Closes: #612828

123 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
124 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
125 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
126 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
127 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
128 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
129 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
130 (genesis) still uses them.
131 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
132 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
133 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
134 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
135 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
136 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
137 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
138 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
139 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
140 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
141 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
142 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
143 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
144 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
145 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
146 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
147 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
148 commands. (See #570039)
149 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
151 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

195 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
196 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
198 * Typo. Closes: #571968
199 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
200 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
201 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
202 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
203 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
204 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change

571 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
572 contributed by Modestas Vainius
573 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
574 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
575 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
576 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
577 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
578 that support it. Closes: #480577
579 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
580 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
581 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
583 - Adds support for cmake.
584 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
585 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
587 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
589 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
590 that use them. The options are:
591 --sourcedir, --destdir
592 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
593 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
594 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
595 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
596 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

661 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
662 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
663 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
664 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
665 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
666 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be
667 some mass bug filing for any packages that do not have that.

1050 * Add missing $! to error message when the log can't be opened.
1051 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
1052 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
1053 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
1054 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
1055 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
1056 logging by dh_listpackages.

1086 lines), while still exposing the full power of debhelper when it's
1088 * dh_auto_configure: New program, automates running ./configure,
1089 Makefile.PL, and python distutils. Calls them with exactly the same
1090 options as cdbs does by default, and allows adding/overriding options.
1091 * dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
1092 running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems

1099 setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
1100 MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned
1101 but not yet implemented.)

1103 recommended default, especially when using dh.
1104 * dh_install: In v7 mode, if --sourcedir is not specified, first look for
1105 files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This

1222 much smarter, and these options are almost never needed. Closes: #459226

1408 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most

1434 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1435 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1436 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of

1568 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1569 specific python version. Closes: #373853

1571 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1573 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1574 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1575 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1576 the not too-distant future).

3277 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3278 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3279 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3280 dh_install, which ...
3281 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3282 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3283 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3284 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3285 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3286 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3287 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3288 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3289 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3290 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3291 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3292 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3293 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3294 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3295 other minor changes.
3296 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3297 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3298 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3299 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3300 course there's -X ..)
3301 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3302 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3303 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3305 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3306 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3307 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3308 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3309 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3356 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3357 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3384 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3386 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3387 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3388 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3389 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3390 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3391 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3392 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3393 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3394 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3395 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3396 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3397 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3398 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3399 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3400 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3401 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3403 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3421 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3422 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3423 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

3438 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3439 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3440 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3441 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3442 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3443 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3444 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3445 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3446 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3622 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3623 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3624 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3625 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3626 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3627 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3628 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3629 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3630 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3631 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3632 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3634 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3655 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3656 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3657 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3658 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3659 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3660 program those options go to. So, for example,
3661 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3662 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3804 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3805 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3806 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3807 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3808 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3809 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3866 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3867 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3868 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3869 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3870 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3871 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3872 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3873 but is mildly deprecated.
3874 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3875 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3876 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3877 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3878 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3879 switching to statoverrides..
3880 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3881 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3882 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3883 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3884 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3885 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3887 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3888 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3889 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3890 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3891 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3892 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3893 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3894 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3895 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3897 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3898 variable names, pod man pages).
3899 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3900 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3901 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3902 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3903 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3904 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3905 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4070 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
4071 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4072 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4073 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4074 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4076 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4077 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4078 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4080 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4082 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4083 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4084 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4085 should now be raised to severity important..
4086 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4087 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4321 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4322 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4323 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4324 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4325 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4326 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4327 notice until v2 is complete.
4328 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4329 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4330 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4331 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4332 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4333 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4335 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4546 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
4547 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4548 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4549 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4550 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4551 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4552 bits until all files have been registered.

4561 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4562 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4563 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4564 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4565 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4566 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4567 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4568 otherwise change the result at all.
4570 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4571 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4572 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4593 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4594 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4595 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4596 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4690 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4691 I made some changes, though:
4692 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4693 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4694 that is a clear violation of policy.
4695 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4696 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4697 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4698 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4699 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4700 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4701 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4702 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4703 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4705 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4747 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4748 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4749 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4750 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4751 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4869 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4870 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4871 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4872 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4873 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4874 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4875 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4876 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4877 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4878 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4879 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4880 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4890 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

4892 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that

4895 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5054 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

5123 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
5124 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except

5201 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
5202 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
5203 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

5218 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
5219 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5831 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new

6008 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
6009 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
6010 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
6011 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
6012 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
6013 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6014 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6015 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6016 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6017 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6018 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
6019 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
6020 passed any switches.

6031 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
6032 large chunks in the process.

6201 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6202 past week. Thanks, guys!
6204 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6205 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6206 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6207 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6208 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6209 would do in the same situation.
6210 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6211 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6213 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6215 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6216 permissions changed.
6217 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6218 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6219 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6220 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6221 files are treated identically.
6222 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6235 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6236 use -X multiple times, too.
6237 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

6511 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6513 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6514 are supported. (#16935)

6547 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6548 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6549 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6550 a given package, or -i or -a.
6551 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6552 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6553 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6554 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6555 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6556 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6558 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6636 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6637 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6638 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
