23 * dh_clean: Remove debhelper logs for all packages, including packages
24 not being acted on. dh can sometimes produce such logs by accident
25 when passed bundled options (like "-Nfoo" instead of "-N foo") that
26 it does not understand; and it was not possible to fix that
27 for any compat level before v8. But also, such logs can occur
28 for other reasons, like interrupted builds during development,
29 and it should be safe to clean them all. Closes: #623446

38 * dh_auto_clean: Inhibit logging, so that, if dh_auto_clean is used
39 in some rule other than clean, perhaps to clean up an intermediate
40 build before a second build is run, debian/rules clean still runs it.
42 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more
43 changes may be added to that mode.
44 * Support multiarch in v9. Thanks, Steve Langasek. Closes: #617761
45 * dh_auto_configure: Support multiarch in v9 by passing multiarch
46 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
47 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
48 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
49 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
50 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
51 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.

74 * Improve handling of logging in override targets, so that
75 --remaining-packages can be used again. Now all debhelper commands run
76 in the override target are marked as running as part of the override,

78 commands run during the override have finished. Closes: #612828

93 which can contain dpkg-maintscript-helper commands. This can be used
94 to automate moving or removing conffiles, or anything added to

105 * dh: Improve filtering in dh_listpackages example. Closes: #604561

158 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
159 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
160 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
161 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
162 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
163 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
164 (genesis) still uses them.
165 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
166 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
167 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
168 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
169 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
170 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
171 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
172 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
173 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
174 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
175 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
176 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
177 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
178 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
179 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
180 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
181 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
182 commands. (See #570039)
183 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
185 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

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

506 --install-layout=deb to 'setup.py install` for those Python
507 versions where the option is ignored by distutils/setuptools.
508 Thanks to Julian Andres Klode for the bug report.

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

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

915 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
916 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown

1087 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
1088 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that

1595 * Update of dh_python
1596 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1597 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1598 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1599 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1600 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1601 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1602 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1603 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1604 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1605 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1607 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1608 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1609 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1610 the not too-distant future).
1611 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1612 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
1613 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
1614 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and

3311 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3312 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3313 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3314 dh_install, which ...
3315 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3316 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3317 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3318 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3319 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3320 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3321 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3322 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3323 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3324 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3325 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3326 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3327 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3328 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3329 other minor changes.
3330 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3331 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3332 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3333 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3334 course there's -X ..)
3335 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3336 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3337 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3339 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3340 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3341 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3342 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3343 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3387 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3388 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3389 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3390 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3391 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3418 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3420 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3421 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3422 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3423 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3424 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3425 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3426 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3427 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3428 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3429 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3430 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3431 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3432 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3433 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3434 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3435 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3437 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3454 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3455 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3456 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3457 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to

3472 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3473 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3474 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3475 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3476 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3477 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3478 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3479 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3480 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3656 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3657 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3658 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3659 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3660 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3661 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3662 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3663 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3664 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3665 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3666 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3668 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3690 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3691 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3692 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3693 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3694 program those options go to. So, for example,
3695 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3696 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3838 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3839 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3840 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3841 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3842 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3843 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3900 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3901 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3902 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3903 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3904 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3905 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3906 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3907 but is mildly deprecated.
3908 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3909 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3910 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3911 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3912 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3913 switching to statoverrides..
3914 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3915 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3916 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3917 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3918 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3919 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3921 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3922 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3923 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3924 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3925 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3926 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3927 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3928 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3929 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3931 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3932 variable names, pod man pages).
3933 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3934 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3935 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3936 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3937 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3938 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3939 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4008 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
4009 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
4010 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
4011 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4012 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
4013 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
4014 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
4015 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
4016 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
4017 it is an obsolete program.

4103 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility:
4104 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
4105 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4106 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4107 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4108 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4110 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4111 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4112 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4114 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4116 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4117 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4118 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4119 should now be raised to severity important..
4120 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4121 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4162 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4163 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

4355 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4356 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4357 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4358 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4359 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4360 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4361 notice until v2 is complete.
4362 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4363 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4364 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4365 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4366 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4367 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4369 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4494 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4496 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4497 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4498 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4499 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4500 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4501 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
4502 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

4583 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4584 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4585 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4586 bits until all files have been registered.

4596 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4597 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4598 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

4601 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

4604 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4605 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4724 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4725 I made some changes, though:
4726 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4727 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4728 that is a clear violation of policy.
4729 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4730 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4731 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4732 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4733 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4734 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4735 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4736 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4737 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4739 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4783 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4784 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4785 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4903 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4904 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4905 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4906 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4907 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4908 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4909 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4910 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4911 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4912 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4913 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4914 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5652 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make

5656 suidregister actually supports it.

5865 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5866 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5867 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

6000 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
6001 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
6002 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
6003 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

6032 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
6033 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

6044 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
6045 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
6046 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
6047 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6048 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6049 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6050 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6051 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6052 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6066 large chunks in the process.

6235 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6236 past week. Thanks, guys!
6238 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6239 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6240 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6241 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6242 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6243 would do in the same situation.
6244 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6245 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6247 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6249 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6250 permissions changed.
6251 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6252 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6253 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6254 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6255 files are treated identically.
6256 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6269 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6270 use -X multiple times, too.

6545 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6576 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6577 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

6581 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6582 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6583 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6584 a given package, or -i or -a.
6585 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6586 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6587 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6588 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6589 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6590 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6591 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6592 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6671 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6672 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
