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

33 triplet-strip from cross-binutils when cross-compiling; Closes: #412118.
35 * Improve handling of logging in override targets, so that
36 --remaining-packages can be used again. Now all debhelper commands run
37 in the override target are marked as running as part of the override,
38 and when the whole target is run, the log is updated to indicate that
39 commands run during the override have finished. Closes: #612828

72 * dh_installdocs: Clarify that debian/README.Debian and debian/TODO are
73 only installed into the first package listed in debian/control.

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

190 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
191 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
193 * Typo. Closes: #571968
194 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
195 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
196 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
197 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
198 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
199 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
200 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077

321 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
322 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
323 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
324 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
325 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when

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

656 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
657 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
658 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
659 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
660 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

1048 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
1049 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
1050 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting

1563 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1564 specific python version. Closes: #373853

1566 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1568 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1569 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1570 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1571 the not too-distant future).

3272 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3273 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3274 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3275 dh_install, which ...
3276 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3277 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3278 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3279 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3280 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3281 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3282 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3283 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3284 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3285 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3286 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3287 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3288 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3289 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3290 other minor changes.
3291 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3292 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3293 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3294 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3295 course there's -X ..)
3296 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3297 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

3300 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3301 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3302 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3303 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

3349 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

3351 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3352 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3379 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3381 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3382 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3383 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3384 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3385 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3386 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3387 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3388 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3389 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3390 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3391 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3392 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3393 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3394 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3395 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3396 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3398 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3433 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3434 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3435 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3436 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3437 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3438 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3439 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3440 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3441 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3617 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3618 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3619 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3620 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3621 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3622 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3623 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3624 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3625 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3626 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3627 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3629 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3650 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3651 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3652 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3653 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3654 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3655 program those options go to. So, for example,
3656 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3657 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3799 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3800 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3801 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3802 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3803 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3804 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3805 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3861 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3862 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3863 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3864 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3865 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3866 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3867 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3868 but is mildly deprecated.
3869 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3870 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3871 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3872 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3873 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3874 switching to statoverrides..
3875 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3876 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3877 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3878 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3879 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3880 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3882 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3883 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3884 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3885 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3886 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3887 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3888 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3889 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3890 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3892 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3893 variable names, pod man pages).
3894 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3895 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3896 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3897 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3898 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3899 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3900 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4064 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility:
4065 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
4066 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4067 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4068 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4069 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4071 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4072 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4073 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4075 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4077 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4078 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4079 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4080 should now be raised to severity important..
4081 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4082 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4124 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

4316 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4317 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4318 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4319 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4320 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4321 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4322 notice until v2 is complete.
4323 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4324 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4325 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4326 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4327 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4328 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4330 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4331 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.

4541 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
4542 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4543 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4544 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4545 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4546 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4547 bits until all files have been registered.

4556 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4557 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4558 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4559 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4560 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4561 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4562 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4563 otherwise change the result at all.
4565 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4566 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4567 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

4588 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4589 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4590 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4591 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4685 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4686 I made some changes, though:
4687 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4688 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4689 that is a clear violation of policy.
4690 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4691 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4692 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4693 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4694 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4695 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4696 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4697 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4698 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4700 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4744 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4745 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4746 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4864 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4865 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4866 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4867 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4868 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4869 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4870 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4871 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4872 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4873 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4874 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4875 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4885 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

4890 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5213 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
5214 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5826 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5827 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5828 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

6002 * dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
6003 cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
6004 * dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
6005 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
6006 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
6007 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
6008 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6009 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6010 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6011 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6012 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6013 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
6014 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
6015 passed any switches.

6025 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
6026 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
6027 large chunks in the process.
6028 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
6029 install many oddly named files it died on before.

6065 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

6196 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6197 past week. Thanks, guys!
6199 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6200 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6201 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6202 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6203 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6204 would do in the same situation.
6205 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6206 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6208 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6210 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6211 permissions changed.
6212 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6213 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6214 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6215 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6216 files are treated identically.
6217 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6230 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6231 use -X multiple times, too.
6232 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the

6506 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6508 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6509 are supported. (#16935)

6542 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6543 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6544 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6545 a given package, or -i or -a.
6546 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6547 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6548 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6549 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6550 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6551 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6553 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6631 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6632 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6633 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
