9 * dh: In v9, any standard rules file targets, including build-arch,
10 build-indep, build, install, etc, can be defined in debian/rules
11 without needing to explicitly tell make the dependencies between
12 the targets. Closes: #629139

15 in --libexecdir when using autoconf. Closes: #541458

17 listed by dpkg-buildflags --export. Any environment variables that
18 are already set to other values will not be changed.

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

57 debhelper (8.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
60 * dh_auto_clean: Inhibit logging, so that, if dh_auto_clean is used
61 in some rule other than clean, perhaps to clean up an intermediate
62 build before a second build is run, debian/rules clean still runs it.
64 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more
65 changes may be added to that mode.
66 * Support multiarch in v9. Thanks, Steve Langasek. Closes: #617761
67 * dh_auto_configure: Support multiarch in v9 by passing multiarch
68 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
69 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
70 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
71 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
72 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
73 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.
74 * Removed old example rules files.
75 * dh_installgsettings: New command to handle gsettings schema files.
79 * update french translation.
80 * Fix french misspelling.

94 triplet-strip from cross-binutils when cross-compiling; Closes: #412118.
96 * Improve handling of logging in override targets, so that
97 --remaining-packages can be used again. Now all debhelper commands run
98 in the override target are marked as running as part of the override,
99 and when the whole target is run, the log is updated to indicate that
100 commands run during the override have finished. Closes: #612828

104 debhelper (8.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
107 * python_distutils: Pass --force to setup.py build, to ensure that when
108 python-dbg is run it does not win and result in scripts having it in
109 the shebang line. Closes: #589759
110 * Man page fixes about what program -u passes params to. Closes: #593342
111 * Avoid open fd 5 or 6 breaking buildsystem test suite. Closes: #596679
112 * Large update to Spanish man page translations by Omar Campagne.
114 * dh_installdeb: Support debian/package.maintscript files,
115 which can contain dpkg-maintscript-helper commands. This can be used
116 to automate moving or removing conffiles, or anything added to
117 dpkg-maintscript-helper later on. Closes: #574443

119 * Massive man page typography patch. Closes: #600883
120 (Thanks, David Prévot)
121 * Explicitly build-depend on a new enough perl-base. Closes: #601188
122 * dh: Inhibit logging when an override target runs the overridden command,
123 to avoid unexpected behavior if the command succeeded but the overall
124 target fails. Closes: #601037
125 * Fix deprecated command list on translated debhelper(7) man pages.
127 * dh: Improve filtering in dh_listpackages example. Closes: #604561
128 * dh: Add support for build-arch, build-indep, install-arch and
129 install-indep sequences. Closes: #604563
130 (Thanks, Roger Leigh)
131 * dh_listpackages: Do not display warnings if options cause no packages
133 * dh_installdocs: Clarify that debian/README.Debian and debian/TODO are
134 only installed into the first package listed in debian/control.
136 * dh_compress: Javascript files are not compressed, as these go with
137 (uncompressed) html files. Closes: #603553
138 * dh_compress: Ignore objects.inv files, generated by Sphinx documentation.
140 * dh_installinit: never call init scripts directly, only through invoke-rc.d

169 * In v8 mode, stop passing packlist=0 in perl_makemaker buildsystem,
170 since perl_build is tried first. Avoids the makemaker warning message
171 introduced by the fix to #527990.

175 debhelper (7.9.1) unstable; urgency=low
177 * Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
178 changes are planned for that mode.
179 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
180 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
181 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
182 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
183 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
184 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
185 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
186 (genesis) still uses them.
187 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
188 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
189 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
190 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
191 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
192 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
193 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
194 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
195 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
196 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
197 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
198 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
199 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
200 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
201 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
202 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
203 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
204 commands. (See #570039)
205 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
207 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

246 debhelper (7.4.16) unstable; urgency=low
248 * Updated French translation.
249 * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility
250 with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
251 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
252 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
254 * Typo. Closes: #571968
255 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
256 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
257 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
258 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
259 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
260 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
261 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077
262 * dh_md5sums: Sort to ensure stable, more diffable order. Closes: #573702

296 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.

298 options that they do not support.
299 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
300 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
301 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773

382 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
383 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
384 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
385 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
386 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
387 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
388 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
389 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.

627 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
628 contributed by Modestas Vainius
629 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
630 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
631 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
632 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
633 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
634 that support it. Closes: #480577
635 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
636 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
637 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
639 - Adds support for cmake.
640 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
641 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
643 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
645 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
646 that use them. The options are:
647 --sourcedir, --destdir
648 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
649 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
650 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
651 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
652 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

720 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
721 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

1630 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1631 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2007 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatibility
2008 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
2009 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
2010 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
2011 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2013 level and changes from earlier levels are concentrated in the

3334 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3335 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3336 dh_install, which ...
3337 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3338 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3339 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3340 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3341 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3342 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3343 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3344 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3345 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3346 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3347 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3348 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3349 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3350 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3351 other minor changes.
3352 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3353 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3354 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3355 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3356 course there's -X ..)
3357 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3358 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.

3361 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3362 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.

3412 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3413 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3440 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3442 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3443 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3444 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3445 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3446 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3447 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3448 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3449 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3450 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3451 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3452 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3453 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3454 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3455 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3456 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3457 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3459 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3494 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3495 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3496 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3497 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3498 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3499 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3500 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3501 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3502 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497
3503 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message
3504 is now output when it runs. Currently used by: 381 packages.

3678 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3679 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3680 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3681 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3682 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3683 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3684 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3685 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3686 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3687 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3688 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3690 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3710 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3711 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3712 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3713 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3714 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3715 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3716 program those options go to. So, for example,
3717 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3718 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3719 something complex. Closes: #89311

3729 undocumented interface. Closes: #95387

3860 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3861 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3862 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3863 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3864 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3865 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3866 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3920 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3922 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3923 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3924 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3925 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3926 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3927 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3928 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3929 but is mildly deprecated.
3930 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3931 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3932 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3933 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3934 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3935 switching to statoverrides..
3936 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3937 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3938 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3939 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3940 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3941 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3943 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3944 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3945 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3946 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3947 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3948 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3949 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3950 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3951 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3953 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3954 variable names, pod man pages).
3955 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3956 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3957 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3958 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3959 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3960 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3961 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4030 * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead,
4031 packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in
4032 the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done
4033 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4034 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
4035 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
4036 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man
4037 page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build.
4038 If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
4039 it is an obsolete program.

4124 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
4125 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility:
4126 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
4127 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4128 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4129 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4130 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4132 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4133 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4134 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4136 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4138 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4139 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4140 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4141 should now be raised to severity important..
4142 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4143 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4183 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
4184 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4185 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
4186 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

4377 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4378 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4379 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4380 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4381 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4382 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4383 notice until v2 is complete.
4384 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4385 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4386 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4387 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4388 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4389 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4391 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

4510 * Patch from Jorgen `forcer' Schaefer <forcer at mindless.com> (much
4511 modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
4512 update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
4513 * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
4514 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
4515 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4516 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4518 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
4519 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
4520 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4521 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4522 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
4523 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)
4524 * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

4605 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4606 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4607 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4608 bits until all files have been registered.

4618 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4619 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4620 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

4622 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4623 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4624 otherwise change the result at all.
4626 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4627 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4746 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4747 I made some changes, though:
4748 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4749 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4750 that is a clear violation of policy.
4751 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4752 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4753 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4754 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4755 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4756 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4757 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4758 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4759 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4761 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4805 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4806 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4807 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4929 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4930 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4931 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4932 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4933 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4934 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4935 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4936 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5002 debhelper (2.0.22) unstable; urgency=low
5004 * Checked all of debhelper into CVS.
5005 * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
5006 * Skip CVS dir when running tests.
5007 * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
5008 Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
5009 missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
5010 it's always available.

5016 * Wow. It turns out dh_installdocs has been doing it wrong and doc-base
5017 files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from
5018 Peter Moulder <reiter@netspace.net.au> to make it use those id's instead
5019 of coming up with it's own. (Closes: #42650)

5052 * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
5053 not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
5054 say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this

5110 there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or

5180 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except

5212 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.

5257 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
5258 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
5259 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

5274 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
5275 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5323 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.

5672 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
5673 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
5674 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5675 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

5678 suidregister actually supports it.

5696 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5697 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).

5887 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5888 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5889 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

6001 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
6002 remove debian/files properly.
6003 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.
6004 * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion
6005 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.
6006 * Removed bogus menu file.

6020 * Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in the escaping code, numbers don't need to be
6021 escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
6022 * dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
6023 * dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
6024 --update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
6025 really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.

6053 * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
6054 metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the
6055 characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway.
6056 * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously
6057 nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)

6066 * dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
6067 * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
6068 * Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
6069 * Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
6070 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6071 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6072 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6073 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6074 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
6075 * Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
6076 passed any switches.
6077 * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.

6085 at all for a long while.
6086 * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
6087 * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
6088 large chunks in the process.
6089 * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can
6090 install many oddly named files it died on before.

6124 updating 27 man pages.
6125 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
6126 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

6257 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6258 past week. Thanks, guys!
6260 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6261 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6262 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6263 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6264 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6265 would do in the same situation.
6266 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6267 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6269 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6271 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6272 permissions changed.
6273 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6274 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6275 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6276 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6277 files are treated identically.
6278 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

6291 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6292 use -X multiple times, too.
6293 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
6294 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6319 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
6320 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

6605 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6606 a given package, or -i or -a.
6607 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6608 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6609 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6610 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

6612 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6614 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6693 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
