1 This is the TODO for debhelper. As more and more people use debhelper, this
2 list grows - I welcome patches to fix items on it!
6 * All debhelper programs should only accept the options they are documented
7 to accept (rather than accepting all debhelper options). This is mostly a
8 matter of moving command-specific options out of Dh_Getopt and into the
9 individial command's calls to init(). (#112349)
13 * escaping in config files (for whitespace)?
14 * make dh_install use hard links for efficiency
15 * dh_installinit --restart-after-upgrade as default?
16 * #487006: dh_installman with 3-letter codes
20 * DH_COMPAT 1, 2, 3. Can be removed once all packages are seen to be using
21 a newer version. I won't hold my breath. Now with evil warning messages
23 * Also, grep the entire archive for all dh_* command lines,
24 and check to see what other switches are not being used, and maybe remove
25 some of them. I'd also like to deprecate/remove debian/compress files, -X is
27 * dh_suidregister. Once nothing in the archive uses it.
29 * dh_testversion. Remove as soon as nothing uses it.
30 * dh_movefiles. I won't hold my breath.
31 * debconf-mergetemplates support and the debian/template.ll files and the
32 debconf-utils dependency.
34 * dh_installinit --init-script
36 * dh_clean -k (make it warn)
