4 * update french translation.
5 * Fix french misspelling.
6 * French translation update after massive man page typography
9 * python_distutils: Pass --force to setup.py build, to ensure that when
10 python-dbg is run it does not win and result in scripts having it in
11 the shebang line. Closes: #589759
12 * Man page fixes about what program -u passes params to. Closes: #593342
13 * Avoid open fd 5 or 6 breaking buildsystem test suite. Closes: #596679
14 * Large update to Spanish man page translations by Omar Campagne.
16 * dh_installdeb: Support debian/package.maintscript files,
17 which can contain dpkg-maintscript-helper commands. This can be used
18 to automate moving or removing conffiles, or anything added to
19 dpkg-maintscript-helper later on. Closes: #574443

21 * Massive man page typography patch. Closes: #600883
22 (Thanks, David Prévot)
23 * Explicitly build-depend on a new enough perl-base. Closes: #601188
24 * dh: Inhibit logging when an override target runs the overridden command,
25 to avoid unexpected behavior if the command succeeded but the overall
26 target fails. Closes: #601037

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

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

96 * Drop one more call to dpkg-architecture. Closes: #580837
98 * Further reduce the number of calls to dpkg-architecture to zero,

109 do not involve architecture wildcards. Closes:# 579317

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

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

228 be enabled by using the --max-parallel option. This was necessary because
229 some buildds build with -j2 by default. (See #532805)

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

261 * The makefile buildsystem (and derived buildsystems cmake, autoconf, etc)
262 now supports parallel building by default, as specified via
263 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #532805
264 * dh_auto_*: Add --max-parallel option that can be used to control
265 or disable parallel building. --max-parallel=1 will disable parallel
266 building, while --max-parallel=N will limit the maximum number of
267 parallel processes that can be specified via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
268 * Added some hacks to avoid warnings about unavailable jobservers when
269 debhelper runs make, and the parent debian/rules was run in parallel
270 mode (as dpkg-buildpackage -j currently does).
271 * Thanks, Modestas Vainius for much of the work on parallel build support.
272 * Add deprecation warnings for -u to the documentation, since putting
273 options after -- is much more sane. (However, -u will not go away any
274 time soon.) Closes: #554509
275 * Separate deprecated programs in the list of commands in debhelper(7).

280 document id. Closes: #555677

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

320 (It was only run once due to logging.)
321 * dh_installdocs: Add --link-doc option that can be used to link
322 documentation directories. This is easier to use and more flexible
323 than the old method of running dh_link first to make a broken symlink.
324 Closes: #545676 Thanks, Colin Watson
325 * Reorder dh_pysupport call in dh sequence to come before
326 dh_installinit, so the generated postinst script registers
327 python modules before trying to use them. Closes: #546293

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

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

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

1022 * dh: New program that runs a series of debhelper commands in a sequence.
1023 This can be used to construct very short rules files (as short as 3
1024 lines), while still exposing the full power of debhelper when it's
1026 * dh_auto_configure: New program, automates running ./configure,
1027 Makefile.PL, and python distutils. Calls them with exactly the same
1028 options as cdbs does by default, and allows adding/overriding options.
1029 * dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
1030 running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
1031 planned but not yet implemented.)
1032 * dh_auto_test: New program, automates running make test or make check
1033 if the Makefile has such a target.
1034 * dh_auto_clean: New program, automates running make clean (or distclean,
1035 or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.
1036 * dh_auto_install: New program, automates running make install, or using
1037 setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
1038 MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned
1039 but not yet implemented.)

1041 recommended default, especially when using dh.
1042 * dh_install: In v7 mode, if --sourcedir is not specified, first look for
1043 files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This

1499 * Update of dh_python
1500 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
1501 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
1502 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
1503 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
1504 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
1505 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
1506 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
1507 specific python version. Closes: #373853
1508 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
1509 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
1511 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
1512 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
1513 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
1514 the not too-distant future).
1515 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
1516 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
1517 * Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
1518 dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
1519 thus made the build fail.

3215 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
3216 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
3217 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
3218 dh_install, which ...
3219 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
3220 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
3221 mess, as it uses debian/install.
3222 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
3223 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
3224 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
3225 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
3226 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
3227 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
3228 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
3229 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
3230 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
3231 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
3232 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
3233 other minor changes.
3234 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
3235 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
3236 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
3237 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
3238 course there's -X ..)
3239 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
3240 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
3241 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
3243 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
3244 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
3245 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
3246 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
3247 for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are

3291 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
3292 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
3293 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
3294 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
3295 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

3322 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
3324 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
3325 what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big
3326 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
3327 line, as well as in debian/rules.
3328 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
3329 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
3330 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
3331 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
3332 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
3333 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
3334 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
3335 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
3336 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
3337 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
3338 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
3339 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
3341 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

3358 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
3359 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
3360 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
3361 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
3362 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

3376 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
3377 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
3378 compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
3379 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
3380 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
3381 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
3382 compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
3383 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
3384 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

3560 * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
3561 data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
3562 (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
3563 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
3564 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
3565 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3566 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3567 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3568 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3569 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3570 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3572 prefixed with ".debhelper")

3593 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3594 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3595 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3596 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3597 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3598 program those options go to. So, for example,
3599 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3600 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

3742 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3743 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3744 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3745 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3746 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3747 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

3802 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3804 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3805 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3806 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3807 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3808 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

3810 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility,
3811 but is mildly deprecated.
3812 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3813 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3814 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3815 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3816 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3817 switching to statoverrides..
3818 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3819 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3820 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3821 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3822 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3823 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3825 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3826 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3827 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3828 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3829 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3830 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3831 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3832 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3833 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3835 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3836 variable names, pod man pages).
3837 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3838 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3839 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3840 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3841 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3842 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3843 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3916 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3997 after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
3998 itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
3999 minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of

4006 * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
4007 turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility:
4008 - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
4009 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you
4010 use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many
4011 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
4012 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
4014 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
4015 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
4016 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
4018 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
4020 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
4021 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
4022 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
4023 should now be raised to severity important..
4024 * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
4025 deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

4065 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
4066 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
4067 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
4068 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

4084 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to

4259 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
4260 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. That
4261 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
4262 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
4263 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
4264 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
4265 notice until v2 is complete.
4266 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
4267 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
4268 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
4269 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
4270 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
4271 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
4273 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
4274 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
4275 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.

4488 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,

4500 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
4501 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
4502 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
4503 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
4504 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
4505 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
4506 otherwise change the result at all.
4508 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
4509 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
4510 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
4511 dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..
4512 * This changelog was automatically generated from CVS commit information.

4525 * dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
4526 act on files that don't exist.
4527 * dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
4528 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
4529 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
4531 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
4532 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
4533 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
4534 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

4559 * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses
4560 perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things
4562 * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete.
4563 * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper,
4564 you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line.

4570 * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that
4571 LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This
4572 should make it easier for library packages that also build binary
4573 packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751
4574 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative
4575 image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress
4576 does not compress. Closes: #41733
4577 * Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case

4627 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
4628 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4629 I made some changes, though:
4630 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4631 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4632 that is a clear violation of policy.
4633 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4634 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4635 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4636 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4637 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4638 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4639 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4640 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4641 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4643 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4662 * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,

4684 * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
4685 you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
4686 run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
4687 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
4688 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
4689 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
4690 target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
4691 maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313

4806 * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net>.
4807 For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
4808 dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
4809 * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
4810 * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
4811 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4812 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
4813 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4814 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4815 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4816 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4817 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
4818 modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.

4824 * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
4825 a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
4826 DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
4828 * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
4829 * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
4830 * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
4831 works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
4832 building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
4833 targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
4835 * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
4836 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.

5556 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
5557 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

5560 suidregister actually supports it.

5769 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new

5771 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager

6008 appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.

6137 * I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
6138 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
6139 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
6140 past week. Thanks, guys!
6142 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
6143 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
6144 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
6145 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
6146 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
6147 would do in the same situation.
6148 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
6149 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
6151 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
6153 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
6154 permissions changed.
6155 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
6156 some people enjoy changing root's name.
6157 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
6158 for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
6159 files are treated identically.
6160 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.
6161 * Minor man page fixes.
6162 * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/<package> is empty. (#23054)

6173 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
6174 use -X multiple times, too.

6490 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
6491 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
6492 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
6493 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
6494 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
6495 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
6496 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

6574 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6575 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6576 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6577 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,

6748 it is installed as TODO.Debian.

6750 debian/README.debian.
6751 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6752 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6753 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6754 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6755 in a few situations.)

6805 the package build directory it is to act on.
6806 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6807 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
