6 * Improve handling of logging in override targets, so that
7 --remaining-packages can be used again. Now all debhelper commands run

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

85 debhelper (7.9.1) unstable; urgency=low
87 * Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
88 changes are planned for that mode.
89 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
90 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
91 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
92 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
93 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
94 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
95 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
96 (genesis) still uses them.
97 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
98 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328

100 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
101 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
102 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
103 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
104 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
105 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
106 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
107 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
108 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
109 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
110 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
111 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
112 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
113 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
114 commands. (See #570039)
115 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
117 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

162 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
164 * Typo. Closes: #571968
165 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
166 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
167 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
168 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
169 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
170 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change

535 debhelper (7.3.0) experimental; urgency=low
537 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
538 contributed by Modestas Vainius
539 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
540 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
541 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
542 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
543 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
544 that support it. Closes: #480577
545 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
546 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
547 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
549 - Adds support for cmake.
550 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
551 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
553 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
555 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
556 that use them. The options are:
557 --sourcedir, --destdir
558 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
559 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
560 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
561 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
562 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

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

846 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
847 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
848 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown

1018 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
1019 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
1020 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
1021 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
1022 logging by dh_listpackages.

1501 * dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
1502 * move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
1503 * Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
1504 lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
1505 * Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.

1526 * Non-maintainer upload.
1527 * Update of dh_python
1528 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1529 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1530 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1531 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1532 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1533 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1534 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1535 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1536 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1537 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1539 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1540 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1541 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1542 the not too-distant future).
1543 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1544 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
1545 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
1546 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
1547 thus made the build fail.

3241 debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3243 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3244 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3245 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3246 dh_install, which ...
3247 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3248 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3249 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3250 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3251 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3252 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3253 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3254 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3255 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3256 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3257 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3258 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3259 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3260 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3261 other minor changes.
3262 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3263 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3264 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3265 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3266 course there's -X ..)
3267 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3268 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3269 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3271 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3272 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3273 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3274 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3275 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3319 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3320 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3321 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3322 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3323 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3350 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3352 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3353 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3354 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3355 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3356 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3357 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3358 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3359 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3360 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3361 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3362 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3363 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3364 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3365 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3366 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3367 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3369 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3386 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3387 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3388 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3389 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3390 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

3402 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3404 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3405 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3406 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3407 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3408 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3409 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3410 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3411 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3412 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3586 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
3588 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3589 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3590 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3591 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3592 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3593 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3594 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3595 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3596 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3597 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3598 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
3599 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
3600 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3618 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
3620 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3621 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3622 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3623 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3624 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3625 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3626 program those options go to. So, for example,
3627 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3628 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3629 something complex. Closes: #89311

3767 I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for

3769 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
3770 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3771 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3772 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3773 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3774 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3775 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3776 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
3777 Closes: #88464, #77743

3830 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3832 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3833 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3834 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3835 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3836 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3837 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3838 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3839 but is mildly deprecated.
3840 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3841 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3842 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3843 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3844 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3845 switching to statoverrides..
3846 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3847 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3848 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3849 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3850 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3851 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3853 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3854 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3855 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3856 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3857 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3858 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3859 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3860 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3861 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3863 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3864 variable names, pod man pages).
3865 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3866 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3867 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3868 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3869 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3870 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3871 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4034 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
4035 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility:
4036 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
4037 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4038 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4039 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4040 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4042 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4043 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4044 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4046 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4048 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4049 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4050 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4051 should now be raised to severity important..
4052 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4053 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4095 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

4112 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
4113 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatibility.

4287 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4288 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4289 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4290 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4291 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4292 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4293 notice until v2 is complete.
4294 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4295 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4296 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4297 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4298 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4299 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4301 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4302 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4303 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4512 * dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
4513 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
4514 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4515 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4516 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4517 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4518 bits until all files have been registered.

4524 * dh_installmanpages:
4525 - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
4526 <kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
4527 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
4528 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4529 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4530 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4531 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4532 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4533 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4534 otherwise change the result at all.
4536 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4537 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4538 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
4539 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

4556 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4557 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4559 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4560 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4561 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4562 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4656 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4657 I made some changes, though:
4658 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4659 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4660 that is a clear violation of policy.
4661 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4662 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4663 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4664 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4665 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4666 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4667 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4668 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4669 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4671 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4715 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4716 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4717 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4836 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4837 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4838 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4839 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4840 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4841 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4842 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4843 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4844 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4845 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4846 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4856 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

4994 debhelper (2.0.12) unstable; urgency=low
4996 * dh_installinfo: fixed #SECTION# substitution.
4998 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Jul 1999 17:51:59 -0700
5000 debhelper (2.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
5002 * At long, long last, dh_installinfo is written. It takes a simple list of
5003 info files and figures out the rest for you. (Closes: #15717)
5005 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Jul 1999 17:04:48 -0700
5007 debhelper (2.0.10) unstable; urgency=low
5009 * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
5010 * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
5011 because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable
5013 * dh_compress: removed the usr/share/X11R6/man bit. Note part of FHS.
5015 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Jul 1999 10:46:03 -0700
5017 debhelper (2.0.09) unstable; urgency=low
5019 * dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
5020 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
5021 decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
5022 various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)

5026 debhelper (2.0.08) unstable; urgency=low
5028 * dh_*: redirect cd output to /den/null, because CD can actually output
5029 things if CDPATH is set.
5031 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 6 Jul 1999 10:14:00 -0700
5033 debhelper (2.0.07) unstable; urgency=low
5035 * Added dh_perl calls to example rules files.

5039 debhelper (2.0.06) unstable; urgency=low
5041 * Now depends on perl5 | perl, I'll kill the | perl bit later on, but it
5042 seems to make sense for the transition.

5046 debhelper (2.0.05) unstable; urgency=low
5048 * dh_clean: clean debian/tmp even if v2 is being used. If you're
5049 using dh_movefiles, stuff may well be left in there, and it needs to be

5054 debhelper (2.0.04) unstable; urgency=low
5056 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
5057 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
5058 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)
5060 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 2 Jul 1999 11:22:00 -0700
5062 debhelper (2.0.03) unstable; urgency=low
5064 * Depend on file >= 2.23-1, because dh_perl uses file -b, introduced at
5065 that version. (Closes: #40589)
5067 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:41:12 -0700
5069 debhelper (2.0.02) unstable; urgency=low
5071 * If you're going to use v2, it's reccommended you call
5072 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.
5073 * Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest
5074 supported compatibility level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
5075 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...
5077 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:08:14 -0700
5079 debhelper (2.0.01) unstable; urgency=low
5081 * Actually include doc/v2 this time round.
5083 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:01:55 -0700
5085 debhelper (2.0.00) unstable; urgency=low
5087 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
5088 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
5089 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
5090 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
5091 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
5092 * debhelper.1: documented this.
5093 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
5094 current compatibility level is equal to that number.
5095 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.
5096 * debhelper itself now builds using DH_COMPAT=2.
5097 * dh_debstd forces DH_COMPAT=1, because it needs to stay compatable with

5102 debhelper (1.9.00) unstable; urgency=low
5104 * This is a release of debhelper in preparation for debhelper v2.
5105 * doc/v2: added, documented status of v2 changes.
5106 * README: mention doc/v2
5107 * debhelper.1: docuimented DH_COMPAT
5108 * examples/*: added DH_COMAPT=1 to top of rules files
5110 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 13:16:41 -0700
5112 debhelper (1.2.83) unstable; urgency=medium
5114 * dh_perl: fixed substvars typo. Urgency medium since a lot of people will
5115 be using this script RSN.
5117 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 11:44:05 -0700
5119 debhelper (1.2.82) unstable; urgency=low
5121 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
5122 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
5123 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
5124 more than 1 init script.
5126 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 25 Jun 1999 11:38:05 -0700
5128 debhelper (1.2.81) unstable; urgency=low
5130 * dh_link: fixed bug #40159 and added a regression test for it. It was
5131 failing if it was given absolute filenames.
5133 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 25 Jun 1999 10:12:44 -0700
5135 debhelper (1.2.80) unstable; urgency=low
5137 * Changed perl version detection.
5138 * Changed call to find.

5142 debhelper (1.2.79) unstable; urgency=low
5144 * Added dh_perl by Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr>. dh_perl handles
5145 finding dependancies of perl scripts, plus deleting those annoying

5152 debhelper (1.2.78) unstable; urgency=low
5154 * Really include dh_installpam.
5156 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 15 Jun 1999 09:00:36 -0700
5158 debhelper (1.2.77) unstable; urgency=low
5160 * dh_installpam: new program by Sean <shaleh@foo.livenet.net>
5161 * Wrote man page for same.
5163 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 11 Jun 1999 13:08:04 -0700
5165 debhelper (1.2.76) unstable; urgency=low
5167 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
5168 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
5169 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.
5172 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999 20:20:01 -0700
5174 debhelper (1.2.75) unstable; urgency=low
5176 * dh_installemacsen: fixed perms of install, remove scripts.
5179 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999 14:42:12 -0700
5181 debhelper (1.2.74) unstable; urgency=low
5183 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
5184 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
5185 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)
5186 * The previous fix to dh_installemacsen was actually quite necessary - the
5187 x bit was being set!
5189 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 15:14:27 -0700
5191 debhelper (1.2.73) unstable; urgency=low
5193 * dh_installemacsen: make sure files are installed mode 0644. Not strictly
5194 necessary since dh_fixperms fixes them if you have a wacky umask, but oh
5195 well. (Closes: 38900)
5197 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:50:42 -0700
5199 debhelper (1.2.72) unstable; urgency=low
5201 * dh_installemacsen: use debian/package.emacsen-startup, not
5202 debian/package.emacsen-init. The former has always been documented to
5203 work on the man page (closes: #38898).
5205 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:16:57 -0700
5207 debhelper (1.2.71) unstable; urgency=low
5209 * Fixed a typo (closes: #38881)

5213 debhelper (1.2.70) unstable; urgency=low
5215 * dh_installmanpages: Properly quoted metacharacters in $dir in regexp.

5220 debhelper (1.2.69) unstable; urgency=low
5222 * Don't include Test.pm in the binary package.
5224 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 23 May 1999 19:29:27 -0700
5226 debhelper (1.2.68) unstable; urgency=low
5228 * doc/README: updated example of using #DEBHELPER# in a perl script, with
5229 help from Julian Gilbey.
5230 * dh_link: generate absolute symlinks where appropriate. The links
5231 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
5232 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
5233 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
5234 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
5235 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.
5236 * dh_installchangelogs: force all installed files to be owned by root

5241 debhelper (1.2.67) unstable; urgency=low
5243 * dh_installmodules: fixed type that made the program not work.

5247 debhelper (1.2.66) unstable; urgency=low

5260 debhelper (1.2.64) unstable; urgency=low
5262 * dh_installmime: new command (#37093, #32684).

5266 debhelper (1.2.63) unstable; urgency=low
5268 * dh_installxaw: updated to work with xaw-wrappers 0.90 and above. It
5269 actually has to partially parse the xaw-wrappers config files now.

5273 debhelper (1.2.62) unstable; urgency=low
5275 * dh_installemacsen: added support for site-start files. Added --flavor
5276 and --number to control details of installation. (#36832)

5280 debhelper (1.2.61) unstable; urgency=low
5282 * dh_md5sums.1: dh_md5sums is not deprecated, AFAIK, but the manpage has
5283 somehow been modified to say it was at version 1.2.45.

5293 debhelper (1.2.59) unstable; urgency=low
5295 * dh_builddeb: added --destdir option, which lets you tell it where
5296 to put the generated .deb's. Default is .. of course.

5312 debhelper (1.2.56) unstable; urgency=low
5314 * dh_suidregister: make the chown/chmod only happen if the file actually
5315 exists. This is useful if you have conffiles that have permissions and
5316 may be deleted. (#35845)

5328 debhelper (1.2.54) unstable; urgency=low
5330 * dh_installinit.1: man page fixups (#34160).
5331 * *.1: the date of each man page is now automatically updated when
5332 debhelper is built to be the last modification time of the man page.

5336 debhelper (1.2.53) unstable; urgency=low
5338 * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to
5339 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.
5340 Probably fixes #35677. Actually, it now skips files with a whole
5341 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and
5343 * dh_compress.1: updated docs to reflect this, and to give the new
5344 suggested starting point if you want to write your own debian/compress

5367 debhelper (1.2.49) unstable; urgency=low
5369 * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of
5370 even symlinks. This could have even caused it to follow the symlinks and
5371 modify files on the build system in some cases. Ignores them now. (#35102)

5409 debhelper (1.2.43) unstable; urgency=low
5411 * dh_compress.1: man page fixes (Closes: #33858).
5412 * dh_compress: now it can handle compressing arbitrary numbers of files,
5413 spawning gzip multiple times like xargs does, if necessary.

5555 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

5582 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
5583 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
5584 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5585 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

5588 suidregister actually supports it.

5606 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

5795 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to

5797 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5798 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5799 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5800 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6165 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
6166 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
6167 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6168 past week. Thanks, guys!
6170 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6171 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6172 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6173 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6174 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6175 would do in the same situation.
6176 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6177 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6179 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6181 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6182 permissions changed.
6183 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6184 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6185 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6186 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6187 files are treated identically.
6188 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
6189 * Minor man page fixes.
6190 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

6200 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
6201 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6202 use -X multiple times, too.
6203 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
6204 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6229 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
6230 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

6498 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6499 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
6500 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the

6513 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6514 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6515 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6516 a given package, or -i or -a.
6517 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6518 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6519 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6520 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6521 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6522 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6524 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6552 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

6600 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6601 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6602 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6603 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6604 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6605 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6606 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6775 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6776 it is installed as TODO.Debian.

6778 debian/README.debian.
6779 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6780 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6781 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6782 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6783 in a few situations.)

6829 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6832 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6833 the package build directory it is to act on.
6834 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6835 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
