1 debhelper (8.1.0) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
4 * update french translation.
5 * Fix french misspelling
8 * python_distutils: Pass --force to setup.py build, to ensure that when
9 python-dbg is run it does not win and result in scripts having it in
10 the shebang line. Closes: #589759
11 * Man page fixes about what program -u passes params to. Closes: #593342

34 debhelper (7.9.2) unstable; urgency=low
36 * In v8 mode, stop passing packlist=0 in perl_makemaker buildsystem,
37 since perl_build is tried first. Avoids the makemaker warning message
38 introduced by the fix to #527990.

42 debhelper (7.9.1) unstable; urgency=low
44 * Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
45 changes are planned for that mode.
46 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
47 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
48 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
49 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
50 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
51 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
52 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
53 (genesis) still uses them.
54 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
55 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
56 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
57 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
58 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
59 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
60 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
61 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
62 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
63 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
64 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
65 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
66 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
67 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
68 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
69 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
70 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
71 commands. (See #570039)
72 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
74 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

81 * Drop one more call to dpkg-architecture. Closes: #580837
83 * Further reduce the number of calls to dpkg-architecture to zero,
84 in a typical package with no explicit architecture mentions
85 in control file or debhelper config files.

93 dpkg-architecture at all for simple comparisons that clearly
94 do not involve architecture wildcards. Closes:# 579317

113 debhelper (7.4.16) unstable; urgency=low
115 * Updated French translation.
116 * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility
117 with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
118 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
119 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
121 * Typo. Closes: #571968
122 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
123 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
124 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
125 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
126 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
127 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change
128 is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077
129 * dh_md5sums: Sort to ensure stable, more diffable order. Closes: #573702
130 * dh: Allow --list-addons to be used when not in a source package.

161 * makefile: Support the (asking for trouble) case of MAKE being set to
162 something with a space in it. Closes: #563557
163 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
164 * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
165 options that they do not support.
166 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
167 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
168 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773
169 (It also ensures that the commands dh prints out can really be run.)

212 * Parallel building support is no longer enabled by default. It can still
213 be enabled by using the --max-parallel option. This was necessary because
214 some buildds build with -j2 by default. (See #532805)

223 * make: Avoid infinite make recursion that occurrs when testing existence
224 of a target in a certian horribly broken makefile, by making the test stop

244 debhelper (7.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
246 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
247 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
248 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
249 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
250 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
251 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
252 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
253 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
254 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
255 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
256 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
257 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
258 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
259 time soon.) Closes: #554509
260 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).
262 * Adjust code to add deprecation warning for compatibility level 4.

265 document id. Closes: #555677

267 * cmake: Set CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE when running test suite.
268 Closes: #555807 (Modestas Vainius)
269 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
270 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.
272 * Improve build system autoselection process; this allows cmake to be
273 autoselected for steps after configure, instead of falling back to
274 makefile once cmake generated a makefile. Closes: #555805

305 (It was only run once due to logging.)
306 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
307 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
308 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
309 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
310 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
311 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
312 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293
313 * dh_installudev: With --name, install debian/<package>.<name>.udev
314 to rules.d/<priority>-<name>, the same as debian/<name>.udev

331 debhelper (7.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
333 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
334 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
335 flag with arch all/any packages.
336 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
337 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
338 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
339 situation. Closes: #540794

494 * Modular object oriented dh_auto_* buildsystem support,
495 contributed by Modestas Vainius
496 - dh_auto_* --sourcedirectory can now be used to specify a source
497 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
498 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
499 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
500 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
501 that support it. Closes: #480577
502 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
503 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
504 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
506 - Adds support for cmake.
507 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
508 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
510 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
512 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
513 that use them. The options are:
514 --sourcedir, --destdir

3053 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
3054 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
3055 abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.

3200 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3201 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3202 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3203 dh_install, which ...
3204 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3205 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3206 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3207 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3208 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3209 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3210 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3211 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3212 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3213 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3214 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3215 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3216 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3217 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3218 other minor changes.
3219 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3220 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3221 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3222 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3223 course there's -X ..)
3224 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3225 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3226 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3228 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3229 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3230 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3231 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3232 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3276 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3277 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3278 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3279 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3280 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3307 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3309 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3310 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3311 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3312 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3313 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3314 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3315 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3316 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3317 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3318 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3319 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3320 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3321 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3322 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3323 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3324 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3326 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3343 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3344 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3345 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3346 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3347 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3348 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3361 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3362 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3363 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3364 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3365 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3366 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3367 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3368 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3369 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3545 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3546 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3547 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3548 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3549 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3550 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3551 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3552 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3553 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3554 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3555 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
3556 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
3557 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3578 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3579 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3580 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3581 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3582 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3583 program those options go to. So, for example,
3584 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3585 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3727 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3728 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3729 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3730 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3731 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3732 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3787 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3789 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3790 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3791 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3792 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3793 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3794 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3795 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3796 but is mildly deprecated.
3797 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3798 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3799 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3800 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3801 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3802 switching to statoverrides..
3803 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3804 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3805 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3806 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3807 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3808 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3810 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3811 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3812 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3813 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3814 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3815 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3816 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3817 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3818 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3820 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3821 variable names, pod man pages).
3822 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3823 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3824 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3825 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3826 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3827 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3828 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3984 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
3985 backwards-compatibility.

3989 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
3991 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3992 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility:
3993 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
3994 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
3995 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
3996 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3997 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3999 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4000 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4001 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4003 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4005 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4006 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4007 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4008 should now be raised to severity important..
4009 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4010 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4050 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
4051 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4052 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
4053 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

4066 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
4067 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
4068 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
4069 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

4244 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4245 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4246 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4247 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4248 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4249 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4250 notice until v2 is complete.
4251 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4252 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4253 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4254 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4255 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4256 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4258 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4259 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4260 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4472 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4473 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4474 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4475 bits until all files have been registered.

4510 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
4511 act on files that don't exist.
4512 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
4513 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4514 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4516 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4517 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4518 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4519 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4613 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4614 I made some changes, though:
4615 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4616 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4617 that is a clear violation of policy.
4618 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4619 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4620 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4621 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4622 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4623 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4624 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4625 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4626 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4628 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4671 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4672 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4673 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4674 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

4796 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4797 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4798 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4799 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4800 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4801 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4802 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4803 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4813 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.

4818 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper

5013 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
5014 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base

5141 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
5142 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5512 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

5539 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
5540 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
5541 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5542 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

5545 suidregister actually supports it.
5546 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various

5563 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5564 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).

5754 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5755 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5756 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5757 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

6122 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
6123 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
6124 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6125 past week. Thanks, guys!
6127 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6128 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6129 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6130 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6131 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6132 would do in the same situation.
6133 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6134 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6136 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6138 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6139 permissions changed.
6140 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6141 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6142 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6143 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6144 files are treated identically.
6145 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
6146 * Minor man page fixes.
6147 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

6158 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6159 use -X multiple times, too.

6492 * dh_du: Fixed hardcoded debian/tmp.
6493 * This change got lost by accident, redid it: Optimized out most of the
6494 slowdown caused by using dpkg-parsechangelog - now it's only called by

6501 * dh_undocumented: exit with an error message if the man page specified
6502 does not have a section.

6506 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low
6508 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
6509 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
6510 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)
6511 * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz.

6523 * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that.
6524 Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp.
6525 * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands
6526 to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863
6527 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789
6528 * examples/*: use dh_clean -k in the binary targets of all rules files,

6535 * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps,
6536 and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated.
6537 * Added an examples/rules.indep file.
6538 * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep

6557 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6558 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6559 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6560 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6561 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6562 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6563 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6582 * dh_installdirs: Do not create usr/doc/$PACKAGE directory. Bug #15498
6583 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
6584 the dh_* programs (#15497).
6585 * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

6612 README.Debian is installed with the same name..)

6635 debhelper (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
6637 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
6638 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6639 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6640 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6641 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6642 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6648 * Added dh_installdirs, automatically creates subdirectories (for
6649 compatibility with debstd's debian/dirs file.

6693 * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
6694 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
6695 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
6696 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
6697 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

6701 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6703 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6704 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6705 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6706 multiple binary packages.
6707 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6708 should rebuild them with this version.
6709 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6727 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6729 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6730 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6731 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6732 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6733 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6734 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6735 debian/README.debian.
6736 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6737 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6738 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6739 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6740 in a few situations.)

6766 dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.

6771 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6773 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6774 is ready for general use.
6775 * Added man pages for all commands.
6776 * Multiple binary package support.
6777 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6778 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6779 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6781 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6782 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6783 auto-installed as parameters.
6784 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6786 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6789 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6790 the package build directory it is to act on.
6791 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6792 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6793 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
