11 debhelper (8.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
13 * dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
14 to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. This
15 allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where
16 build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually
17 specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965
19 Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch,
20 but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden
21 dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages.
23 Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new
24 overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been
25 too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an
26 old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only
27 acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be
28 a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided.
29 * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip
30 in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep.
31 * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the
32 rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
33 Closes: #639341 Thanks, Yann Dirson for test case.
34 * debhelper no longer build-depends on man-db or file, to ease bootstrapping.
35 * Remove obsolete versioned dependency on perl-base.
36 * Avoid writing debhelper log files in no-act mode. Closes: #640586

287 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
288 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
289 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
290 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
291 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
292 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
293 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
294 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
295 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
296 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
297 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
298 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
299 commands. (See #570039)

725 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
726 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
727 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
728 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
729 that support it. Closes: #480577
730 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
731 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
732 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
734 - Adds support for cmake.
735 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
736 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
738 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
740 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
741 that use them. The options are:
742 --sourcedir, --destdir
743 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
744 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
745 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
746 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
747 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

1018 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
1019 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
1021 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
1022 that uses them. Affected options are:
1023 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
1024 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
1025 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
1026 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
1027 --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
1028 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
1029 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
1030 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
1031 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
1032 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
1033 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
1034 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

1500 to Josselin Mouette, Ross Burton, Jordi Mallach, and Loïc Minier.
1502 * Note that as a transitional measure, dh_icons will currently only update
1503 existing caches, and not create and new caches. Once everything is
1504 updating the icon caches, this will be changed. See #329460 for the full
1506 * Remove possibly confusing (though strictly accurate) sentence from

1558 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1559 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1561 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1562 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1563 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
1564 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
1565 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
1566 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
1567 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
1568 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
1569 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

1579 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
1580 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1581 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1582 script and then remove the python files.
1583 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1584 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1585 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1586 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1587 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1588 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1589 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1590 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1591 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1592 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1713 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1714 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1715 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1716 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1717 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1718 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1719 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1720 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1721 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1722 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1724 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1725 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1726 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1727 the not too-distant future).
1728 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1729 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

1981 * dh_installinit: If run with -o, do the inverse of -n and only
1982 set up maintainer script snippets, w/o installing any files.
1983 Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
1984 and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
1985 it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980
1986 * -o might be added for other similar commands later if there is any
1987 reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

2106 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

3428 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3429 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3430 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3431 dh_install, which ...
3432 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3433 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3434 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3435 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3436 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3437 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3438 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3439 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3440 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3441 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3442 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3443 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3444 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3445 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3446 other minor changes.
3447 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3448 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3449 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3450 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3451 course there's -X ..)
3452 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3453 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3454 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3456 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3457 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3458 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3459 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3460 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3504 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3505 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3506 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3507 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3508 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.
3510 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.

3535 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3537 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3538 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3539 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3540 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3541 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3542 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3543 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3544 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3545 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3546 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3547 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3548 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3549 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3550 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3551 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3552 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3554 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3573 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!

3587 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
3589 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3590 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3591 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3592 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3593 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3594 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3595 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3596 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3597 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3777 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3778 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3779 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3780 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3781 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3782 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3783 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3809 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3810 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3811 program those options go to. So, for example,
3812 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3813 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

4015 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
4017 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
4018 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
4019 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
4020 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
4021 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
4022 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
4023 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
4024 but is mildly deprecated.
4025 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
4026 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
4027 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
4028 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4029 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4030 switching to statoverrides..
4031 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4032 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4033 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4034 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4035 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4036 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4038 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4039 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4040 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4041 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4042 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4043 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4044 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4045 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4046 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4048 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4049 variable names, pod man pages).
4050 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4051 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4052 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4053 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4054 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4055 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4056 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4125 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
4126 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
4127 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
4128 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4129 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
4130 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
4131 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
4132 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
4133 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
4134 it is an obsolete program.

4222 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4223 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4224 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4225 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4227 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4228 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4229 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4231 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4233 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4234 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4235 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4236 should now be raised to severity important..
4237 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4238 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4279 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4280 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major

4476 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4477 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4478 notice until v2 is complete.
4479 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4480 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4481 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4482 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4483 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4484 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4486 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4487 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4488 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
4489 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

4616 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

4699 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
4700 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4701 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4702 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4703 bits until all files have been registered.

4713 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4714 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4715 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4716 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4717 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4718 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4719 otherwise change the result at all.
4721 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4722 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4842 I made some changes, though:
4843 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4844 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4845 that is a clear violation of policy.
4846 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4847 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4848 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4849 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4850 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4851 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4852 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4853 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4854 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4856 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

5020 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
5021 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
5022 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
5023 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
5024 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
5025 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
5026 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
5027 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
5028 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5029 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5030 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5031 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5038 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
5039 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
5041 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
5042 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
5043 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
5044 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
5045 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
5046 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5982 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5983 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5984 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5985 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5998 a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,

6021 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
6022 sections of shared libraries.
6023 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
6024 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
6025 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
6026 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
6027 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
6028 things you don't want them to.

6057 a debian/compress file returned an error code. This was actually
6058 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page

6089 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
6090 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
6091 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6092 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6093 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
6094 I apologize for the inconvenience.
6096 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
6097 remove debian/files properly.
6098 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

6100 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

6117 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
6118 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that

6149 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
6150 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.

6161 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
6162 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
6163 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
6164 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6165 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6166 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6167 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6168 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6169 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6171 passed any switches.

6352 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6353 past week. Thanks, guys!
6355 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6356 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6357 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6358 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6359 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6360 would do in the same situation.
6361 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6362 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6364 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6366 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6367 permissions changed.
6368 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6369 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6370 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6371 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6372 files are treated identically.

6387 use -X multiple times, too.

6516 dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
6517 * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command

6662 use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)

6664 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
6665 are supported. (#16935)

6682 * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit
6683 version requirements in the shlibs file.
6684 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}:
6685 Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the
6686 command line apply to ALL packages acted on.

6691 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low
6693 * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number
6694 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.
6695 * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of
6697 * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}:
6698 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command
6699 line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the
6700 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6701 a given package, or -i or -a.
6702 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6703 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6704 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6705 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6706 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6707 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6708 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6709 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.
6710 * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a

6737 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so

6786 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6787 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6788 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6789 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)

6999 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
7001 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
7002 is ready for general use.
7003 * Added man pages for all commands.
7004 * Multiple binary package support.
7005 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
7006 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
7007 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
7009 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
7010 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
7011 auto-installed as parameters.
7012 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
7014 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
7017 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
7018 the package build directory it is to act on.
7019 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
7020 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
7021 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
