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
12 * Avoid open fd 5 or 6 breaking buildsystem test suite. Closes: #596679
13 * Large update to Spanish man page translations by Omar Campagne.
15 * dh_installdeb: Support debian/package.maintscript files,
16 which can contain dpkg-maintscript-helper commands. This can be used
17 to automate moving or removing conffiles, or anything added to
18 dpkg-maintscript-helper later on. Closes: #574443

41 debhelper (7.9.2) unstable; urgency=low
43 * In v8 mode, stop passing packlist=0 in perl_makemaker buildsystem,
44 since perl_build is tried first. Avoids the makemaker warning message

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

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

169 something with a space in it. Closes: #563557
170 * Fix warning about unknown options passed to commands in override targets.
171 * Add -O option, which can be used to pass options to commands, ignoring
172 options that they do not support.
173 * dh: Use -O to pass user-specified options to the commands it runs.
174 This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands
175 that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option. Closes: #541773

253 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
254 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
255 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
256 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
257 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
258 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
259 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
260 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
261 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
262 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
263 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
264 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
265 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
266 time soon.) Closes: #554509

276 * autoconf: If configure fails, display config.log. Intended to make
277 it easier to debug configure script failures on autobuilders.

313 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
314 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
315 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
316 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
317 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before

341 is arch all. This was, suprisingly, the only overhead of using the -s
342 flag with arch all/any packages.
343 * The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users
344 do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package

519 * Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands
520 that use them. The options are:

523 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
524 * Make dh not complain about unknown, command-specific options passed to it,
525 and further suppress warnings about such options it passes on to debhelper
526 commands. This was attempted incompletely before in version 7.2.17.

1027 or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.

1501 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1503 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1504 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1505 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1506 the not too-distant future).
1507 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1508 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
1509 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of

3060 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
3061 news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the

3207 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3208 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3209 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3210 dh_install, which ...
3211 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3212 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3213 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3214 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3215 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3216 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3217 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3218 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3219 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3220 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3221 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3222 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3223 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3224 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3225 other minor changes.
3226 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3227 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3228 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3229 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3230 course there's -X ..)
3231 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3232 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3233 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3235 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3236 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3237 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3238 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3239 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3281 debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
3283 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3284 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3285 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3286 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3287 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3314 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3316 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3317 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3318 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3319 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3320 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3321 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3322 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3323 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3324 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3325 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3326 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3327 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3328 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3329 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3330 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3331 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3333 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3347 * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
3349 - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
3350 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3351 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3352 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3353 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3354 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.
3355 - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now.

3368 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3369 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3370 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3371 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3372 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3373 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3374 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3375 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3376 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3550 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
3552 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3553 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3554 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3555 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3556 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3557 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3558 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3559 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3560 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3561 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3562 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
3563 (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
3564 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3582 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
3584 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3585 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3586 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3587 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3588 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3589 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3590 program those options go to. So, for example,
3591 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3592 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3593 something complex. Closes: #89311

3733 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
3734 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3735 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3736 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3737 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3738 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3739 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3740 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

3794 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3796 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3797 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3798 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3799 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3800 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3801 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3802 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3803 but is mildly deprecated.
3804 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3805 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3806 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3807 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3808 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3809 switching to statoverrides..
3810 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3811 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3812 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3813 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3814 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3815 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3817 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3818 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3819 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3820 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3821 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3822 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3823 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3824 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3825 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3827 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3828 variable names, pod man pages).
3829 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3830 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3831 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3832 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3833 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3834 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3835 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3988 * Reverted the change to make debian/README be treated as README.Debian,
3989 after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
3990 itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
3991 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
3992 backwards-compatibility.

3998 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
3999 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility:
4000 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
4001 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4002 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4003 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4004 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4006 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4007 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4008 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4010 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4012 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4013 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4014 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4015 should now be raised to severity important..
4016 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4017 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4056 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
4057 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
4058 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4059 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
4060 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

4073 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
4074 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
4075 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
4076 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

4183 does not call depmod -a. update-modules (which it always called)_
4184 handles calling depmod if doing so is appropriate. Packages built with
4185 proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular

4251 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4252 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4253 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4254 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4255 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4256 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4257 notice until v2 is complete.
4258 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4259 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4260 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4261 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4262 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4263 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4265 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4266 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4267 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4389 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
4390 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
4392 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

4394 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
4395 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring

4479 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
4480 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
4481 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
4482 bits until all files have been registered.

4501 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4502 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
4503 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..
4504 * This changelog was automatically generated from CVS commit information.

4517 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
4518 act on files that don't exist.
4519 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
4520 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4521 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4523 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4524 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4525 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4526 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4551 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
4552 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
4554 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
4555 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
4556 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

4562 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
4563 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
4564 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
4565 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
4566 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
4567 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
4568 does not compress. Closes: #41733
4569 * Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case
4571 * dh_movefiles: force owner and group of installed files to be root.

4618 Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@icp.inpg.fr>, Closes: #47738
4619 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
4620 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4621 I made some changes, though:
4622 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4623 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4624 that is a clear violation of policy.
4625 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4626 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4627 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4628 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4629 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4630 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4631 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4632 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4633 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4635 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4654 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
4655 leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
4656 and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.

4676 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
4677 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4678 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4679 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4680 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4681 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
4682 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
4683 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

4798 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
4799 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4800 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4801 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4802 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4803 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4804 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4805 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4806 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4807 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4808 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4809 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4810 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4816 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4817 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4818 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4820 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4821 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4822 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4823 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4824 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4825 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4827 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4828 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

5020 * Patch from Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr> to make dh_perl support a
5021 -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
5022 package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)

5036 "dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.

5038 supported compatibility level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
5039 there will be a debhelper v3 some day...

5051 * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just
5052 barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-)
5053 * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/<package> will be used for the temporary
5054 build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except
5055 dh_movefiles still uses it.)
5056 * debhelper.1: documented this.
5057 * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the
5058 current compatibility level is equal to that number.
5059 * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that.

5086 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
5087 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
5088 more than 1 init script.

5131 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
5132 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
5133 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

5147 * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
5148 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
5149 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

5193 help from Julian Gilbey.

5195 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
5196 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
5197 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
5198 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
5199 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

5303 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

5305 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

5518 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
5519 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
5520 changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
5521 was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.

5546 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
5547 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
5548 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5549 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.
5550 * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm.
5551 * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until
5552 suidregister actually supports it.
5553 * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various
5554 binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths.

5567 * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other

5570 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and
5571 because it's just 4 lines of code ;-).
5572 * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks.

5574 re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space.

5742 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's

5759 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5760 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5761 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5762 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5763 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5764 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5995 * TODO: list all current bugs, in order I plan to tackle them.
5996 * Added debhelper.1 man page, which groups all the debhelper options that
5997 are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
5998 updating 27 man pages.
5999 * dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
6000 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
6001 * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.
6002 * dh_*: -N option now excludes a package from the list of packages the
6003 programs act on. (#25247)

6011 * This relelase is not really intended for stable. I throw a copy into
6012 stable-updates because I want it to be available as an upgrade for
6013 people using debian 2.0 (the current version in debian 2.0 has no
6014 critical bugs, but this version is of course a lot nicer), and I plan
6015 to start work on a new branch of debhelper that will fix many wishlist
6016 bug reports, and of course introduce many new bugs, and which will go

6129 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
6130 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
6131 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6132 past week. Thanks, guys!
6134 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6135 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6136 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6137 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6138 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6139 would do in the same situation.
6140 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6141 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6143 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6145 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6146 permissions changed.
6147 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6148 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6149 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6150 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6151 files are treated identically.
6152 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
6153 * Minor man page fixes.
6154 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)
6155 * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
6156 --no-act is on. (#23054)

6163 * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
6164 * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
6165 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6166 use -X multiple times, too.
6167 * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the
6168 --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES.

6192 * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
6193 going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
6194 version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.

6196 shape if you're starting a new package.

6225 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> and Adam Heath
6226 <adam.heath@usa.net> for help on the implementation.
6227 * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
6228 rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package

6477 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command

6479 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
6480 a given package, or -i or -a.

6515 * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This
6516 makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so
6517 I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-)

6565 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6566 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6567 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6568 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6569 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6570 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6648 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6649 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6739 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6740 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6741 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6742 debian/README.debian.
6743 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6744 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6745 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6746 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6747 in a few situations.)

6793 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6796 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6797 the package build directory it is to act on.
6798 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6799 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6800 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
