91 debhelper (8.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
93 * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
94 to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
95 allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
96 build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
97 specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
99 Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
100 but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
101 dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
103 Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
104 overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
105 too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
106 old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
107 acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
108 a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
109 * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
110 in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
111 * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
112 rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
113 Closes: #639341 Thanks, Yann Dirson for test case.

368 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
369 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
370 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
371 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
372 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
373 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
374 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
375 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
376 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
377 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
378 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
379 commands. (See #570039)

554 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
555 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
556 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
557 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
558 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
559 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
560 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
561 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
562 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
563 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
564 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
565 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
566 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
567 time soon.) Closes: #554509
568 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
570 * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatibility level 4.
571 (Man page already said it was deprecated.) Closes: #555899

573 document id. Closes: #555677
574 * Typo. Closes: #555659
575 * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
576 Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
577 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
578 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
580 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
581 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
582 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

613 (It was only run once due to logging.)
614 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
615 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
616 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
617 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
618 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
619 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
620 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
621 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev

641 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
642 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
643 flag with arch all/any packages.
644 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
645 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
646 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
647 situation. Closes: #540794

802 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
803 contributed by Modestas Vainius
804 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
805 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
806 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
807 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
808 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
809 that support it. Closes: #480577
810 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
811 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
812 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
814 - Adds support for cmake.
815 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
816 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
818 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
820 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
821 that use them. The options are:
822 --sourcedir, --destdir
823 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
824 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
825 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
826 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
827 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

1105 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,

1111 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
1112 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
1113 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
1114 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1639 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1641 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1642 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version

1660 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1661 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1662 script and then remove the python files.
1663 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1664 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1665 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1666 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1667 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1668 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963

1670 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in

1672 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1796 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1797 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1798 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1799 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1800 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1801 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1802 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1804 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1805 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1806 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1807 the not too-distant future).

1988 * dh_installdebconf: drop all support for old-style translated debconf
1989 templates files via debconf-mergetemplate (keep a warning if any are

2026 * Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
2027 * Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
2028 "\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
2029 prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
2030 as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
2031 via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
2032 was originally made.) Closes: #349070

2061 * dh_installinit: If run with -o, do the inverse of -n and only
2062 set up maintainer script snippets, w/o installing any files.
2063 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
2064 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
2065 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980
2066 * -o might be added for other similar commands later if there is any
2067 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

2182 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatibility
2183 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
2184 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
2185 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
2186 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

3067 debhelper (4.1.37) unstable; urgency=low
3069 * dh_installmenu: Refer to menufile(5) instead of 5L so as not to confuse

3088 debhelper (4.1.33) unstable; urgency=low
3090 * wiggy didn't take my hint about making update-modules send warnings to

3094 usr/share/doc, not in a deeper tree. Closes: #152602

3126 * dh_python: Bug fix from Josselin Mouette for case of building an arch
3127 indep python package depending on a arch dependent package. However, I
3128 used GetPackages() rather than add yet another control file parser.

3148 debhelper (4.1.26) unstable; urgency=low
3150 * dh_builddeb: Reluctantly call dpkg-deb directly. dpkg cannot pass extra

3185 debhelper (4.1.21) unstable; urgency=low
3187 * Make dh_install --list-missing honor -X excludes. Closes: #168739
3188 * As a special case, if --sourcedir is not set (so is "."), make
3189 --list-missing look only at what is in debian/tmp. This is gross, but
3190 people have come to depend on that behavior, and that combination has no
3191 other sane meaning. Closes: #168751
3193 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 14 Nov 2002 10:56:21 -0500
3195 debhelper (4.1.20) unstable; urgency=low
3197 * typo in dh_shlibdeps(1), Closes: #167421

3202 debhelper (4.1.19) unstable; urgency=low

3210 debhelper (4.1.18) unstable; urgency=low
3212 * Use dpkg-architecture instead of dpkg --print-architecture (again?)
3214 * typo fix Closes: #164958 The rest seems clear enough from context, so

3219 debhelper (4.1.17) unstable; urgency=low

3225 debhelper (4.1.16) unstable; urgency=low
3227 * Depend on po-debconf, and I hope I can drop the debconf-utils dep soon.
3229 * Removed debconf-utils build-dep. Have no idea why that was there.
3230 * dh_installman: Don't use extended section as section name for translated
3231 man pages, use only the numeric section as is done for regular man pages.
3234 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 7 Oct 2002 11:49:37 -0400
3236 debhelper (4.1.15) unstable; urgency=low
3238 * dh_compress: Exclude .css files, to prevent broken links from html files,
3239 and since they are generally small, and since this matches existing
3240 practice. Closes: #163303
3242 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 5 Oct 2002 15:04:44 -0400
3244 debhelper (4.1.14) unstable; urgency=low

3257 debhelper (4.1.12) unstable; urgency=low
3259 * The "reverse hangover" release.
3260 * dh_strip: better documentation, removed extraneous "item" from SYNOPSIS.
3262 * dh_strip: detect and don't strip debug/*.so files.
3263 * Note that 4.1.11 changelog entry was incorrect, dh_perl worked fine
3264 without that change, but the new behavior is less likely to break things
3265 if dpkg-gencontrol changes.
3266 * Various improvements to debhelper(1).
3268 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 27 Sep 2002 19:37:19 -0400
3270 debhelper (4.1.11) unstable; urgency=low
3272 * Make addsubstvars remove old instances of line before adding new. This
3273 will make dh_perl get deps right for packages that have perl modules and

3291 debhelper (4.1.8) unstable; urgency=low
3293 * Use invoke-rc.d always now that it is in policy. Fall back to old behavior
3294 if invoke-rc.d is not present, so versioned deps on sysvinit are not

3299 debhelper (4.1.7) unstable; urgency=low

3305 debhelper (4.1.6) unstable; urgency=low

3322 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 17 Aug 2002 23:05:45 -0400
3324 debhelper (4.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
3326 * dh_installinit: Always start daemon on upgraded even if
3327 --no-restart-on-upgrade is given; since the daemon is not stopped
3328 with that parameter starting it again is a no-op, unless the daemon was
3329 not running for some reason. This makes transtions to using the flag
3330 easier. Closes: #90976 and sorry it took me so long to verify you were

3356 debhelper (4.0.19) unstable; urgency=low
3358 * Make dh_installchangelogs install debian/NEWS files as well, as
3359 NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
3360 these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
3361 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
3362 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
3363 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

3367 debhelper (4.0.18) unstable; urgency=low
3369 * Removed a seemingly useless -dDepends in dh_shlibdeps's call to
3370 dpkg-shalibdeps; this allows for stuff like dh_shlibdeps -- -dRecommends
3372 * Added a --list-missing parameter to dh_install, which calc may find

3377 debhelper (4.0.17) unstable; urgency=low
3379 * In dh_install, don't limit to -type f when doing the find due to -X.
3380 This makes it properly install syml8inks, cf my rpm bug.

3384 debhelper (4.0.16) unstable; urgency=low
3386 * Patch from doogie to make dh_movefiles support -X. Closes: #150978
3387 * Pound home in dh_installman's man page that yet, it really does do the
3388 right thing. Closes: #150644

3406 debhelper (4.0.13) unstable; urgency=low
3408 * Added --mainpackage= option, of use in some kernel modules packages.
3409 * dh_gencontrol only needs to pass -p to dpkg-gencontrol if there is more
3410 than one package in debian/control. This makes it a bit more flexible in

3415 debhelper (4.0.12) unstable; urgency=low
3417 * Fixed debconf-utils dependency.

3421 debhelper (4.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
3423 * dh_compress: always compress .pcf files in
3424 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/{100dpi,75dpi,misc}, as is required by policy.

3428 debhelper (4.0.10) unstable; urgency=low
3430 * Consistently use the which command instead of command -v or hardcoded
3431 paths in autoscripts. Neither is in posix, but which is in debianutils, so
3432 will always be available. command -v is not available in zsh.

3450 debhelper (4.0.7) unstable; urgency=low
3452 * dh_strip: If a file is an ELF shared binary, does not have a .so.* in its
3453 name, stirp it as a ELF binary. It seems that GNUstep has files of this
3454 sort. See bug #35733 (not sufficient to close all of it).

3470 debhelper (4.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
3472 * Set DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=CVS and debhelper will exclude CVS directories
3473 from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
3474 will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
3475 * dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <eric@debian.org> adds support for
3476 --sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
3477 debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
3478 * dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573
3479 * dh_installdebconf: pass --drop-old-templates to debconf-mergetemplate.
3480 Means debhelper has to depend on debconf-utils 1.1.1.

3506 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3508 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3509 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3510 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3511 dh_install, which ...
3512 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3513 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3514 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3515 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3516 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3517 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3518 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3519 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3520 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3521 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3522 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3523 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3524 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3525 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3526 other minor changes.
3527 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3528 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3529 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3530 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3531 course there's -X ..)
3532 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3533 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3534 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3536 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3537 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3538 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3539 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3540 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3584 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3585 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3586 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3587 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3588 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3615 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3617 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3618 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3619 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3620 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3621 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3622 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3623 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3624 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3625 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3626 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3627 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3628 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3629 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3630 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3631 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3632 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3634 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3652 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3653 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!

3667 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3669 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3670 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3671 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3672 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3673 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3674 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3675 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3676 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3677 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3861 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3862 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3863 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

4014 for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3,

4035 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
4036 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
4037 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
4038 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
4039 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
4040 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
4041 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

4095 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
4097 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4098 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4099 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4100 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4101 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
4102 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
4103 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4104 but is mildly deprecated.
4105 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4106 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4107 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4108 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4109 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4110 switching to statoverrides..
4111 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4112 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4113 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4114 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4115 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4116 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4118 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4119 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4120 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4121 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4122 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4123 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4124 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4125 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4126 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4128 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4129 variable names, pod man pages).
4130 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4131 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4132 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4133 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4134 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4135 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4136 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4208 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4209 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

4211 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

4302 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4303 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4304 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4305 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4307 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4308 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4309 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4314 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4315 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

4550 debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
4552 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4553 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4554 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4555 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4556 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4557 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4558 notice until v2 is complete.
4559 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4560 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4561 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4562 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4563 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4564 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4566 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4567 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4568 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
4569 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

4690 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4691 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4693 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4694 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4695 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4696 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4697 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

4779 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4780 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4781 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4782 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4783 bits until all files have been registered.

4793 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4794 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4795 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4796 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4797 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4798 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4799 otherwise change the result at all.
4801 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4802 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4922 I made some changes, though:
4923 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4924 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4925 that is a clear violation of policy.
4926 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4927 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4928 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4929 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4930 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4931 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4932 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4933 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4934 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4936 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4978 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4979 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4980 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4981 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4982 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
4983 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the

5100 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
5101 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
5102 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
5103 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
5104 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5105 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5106 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5107 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5108 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5109 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5110 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5111 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5121 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

5123 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
5124 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
5125 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
5126 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

6030 perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.

6040 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
6041 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
6042 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
6043 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
6044 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

6057 * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>
6058 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
6059 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
6060 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
6061 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
6062 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
6063 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
6064 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
6065 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6101 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
6102 sections of shared libraries.
6103 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
6104 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6105 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6106 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6107 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6108 things you don't want them to.

6171 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6172 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6173 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

6247 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6248 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6249 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6432 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6433 past week. Thanks, guys!
6435 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6436 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6437 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6438 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6439 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6440 would do in the same situation.

6442 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

6446 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their

6449 some people enjoy changing root's name.

6451 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6452 files are treated identically.

6781 a given package, or -i or -a.

6783 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.

7001 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
7002 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
7003 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
7004 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
7005 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

7011 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
7012 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
7013 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
7014 multiple binary packages.
7015 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
7016 should rebuild them with this version.
7017 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

7035 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
7037 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
7038 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
7039 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
7040 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
7041 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
7042 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
7043 debian/README.debian.
7044 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
7045 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
7046 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
7047 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
7048 in a few situations.)

7079 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
7081 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
7082 is ready for general use.
7083 * Added man pages for all commands.
7084 * Multiple binary package support.
7085 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
7086 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
7087 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
7089 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
7090 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
7091 auto-installed as parameters.
7092 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7094 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7097 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7098 the package build directory it is to act on.
7099 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7100 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7101 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
