26 not being acted on. dh can sometimes produce such logs by accident
27 when passed bundled options (like "-Nfoo" instead of "-N foo") that
28 it does not understand; and it was not possible to fix that
29 for any compat level before v8. But also, such logs can occur
30 for other reasons, like interrupted builds during development,

41 in some rule other than clean, perhaps to clean up an intermediate
42 build before a second build is run, debian/rules clean still runs it.
44 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more
45 changes may be added to that mode.
46 * Support multiarch in v9. Thanks, Steve Langasek. Closes: #617761

48 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
49 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
50 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
51 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
52 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
53 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.

77 --remaining-packages can be used again. Now all debhelper commands run

160 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
161 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
162 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
163 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
164 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
165 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
166 (genesis) still uses them.
167 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
168 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328

170 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
171 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
172 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
173 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
174 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
175 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
176 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
177 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
178 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
179 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
180 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
181 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
182 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
183 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
184 commands. (See #570039)
185 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
187 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

232 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
234 * Typo. Closes: #571968
235 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
236 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
237 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
238 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
239 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only

607 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
608 contributed by Modestas Vainius
609 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
610 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
611 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
612 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
613 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
614 that support it. Closes: #480577
615 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
616 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
617 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
619 - Adds support for cmake.
620 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
621 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
623 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
625 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
626 that use them. The options are:
627 --sourcedir, --destdir
628 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
629 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
630 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
631 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
632 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

697 * dh_installinfo: No longer inserts install-info calls into
698 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
699 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
700 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
701 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and
702 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY for proper registration. I assume there will be

1598 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1599 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1600 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1601 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1602 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1603 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1604 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1605 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1606 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1607 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1609 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1610 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1611 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1612 the not too-distant future).
1613 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1614 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
1615 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
1616 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

1988 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
1989 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
1990 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making

3313 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3314 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3315 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3316 dh_install, which ...
3317 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3318 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3319 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3320 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3321 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3322 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3323 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3324 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3325 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3326 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3327 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3328 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3329 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3330 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3331 other minor changes.
3332 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3333 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3334 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3335 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3336 course there's -X ..)
3337 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3338 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

3341 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3342 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

3420 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3422 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3423 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3424 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3425 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3426 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3427 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3428 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3429 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3430 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3431 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3432 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3433 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3434 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3435 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3436 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3437 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3439 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3472 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3474 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3475 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3476 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3477 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3478 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3479 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3480 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3481 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3482 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3656 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
3658 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3659 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3660 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3661 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3662 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3663 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3664 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3665 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3666 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3667 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3668 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
3669 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
3670 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3688 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
3690 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3691 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3692 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3693 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3694 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3695 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3696 program those options go to. So, for example,
3697 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3698 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3699 something complex. Closes: #89311

3704 debhelper (3.0.26) unstable; urgency=low
3706 * Always include package name in maintainer script fragment filenames
3707 and generated shlibs files (except for in DH_COMPAT=1 mode). This is a
3708 purely cosmetic change, and if it breaks anything, you were using an
3709 undocumented interface. Closes: #95387

3713 debhelper (3.0.25) unstable; urgency=low

3728 debhelper (3.0.23) unstable; urgency=low
3730 * dh_shlibdeps: the -l switch now just adds to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if it is
3731 already set. Newer fakeroots set it, and clobbering their settings
3732 breaks things since they LD_PRELOAD a library that is specified in the
3733 LD_LIBRARY_PATH. (blah) Closes: #97494

3760 debhelper (3.0.19) unstable; urgency=low
3762 * Now uses html2text rather than lynx for converting html changelogs.
3763 The program generates better results, and won't annoy the people who
3764 were oddly annoyed at having to install lynx. Instead, it will annoy a
3765 whole other set of people, I'm sure. Closes: #93747

3818 * dh_makeshlibs: don't follow links to .so files. Instead, we will look
3819 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,

3834 debhelper (3.0.9) unstable; urgency=low
3836 * Modified to use dpkg-architecture instead of dpkg --print-architecture.
3837 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for
3838 the hurd work. Closes: #88494
3839 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
3840 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3841 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3842 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3843 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3844 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3845 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3846 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
3847 Closes: #88464, #77743
3848 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
3849 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants
3850 us to deal with that gracefully.

3900 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3902 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3903 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3904 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3905 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3906 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3907 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3908 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3909 but is mildly deprecated.
3910 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3911 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3912 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3913 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3914 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3915 switching to statoverrides..
3916 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3917 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3918 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3919 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3920 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3921 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3923 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3924 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3925 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3926 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3927 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3928 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3929 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3930 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3931 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3933 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3934 variable names, pod man pages).
3935 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3936 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3937 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3938 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3939 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3940 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3941 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4010 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
4011 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
4012 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
4013 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4014 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
4015 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
4016 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
4017 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
4018 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
4019 it is an obsolete program.

4104 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
4105 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility:
4106 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
4107 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4108 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4109 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4110 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4112 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4113 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4114 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4116 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4118 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4119 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4120 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4121 should now be raised to severity important..
4122 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4123 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4164 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4165 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

4357 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4358 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4359 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4360 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4361 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4362 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4363 notice until v2 is complete.
4364 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4365 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4366 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4367 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4368 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4369 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4371 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4496 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4498 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4499 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4500 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4501 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4502 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4503 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
4504 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

4585 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4586 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4587 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4588 bits until all files have been registered.

4598 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4599 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4600 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

4603 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

4606 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4607 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4726 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4727 I made some changes, though:
4728 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4729 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4730 that is a clear violation of policy.
4731 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4732 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4733 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4734 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4735 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4736 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4737 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4738 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4739 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4741 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4785 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4786 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4787 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4905 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4906 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4907 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4908 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4909 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4910 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4911 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4912 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4913 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4914 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4915 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4916 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5654 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5655 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

5658 suidregister actually supports it.

5867 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5868 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5869 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

6002 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
6003 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
6004 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
6005 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

6034 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
6035 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

6047 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
6048 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
6049 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6050 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6051 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6052 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6053 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6054 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6237 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6238 past week. Thanks, guys!
6240 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6241 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6242 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6243 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6244 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6245 would do in the same situation.
6246 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6247 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6249 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6251 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6252 permissions changed.
6253 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6254 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6255 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6256 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6257 files are treated identically.
6258 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6271 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6272 use -X multiple times, too.

6547 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6549 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6550 are supported. (#16935)

6568 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6569 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:

6578 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6579 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

6582 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6583 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6584 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6585 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6586 a given package, or -i or -a.
6587 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6588 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6589 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6590 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6591 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6592 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6593 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6594 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6595 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a
6597 * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that
6598 led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is

6672 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6673 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6674 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
