113 when passed bundled options (like "-Nfoo" instead of "-N foo") that
114 it does not understand; and it was not possible to fix that
115 for any compat level before v8. But also, such logs can occur

126 * dh_auto_clean: Inhibit logging, so that, if dh_auto_clean is used
127 in some rule other than clean, perhaps to clean up an intermediate
128 build before a second build is run, debian/rules clean still runs it.
130 * Started work on Debhelper v9. It is still experimental, and more
131 changes may be added to that mode.
132 * Support multiarch in v9. Thanks, Steve Langasek. Closes: #617761
133 * dh_auto_configure: Support multiarch in v9 by passing multiarch
134 directories to --libdir and --libexecdir.
135 * dh_makeshlibs: Detect packages using multiarch directories and
136 make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
137 * Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
138 If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
139 multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.

162 * Improve handling of logging in override targets, so that
163 --remaining-packages can be used again. Now all debhelper commands run
164 in the override target are marked as running as part of the override,
165 and when the whole target is run, the log is updated to indicate that

244 changes are planned for that mode.
245 * dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
246 * dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
247 target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
248 Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
249 * Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
250 * dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
251 * debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
252 (genesis) still uses them.
253 * dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
254 avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". Closes: #583328
255 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a
256 file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749
257 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s)
258 subdirectories. Closes: #521258
259 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper
260 commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.)
261 * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared
262 libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be
263 used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also
264 means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does
265 not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which
266 may break some packages. Closes: #557603
267 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.
268 (Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
269 This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
270 commands. (See #570039)
271 * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.
273 * postrm-init: Avoid calling the error handler if update-rc.d fails.

315 * makefile buildsystem: Chomp output during test for full compatibility
316 with debhelper 7.4.11. Closes: #570503
317 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when
318 not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
320 * Typo. Closes: #571968
321 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default
322 to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed
323 failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the
324 target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior
325 can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only
326 packages that can be built for the current architecture. This change

502 * Man page typo. Closes: #545443
503 * dh: Remove duplicate dh_installcatalogs list. Closes: #545483
504 (It was only run once due to logging.)
505 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
506 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
507 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
508 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
509 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
510 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers

532 * Optimise -s handling to avoid running dpkg-architecture if a package
533 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
534 flag with arch all/any packages.
535 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
536 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package
537 that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that
538 situation. Closes: #540794

696 directory if sources and/or the whole buildsystem lives elsewhere
697 than the top level directory. Closes: #530597
698 - dh_auto_* --builddirectory can now be used to specify a build
699 directory to use for out of source building, for build systems
700 that support it. Closes: #480577
701 - dh_auto_* --buildsystem can now be used to override the autodetected
702 build system, or force use of a third-party class.
703 - dh_auto_* --list can be used to list available and selected build
705 - Adds support for cmake.
706 - For the perl_build build system, Build is used consistently
707 instead of falling back to using the generated Makefile.
709 - Historical dh_auto_* behavior should be preserved despite these
711 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
712 that use them. The options are:
713 --sourcedir, --destdir
714 If any third-party debhelper commands use either of the above options,
715 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
716 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
717 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
718 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

784 maintainer scripts, as that is now triggerized. Adds a dependency
785 via misc:Depends to handle partial upgrades. Note that while
786 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
787 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

1027 * dh: debian/rules override targets can change what is run
1028 for a specific debhelper command in a sequence.
1029 (Thanks Modestas Vainius for the improved makefile parser.)
1030 * dh: Redid all the examples to use override targets, since these
1031 eliminate all annoying boilerplate and are much easier to understand
1032 than the old method.
1033 * Remove rules.simple example, there's little need to use explicit targets
1035 * dh: Support debian/rules calling make with -B,
1036 which is useful to avoid issues with phony implicit
1037 rules (see bug #509756).

1077 * dh_auto_install: Rather than looking at the number of binary packages
1078 being acted on, look at the total number of binary packages in the
1079 source package when deciding whether to install to debian/package or
1080 debian/tmp. This avoids inconsistencies when building mixed arch all+any
1081 packages using the binary-indep and binary-arch targets.

1116 * dh_installinit: Add --restart-after-upgrade, which avoids stopping a
1117 daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
1118 its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded
1119 while they're running, it's not the default. It might become the default

1131 can use to insert them into a command sequence.
1132 (See dh(1), "SEQUENCE ADDONS".)
1133 * dh: --with=foo can be used to include such third-party commands.
1134 So, for example, --with=cli could add the dh_cli* commands from

1172 * Add missing $! to error message when the log can't be opened.
1173 * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
1174 run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
1175 daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
1176 dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
1177 only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
1178 logging by dh_listpackages.

1208 lines), while still exposing the full power of debhelper when it's
1210 * dh_auto_configure: New program, automates running ./configure,
1211 Makefile.PL, and python distutils. Calls them with exactly the same
1212 options as cdbs does by default, and allows adding/overriding options.
1213 * dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
1214 running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
1215 planned but not yet implemented.)

1219 or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.

1221 setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
1222 MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned
1223 but not yet implemented.)
1224 * New v7 mode, which only has three changes from v6, and is the new
1225 recommended default, especially when using dh.
1226 * dh_install: In v7 mode, if --sourcedir is not specified, first look for
1227 files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This

1529 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
1530 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
1532 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
1533 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
1534 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
1535 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
1536 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
1537 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
1538 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.

1540 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..

1550 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
1551 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
1552 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
1553 script and then remove the python files.
1554 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
1555 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
1556 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
1557 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
1558 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
1559 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
1560 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
1561 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
1562 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
1563 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

1684 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1685 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp

1691 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1692 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1693 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1695 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1696 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1697 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2077 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

3399 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3400 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3401 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3402 dh_install, which ...
3403 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3404 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3405 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3406 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3407 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3408 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3409 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3410 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3411 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3412 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3413 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3414 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3415 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3416 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3417 other minor changes.
3418 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3419 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3420 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3421 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3422 course there's -X ..)
3423 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3424 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3425 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3427 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3428 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3429 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3430 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted

3478 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3479 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3506 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3508 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3509 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3510 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3511 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3512 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3513 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3514 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3515 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3516 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3517 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3518 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3519 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3520 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3521 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3522 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3523 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3525 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3560 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3561 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3562 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3563 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3564 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3565 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3566 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3567 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3568 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3752 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3753 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3754 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3780 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3781 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3782 program those options go to. So, for example,
3783 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

3986 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3988 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3989 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3990 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3991 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3992 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3993 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3994 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3995 but is mildly deprecated.
3996 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3997 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3998 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3999 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
4000 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
4001 switching to statoverrides..
4002 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
4003 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
4004 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
4005 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
4006 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
4007 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
4009 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
4010 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
4011 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
4012 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
4013 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
4014 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
4015 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
4016 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
4017 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
4019 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
4020 variable names, pod man pages).
4021 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
4022 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
4023 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
4024 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
4025 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
4026 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
4027 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

4099 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
4100 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
4101 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
4102 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

4199 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4200 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

4443 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4444 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4445 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4446 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4447 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4448 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4449 notice until v2 is complete.
4450 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4451 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4452 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4453 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4454 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4455 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone

4587 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
4588 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3

4671 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4672 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4673 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4674 bits until all files have been registered.

4684 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4685 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4686 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is

4688 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4689 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't

4692 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4693 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed

4812 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4813 I made some changes, though:
4814 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4815 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4816 that is a clear violation of policy.
4817 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4818 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4819 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4820 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4821 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4822 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4823 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4824 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4825 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4827 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4993 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4994 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4995 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4996 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4997 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4998 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4999 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
5000 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
5001 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
5002 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

5008 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
5009 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
5010 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
5012 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
5013 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
5014 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
5015 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
5016 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
5017 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
5019 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
5020 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

5953 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5954 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5955 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5956 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5998 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5999 things you don't want them to.

6060 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
6061 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
6062 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
6063 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
6064 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
6065 I apologize for the inconvenience.

6136 dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
6137 * I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
6138 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
6139 applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
6140 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

6323 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6324 past week. Thanks, guys!
6326 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6327 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6328 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6329 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6330 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6331 would do in the same situation.
6332 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6333 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release

6337 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6338 permissions changed.

6340 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6341 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6342 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6343 files are treated identically.

6671 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6672 a given package, or -i or -a.
6673 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
6674 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6675 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6676 and debhelper's behavior has altered.

6678 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.

6680 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6988 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6989 the package build directory it is to act on.
6990 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6991 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6992 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
