This allows for a much simplified form of rules file in this situation, where build-arch/indep and binary-arch/indep targets do not need to be manually specified. See man page for examples. Closes: #640965 . Note that if a rules file has say, override_dh_fixperms-arch, but no corresponding override_dh_fixperms-indep, then the unoverridden dh_fixperms will be run on the indep packages. . Note that the old override_dh_command takes precidence over the new overrides, because mixing the two types of overrides would have been too complicated. In particular, it's difficult to ensure an old override target will work if it's sometimes constrained to only acting on half the packages it would normally run on. This would be a source of subtle bugs, so is avoided. * dh: Don't bother running dh_shlibdebs, dh_makeshlibs, or dh_strip in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep. * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.

But also, such logs can occur for other reasons, like interrupted builds during development, and it should be safe to clean them all.

Closes: #583328 * dh_installchangelogs: Support packages placing their changelog in a file with a name like HISTORY. Closes: #582749 * dh_installchangelogs: Also look for changelog files in doc(s) subdirectories. Closes: #521258 * In v8 mode, do not allow directly passing unknown options to debhelper commands. (Unknown options in DH_OPTIONS still only result in warnings.) * In v8 mode, dh_makeshlibs will run dpkg-gensymbols on all shared libraries it generates shlibs files for. This means that -X can be used to exclude libraries from processing by dpkg-gensymbols. It also means that libraries in unusual locations, where dpkg-gensymbols does not itself normally look, will be passed to it, a behavior change which may break some packages. Closes: #557603 * In v8 mode, dh expects the sequence to run is always its first parameter.

Closes: #571968 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only packages that can be built for the current architecture.

Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned but not yet implemented.) * New v7 mode, which only has three changes from v6, and is the new recommended default, especially when using dh. * dh_install: In v7 mode, if --sourcedir is not specified, first look for files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This allows dh_install to interoperate with dh_auto_install without needing any special parameters. * dh_clean: In v7 mode, read debian/clean and delete all files listed therein. * dh_clean: In v7 mode, automatically delete *-stamp files. * Add a Makefile and simplify this package's own rules file using all the new toys. * dh_clean: Don't delete core dumps.

Inherited from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment: dh_install, which ... - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files mess, as it uses debian/install. - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404 - supports -X. Closes: #116902 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above. * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and other minor changes. * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead. * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x.

This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent. * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to me before.. * use v4 for building debhelper itself * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing. (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on.

I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded, which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

Closes: #131322 -- Joey Hess Tue, 29 Jan 2002 18:58:58 -0500 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command line, as well as in debian/rules. * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d. This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy). * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable, ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars. Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi , filtered through a long period of mulling it over. Closes: #76352 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too. -- Joey Hess Sat, 26 Jan 2002 23:30:51 -0500 debhelper (3.4.3) unstable; urgency=low * Improved dh_installxfonts some more: - Better indenting of generated code. - Better ordering of generated code (minor fix). -- Joey Hess Sat, 26 Jan 2002 23:09:59 -0500 debhelper (3.4.2) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line.

Closes: #131053 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay! - Pass only the last component of the directory name to update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now. - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now. -- Joey Hess Tue, 15 Jan 2002 12:17:43 -0500 debhelper (3.4.1) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed programmer's documentation of DOINDEP and DOARCH, Closes: #128546 * Fixed dh_builddeb SYNOPSIS, Closes: #128548 -- Joey Hess Thu, 10 Jan 2002 13:49:37 -0500 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message is now output when it runs. Currently used by: 381 packages. * dh_installxaw is deprecated -- xaw-wrappers in no longer in the distribution. A warning message is now output when it runs.

Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify that file to your own ends in a debian package.

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

Closes: #93747 -- Joey Hess Mon, 7 May 2001 21:23:46 -0400 debhelper (3.0.18) unstable; urgency=low * dh_perl: updates from bod: - Provide minimum version for arch-indep module dependencies (perl-policy 1,18, section 3.4.1). - Always update substvars, even if Perl:Depends is empty. -- Joey Hess Sat, 21 Apr 2001 15:13:15 -0700 debhelper (3.0.17) unstable; urgency=low * dh_shlibdeps: document that -l accepts multiple dirs, and make multiple dirs absolute properly, not just the first. -- Joey Hess Mon, 16 Apr 2001 23:20:30 -0700 debhelper (3.0.16) unstable; urgency=low * Documented -isp, Closes: #93983 -- Joey Hess Sat, 14 Apr 2001 19:16:47 -0700 debhelper (3.0.15) unstable; urgency=low * Typo, Closes: #92407 -- Joey Hess Tue, 3 Apr 2001 12:15:02 -0700 debhelper (3.0.14) unstable; urgency=low * dh_strip: ensure that the file _ends_ with `.a'.

This should work for the variously broken db3, liballeg, and it will fix the problem with console-tools-dev, which contained (arguably broken) absolute symlinks to real files, which were followed. Closes: #85483 -- Joey Hess Wed, 14 Mar 2001 14:55:58 -0800 debhelper (3.0.10) unstable; urgency=medium * Fixed broken -e #SCRIPT# tests in init script start/stop/restart code. Arrgh. All packages built with the old code (that is, all daemon packages built with debhelper 3.0.9!) are broken. Closes: #89472 -- Joey Hess Tue, 13 Mar 2001 06:10:03 -0500 debhelper (3.0.9) unstable; urgency=low * Modified to use dpkg-architecture instead of dpkg --print-architecture. I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for the hurd work. Closes: #88494 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies. Closes: #88464, #77743 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants us to deal with that gracefully. * dh_makeshlibs: now uses objdump, should be more accurate.

The -k flag has been done away with, as the new perl packages don't make packlist files. * Fixed some bugs in the new dh_perl and updated it to my current debhelper coding standards. * Use dh_perl to generate debhelper's own deps. * Version number increase to meet perl policy. -- Joey Hess Tue, 13 Feb 2001 09:07:48 -0800 debhelper (3.0.1) unstable; urgency=low * Build-depends on perl-5.6, since it uses 2 argument pod2man. * Cleanups of debhelper.1 creation process. -- Joey Hess Mon, 12 Feb 2001 16:12:59 -0800 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages. It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time.. Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility, but is mildly deprecated. * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead. * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report? Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at switching to statoverrides.. * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right? * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make instead. * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs. Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.) * dh_undocumented now the same too now. * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/ files. * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case variable names, pod man pages). * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-) * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release touches every file in this package, so be careful out there.. -- Joey Hess Thu, 8 Feb 2001 14:29:58 -0800 debhelper (2.2.21) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed a stupid typo in dh_suidregister, Closes: #85110 -- Joey Hess Tue, 6 Feb 2001 13:29:57 -0800 debhelper (2.2.20) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installinit -r: stop init script in prerm on package removal, Closes: #84974 -- Joey Hess Mon, 5 Feb 2001 10:06:31 -0800 debhelper (2.2.19) unstable; urgency=low * dh_shlibdeps -l can handle relative paths now. Patch from Colin Watson , Closes: #84408 -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Feb 2001 13:35:39 -0800 debhelper (2.2.18) unstable; urgency=medium * Added a suggests to debconf-utils, Closes: #83643 I may chenge this to a dependancy at some point in the future, since one debconf command needs the package to work. -- Joey Hess Tue, 30 Jan 2001 22:39:54 -0800 debhelper (2.2.17) unstable; urgency=medium * dh_installdebconf: marge in templates with a .ll_LL extention, they were previously ignored. -- Joey Hess Mon, 29 Jan 2001 13:05:21 -0800 debhelper (2.2.16) unstable; urgency=medium * Bah, reverted that last change. It isn't useful because dpkg-buildpackage reads the real control file and gets confused. -- Joey Hess Sun, 28 Jan 2001 01:47:46 -0800 debhelper (2.2.15) unstable; urgency=medium * Added the ability to make debhelper read a different file than debian/control as the control file. This is very useful for various and sundry things, all Evil, most involving kernel packages. -- Joey Hess Wed, 24 Jan 2001 17:33:46 -0800 debhelper (2.2.14) unstable; urgency=medium * Corrected globbing issue with dh_movefiles in v3 mode.

Instead, packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50). * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before. If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build. If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that it is an obsolete program. -- Joey Hess Wed, 10 Jan 2001 13:17:50 -0800 debhelper (2.2.11) unstable; urgency=medium * Fixed dh_installwm.

I doubt this will bite anyone (Debian doesn't seem to contain files with "*" or "?" in their names..), but it is guarded by v3 just to be sure.

Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of backwards-compatibility. -- Joey Hess Mon, 27 Nov 2000 12:01:52 -0800 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility: - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154 Patch from Masato Taruishi (modified). If you use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many old rules files have the ordering backwards. - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as conffiles. - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages. Closes: #34628 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with caution.. * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs should now be raised to severity important.. * --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead. -- Joey Hess Sun, 26 Nov 2000 17:51:58 -0800 debhelper (2.1.28) unstable; urgency=low * Ok, fine, I'll make debhelper depend on lynx for the one or two packages that have html changelogs.

This should make it more usable with rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major version of such libraries, so -m must be used. -- Joey Hess Sat, 11 Nov 2000 17:24:58 -0800 debhelper (2.1.22) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed dh_perl to work with perl 5.6, Closes: #76508 -- Joey Hess Tue, 7 Nov 2000 15:56:54 -0800 debhelper (2.1.21) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything. * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatibility. * dh_suidregister will be deprecated soon -- dpkg-statoverride is a much better way. -- Joey Hess Mon, 6 Nov 2000 15:14:49 -0800 debhelper (2.1.20) unstable; urgency=low * dh_suidregister: do not unregister on purge, since it will have already been unregistered then, and a warning will result. -- Joey Hess Sun, 5 Nov 2000 17:02:50 -0800 debhelper (2.1.19) unstable; urgency=low * dh_builddeb: Ok, it is cosmetic, but it annoyed me. -- Joey Hess Sun, 5 Nov 2000 16:20:46 -0800 debhelper (2.1.18) unstable; urgency=low * dh_builddeb: added a --filename option to specify the output filename.

That development stalled after only the most important change was made, although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree. In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without notice until v2 is complete. * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatible changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses debian/ as the temporary directory for *all* packages; debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone switch to v2. * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default. * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used. * Added a few notes for people still using v1. * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1). -- Joey Hess Tue, 18 Jul 2000 15:48:41 -0700 debhelper (2.0.104) unstable; urgency=low * Put dh_installogrotate in the examples, Closes: #66986 -- Joey Hess Mon, 10 Jul 2000 16:16:37 -0700 debhelper (2.0.103) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_installlogrotate.

Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete) * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case. * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also, the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And, dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should start using it. * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads debian/.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-) * Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change. -- Joey Hess Thu, 2 Mar 2000 11:39:56 -0800 debhelper (2.0.88) unstable; urgency=low * Copyright update: files in the examples directory are public domain. -- Joey Hess Mon, 7 Feb 2000 23:16:39 -0800 debhelper (2.0.87) unstable; urgency=low * Documented that lynx is used to convert html changelogs.

It looped, registering the first link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed, leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid bits until all files have been registered. -- Joey Hess Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:26:42 -0800 debhelper (2.0.76) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmanpages: - Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely . Closes: #51268 - Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch. - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it. * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1: - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't otherwise change the result at all. * doc/TODO: - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program. dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now.. * This changelog was automatically generated from CVS commit information.

The dumping is done with lynx. (Closes: #51099) * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to U_PARAMS.

That was easy; it just uses perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things in base. * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete. * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper, you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line. -- Joey Hess Thu, 4 Nov 1999 21:24:37 -0800 debhelper (2.0.69) unstable; urgency=low * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This should make it easier for library packages that also build binary packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress does not compress.

Closes: #46684 I made some changes, though: - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl. - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since that is a clear violation of policy. - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency. - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway. - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some. - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-) - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories as I can. - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g -- Joey Hess Sun, 24 Oct 1999 15:30:53 -0700 debhelper (2.0.61) unstable; urgency=low * Clarified rules.multi2 comment.

Perhaps there will be a debhelper v3 some day... -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:08:14 -0700 debhelper (2.0.01) unstable; urgency=low * Actually include doc/v2 this time round. -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:01:55 -0700 debhelper (2.0.00) unstable; urgency=low * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-) * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/ will be used for the temporary build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except dh_movefiles still uses it.) * debhelper.1: documented this. * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the current compatibility level is equal to that number. * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that. * debhelper itself now builds using DH_COMPAT=2. * dh_debstd forces DH_COMPAT=1, because it needs to stay compatible with debstd after all. -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Jul 1999 13:37:58 -0700 debhelper (1.9.00) unstable; urgency=low * This is a release of debhelper in preparation for debhelper v2. * doc/v2: added, documented status of v2 changes. * README: mention doc/v2 * debhelper.1: docuimented DH_COMPAT * examples/*: added DH_COMAPT=1 to top of rules files -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Jul 1999 13:16:41 -0700 debhelper (1.2.83) unstable; urgency=medium * dh_perl: fixed substvars typo. Urgency medium since a lot of people will be using this script RSN. -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Jul 1999 11:44:05 -0700 debhelper (1.2.82) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter. This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install more than 1 init script. -- Joey Hess Fri, 25 Jun 1999 11:38:05 -0700 debhelper (1.2.81) unstable; urgency=low * dh_link: fixed bug #40159 and added a regression test for it. It was failing if it was given absolute filenames. -- Joey Hess Fri, 25 Jun 1999 10:12:44 -0700 debhelper (1.2.80) unstable; urgency=low * Changed perl version detection. * Changed call to find. -- Joey Hess Thu, 24 Jun 1999 16:48:53 -0700 debhelper (1.2.79) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_perl by Raphael Hertzog . dh_perl handles finding dependancies of perl scripts, plus deleting those annoying .packlist files. * I don't think dh_perl is going to be useful until the new version of perl comes out. -- Joey Hess Thu, 24 Jun 1999 14:47:55 -0700 debhelper (1.2.78) unstable; urgency=low * Really include dh_installpam. -- Joey Hess Tue, 15 Jun 1999 09:00:36 -0700 debhelper (1.2.77) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installpam: new program by Sean * Wrote man page for same. -- Joey Hess Fri, 11 Jun 1999 13:08:04 -0700 debhelper (1.2.76) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail. (Closes: #38911) -- Joey Hess Mon, 7 Jun 1999 20:20:01 -0700 debhelper (1.2.75) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installemacsen: fixed perms of install, remove scripts. (closes: #39082) -- Joey Hess Mon, 7 Jun 1999 14:42:12 -0700 debhelper (1.2.74) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them. This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673) * The previous fix to dh_installemacsen was actually quite necessary - the x bit was being set! -- Joey Hess Thu, 3 Jun 1999 15:14:27 -0700 debhelper (1.2.73) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installemacsen: make sure files are installed mode 0644. Not strictly necessary since dh_fixperms fixes them if you have a wacky umask, but oh well. (Closes: 38900) -- Joey Hess Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:50:42 -0700 debhelper (1.2.72) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installemacsen: use debian/package.emacsen-startup, not debian/package.emacsen-init. The former has always been documented to work on the man page (closes: #38898). -- Joey Hess Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:16:57 -0700 debhelper (1.2.71) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed a typo (closes: #38881) -- Joey Hess Thu, 3 Jun 1999 13:23:23 -0700 debhelper (1.2.70) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmanpages: Properly quoted metacharacters in $dir in regexp. (#38263). -- Joey Hess Tue, 25 May 1999 14:12:30 -0700 debhelper (1.2.69) unstable; urgency=low * Don't include Test.pm in the binary package. -- Joey Hess Sun, 23 May 1999 19:29:27 -0700 debhelper (1.2.68) unstable; urgency=low * doc/README: updated example of using #DEBHELPER# in a perl script, with help from Julian Gilbey. * dh_link: generate absolute symlinks where appropriate. The links generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774) * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests. * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl. * dh_installchangelogs: force all installed files to be owned by root (#37655). -- Joey Hess Sun, 16 May 1999 17:18:44 -0700 debhelper (1.2.67) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmodules: fixed type that made the program not work. -- Joey Hess Wed, 12 May 1999 00:25:05 -0700 debhelper (1.2.66) unstable; urgency=low * examples/rules.multi: dh_shlibdeps must be run before dh_gencontrol (#37346) -- Joey Hess Sun, 9 May 1999 14:03:05 -0700 debhelper (1.2.65) unstable; urgency=low * Added to docs. -- Joey Hess Thu, 6 May 1999 21:46:03 -0700 debhelper (1.2.64) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmime: new command (#37093, #32684). -- Joey Hess Mon, 3 May 1999 13:37:34 -0700 debhelper (1.2.63) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installxaw: updated to work with xaw-wrappers 0.90 and above. It actually has to partially parse the xaw-wrappers config files now. -- Joey Hess Sun, 2 May 1999 19:13:34 -0700 debhelper (1.2.62) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installemacsen: added support for site-start files. Added --flavor and --number to control details of installation. (#36832) -- Joey Hess Sun, 2 May 1999 15:31:58 -0700 debhelper (1.2.61) unstable; urgency=low * dh_md5sums.1: dh_md5sums is not deprecated, AFAIK, but the manpage has somehow been modified to say it was at version 1.2.45. -- Joey Hess Mon, 26 Apr 1999 19:54:04 -0700 debhelper (1.2.60) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installexamples.1: recycled docs fix. -- Joey Hess Mon, 26 Apr 1999 17:19:07 -0700 debhelper (1.2.59) unstable; urgency=low * dh_builddeb: added --destdir option, which lets you tell it where to put the generated .deb's. Default is .. of course. -- Joey Hess Thu, 22 Apr 1999 22:02:01 -0700 debhelper (1.2.58) unstable; urgency=low * autoscripts/postinst-suid: use /#FILE# in elif test (#36297). -- Joey Hess Sun, 18 Apr 1999 22:33:52 -0700 debhelper (1.2.57) unstable; urgency=low * examples/*: killed trailing spaces after diff: target -- Joey Hess Mon, 12 Apr 1999 22:02:32 -0700 debhelper (1.2.56) unstable; urgency=low * dh_suidregister: make the chown/chmod only happen if the file actually exists. This is useful if you have conffiles that have permissions and may be deleted. (#35845) -- Joey Hess Sat, 10 Apr 1999 13:35:23 -0700 debhelper (1.2.55) unstable; urgency=low * Various man page enhancements. * dh_md5sums: supports -X to make it skip including files in the md5sums (#35819). -- Joey Hess Fri, 9 Apr 1999 18:21:58 -0700 debhelper (1.2.54) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installinit.1: man page fixups (#34160). * *.1: the date of each man page is now automatically updated when debhelper is built to be the last modification time of the man page. -- Joey Hess Thu, 8 Apr 1999 20:28:00 -0700 debhelper (1.2.53) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail. Probably fixes #35677. Actually, it now skips files with a whole range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and "-gz". * dh_compress.1: updated docs to reflect this, and to give the new suggested starting point if you want to write your own debian/compress file. -- Joey Hess Wed, 7 Apr 1999 02:20:14 -0700 debhelper (1.2.52) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmodules: new program, closes #32546. -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Apr 1999 17:25:37 -0800 debhelper (1.2.51) unstable; urgency=low * Another very minor typo fix. -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Apr 1999 14:04:02 -0800 debhelper (1.2.50) unstable; urgency=low * Very minor typo fix. -- Joey Hess Fri, 26 Mar 1999 17:27:01 -0800 debhelper (1.2.49) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of even symlinks. This could have even caused it to follow the symlinks and modify files on the build system in some cases. Ignores them now. (#35102) -- Joey Hess Wed, 24 Mar 1999 13:21:49 -0800 debhelper (1.2.48) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms.1: improved documentation. (#34968) -- Joey Hess Tue, 23 Mar 1999 19:11:01 -0800 debhelper (1.2.47) unstable; urgency=low * doc/README: updated the example of including debhelper shell script fragments inside a perl program -- the old method didn't work with shell variables properly (#34850). -- Joey Hess Sun, 21 Mar 1999 13:25:33 -0800 debhelper (1.2.46) unstable; urgency=low * doc/README: pointer to maint-guide. -- Joey Hess Thu, 18 Mar 1999 21:04:57 -0800 debhelper (1.2.45) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installwm.1: fixed two errors (#34534, #34535) * debhelper.1: list all other debhelper commands with synopses (automatically generated by build process). -- Joey Hess Sun, 14 Mar 1999 11:33:39 -0800 debhelper (1.2.44) unstable; urgency=medium * dh_fixperms: has been mostly broken when used with -X, corrected this. -- Joey Hess Sat, 13 Mar 1999 17:25:59 -0800 debhelper (1.2.43) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress.1: man page fixes (Closes: #33858). * dh_compress: now it can handle compressing arbitrary numbers of files, spawning gzip multiple times like xargs does, if necessary. (Closes: #33860) * Dh_Lib.pm: added xargs() command. -- Joey Hess Tue, 9 Mar 1999 14:57:09 -0800 debhelper (1.2.42) unstable; urgency=low * dh_m5sums: don't generate bogus md5sums file if the package contains no files. Yes, someone found a legitimate reason to do that. -- Joey Hess Thu, 25 Feb 1999 00:03:47 -0800 debhelper (1.2.41) unstable; urgency=low * README: minor typo fix. -- Joey Hess Sat, 20 Feb 1999 23:30:00 -0800 debhelper (1.2.40) unstable; urgency=low * Let's just say 1.2.39 is not a good version of debhelper to use and leave it at that. :-) -- Joey Hess Sat, 20 Feb 1999 22:55:27 -0800 debhelper (1.2.39) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installcron: install files in cron.d with correct perms. -- Joey Hess Sat, 20 Feb 1999 22:28:38 -0800 debhelper (1.2.38) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: don't try to delete directories named "core". -- Joey Hess Sat, 20 Feb 1999 19:13:40 -0800 debhelper (1.2.37) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs: Patch from Jim Pick , fixes regexp error (Closes: #33431). * dh_installxaw: new program by Daniel Martin , handles xaw-wrappers integration. * dh_installxaw.1: wrote man page. -- Joey Hess Thu, 18 Feb 1999 17:32:53 -0800 debhelper (1.2.36) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress.1: Fixed typo in man page. (Closes: #33364) * autoscripts/postinst-menu-method: fixed typo. (Closes: #33376) -- Joey Hess Sun, 14 Feb 1999 13:45:18 -0800 debhelper (1.2.35) unstable; urgency=low * Dh_Lib.pm filearray(): Deal with multiple spaces and spaces at the beginning of lines in files. (closes: #33161) -- Joey Hess Tue, 9 Feb 1999 21:01:07 -0800 debhelper (1.2.34) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: added -d flag (also --dirs-only) that will make it clean only tmp dirs. (closes: #30807) * dh_installdocs: to support packages that need multiple doc-base files, will now look for debian/.doc-base.. * dh_compress: removed warning message (harmless). -- Joey Hess Sat, 6 Feb 1999 17:48:33 -0800 debhelper (1.2.33) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: verbose_print() cd's. * dh_compress: clear the hash of hard links when we loop - was making dh_compress fail on multi-binary packages that had harlinks. Thanks to Craig Small for spotting this. -- Joey Hess Thu, 4 Feb 1999 20:19:37 -0800 debhelper (1.2.32) unstable; urgency=low * dh_suidmanager: if it cannot determine the user name or group name from the uid or gid, it will pass the uid or gid to suidmanager. This should probably never happen, but it's good to be safe. -- Joey Hess Thu, 4 Feb 1999 16:00:35 -0800 debhelper (1.2.31) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installinit.1: minor typo fix (closes: #32753) -- Joey Hess Tue, 2 Feb 1999 14:32:46 -0800 debhelper (1.2.30) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: cut down the number of chmod commands that are executed from 3 to 1, no change in functionality. -- Joey Hess Mon, 1 Feb 1999 17:05:29 -0800 debhelper (1.2.29) unstable; urgency=high * Do not include bogus chsh, chfn, passwd links in debhelper binary! These were acidentially left in after dh_link testing I did as I was working on the last version of debhelper. -- Joey Hess Mon, 25 Jan 1999 20:26:46 -0800 debhelper (1.2.28) unstable; urgency=low * dh_link: fixed bug that prevent multiple links to the same source from being made. (#23255) -- Joey Hess Sun, 24 Jan 1999 19:46:33 -0800 debhelper (1.2.27) unstable; urgency=low * autoscripts/*menu*: "test", not "text"! -- Joey Hess Tue, 19 Jan 1999 15:18:52 -0800 debhelper (1.2.26) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs: use prerm-doc-base script fragement. Was using postrm-doc-base, for some weird reason. -- Joey Hess Mon, 18 Jan 1999 13:36:40 -0800 debhelper (1.2.25) unstable; urgency=low * autoscripts/*menu*: It turns out that "command" is like test -w, it will still return true if update-menus is not executable. This can legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages built with debhelper >= 1.2.21 that use menus should be rebuilt. -- Joey Hess Sat, 16 Jan 1999 13:47:16 -0800 debhelper (1.2.24) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files. Since this no longer happens implicitly, I've changed to clearing the bits explicitly. * There's also a small behavior change involved here. Before, dh_fixperms did not clear suid permissions on files that were already owned by root. Now it does. * dh_fixperms.1: cleaned up the docs to mention that those bits are cleared. -- Joey Hess Fri, 15 Jan 1999 16:54:44 -0800 debhelper (1.2.23) unstable; urgency=low * autoscripts/postrm-wm: use "=", not "==" (#31727). -- Joey Hess Mon, 11 Jan 1999 13:35:00 -0800 debhelper (1.2.22) unstable; urgency=low * Reversed change in last version; don't clobber mode (#31628). -- Joey Hess Fri, 8 Jan 1999 15:01:25 -0800 debhelper (1.2.21) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/.doc-base exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this, you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper. * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm. * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until suidregister actually supports it. * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths. -- Joey Hess Wed, 30 Dec 1998 22:50:04 -0500 debhelper (1.2.20) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: handle the hard link stuff properly, it was broken. Also faster now. -- Joey Hess Wed, 23 Dec 1998 19:53:03 -0500 debhelper (1.2.19) unstable; urgency=low * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and because it's just 4 lines of code ;-). * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks. When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space. -- Joey Hess Fri, 18 Dec 1998 22:26:41 -0500 debhelper (1.2.18) unstable; urgency=medium * dh_fixperms: was not fixing permissions of files in usr/doc/ to 644, this has been broken since version 1.2.3. -- Joey Hess Sun, 6 Dec 1998 23:35:35 -0800 debhelper (1.2.17) unstable; urgency=low * dh_makeshlibs: relaxed regexp to find library name and number a little so it will work on libraries with a major but no minor version in their filename (examples of such: libtcl8.0.so.1, libBLT-unoff.so.1) * dh_movefiles: added --sourcedir option to make it move files out of some directory besides debian/tmp (#30221) -- Joey Hess Fri, 4 Dec 1998 13:56:57 -0800 debhelper (1.2.16) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installchangelogs: now detects html changelogs and installs them as changelog.html.gz, to comply with latest policy (which I disagree with BTW). * manpages: updated policy version numbers. * dh_installdocs: behavior change: all docs are now installed mode 644. I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any effect, either. (#30118) -- Joey Hess Thu, 3 Dec 1998 23:31:56 -0800 debhelper (1.2.15) unstable; urgency=low * Just a re-upload, last upload failed for some obscure reason. -- Joey Hess Sun, 29 Nov 1998 13:07:44 -0800 debhelper (1.2.14) unstable; urgency=low * Really fixed #29762 this time. This also fixes #30025, which asked that dh_makeshlibs come before dh_shlibdeps, so the files it generates can also be used as a shlibs.local file, which will be used by dh_shlibdeps. -- Joey Hess Thu, 29 Oct 1998 04:00:14 -0800 debhelper (1.2.13) unstable; urgency=low * Spelling and typo fixes. -- Joey Hess Wed, 25 Nov 1998 15:23:55 -0800 debhelper (1.2.12) unstable; urgency=low * examples/*: moved dh_makeshlibs call to before dh_installdeb call. (#29762). This is just so if you replace dh_makeshlibs with something that generates debian/shlibs, it still gets installed properly. * dh_suidregister: use names instead of uid's and gid's, at request of suidregister maintainer (#29802). -- Joey Hess Sat, 21 Nov 1998 13:13:10 -0800 debhelper (1.2.11) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: if given absolute filenames to move (note that that is *wrong*), it will move relative files anyway. Related to bug #29761. * dh_link: made relative links work right. (I hope!) -- Joey Hess Fri, 20 Nov 1998 20:21:51 -0800 debhelper (1.2.10) unstable; urgency=low * examples/*: added dh_link calls to example rules files. -- Joey Hess Fri, 20 Nov 1998 15:43:07 -0800 debhelper (1.2.9) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_link, which generates policy complient symlinks in binary packages, painlessly. -- Joey Hess Thu, 19 Nov 1998 18:43:36 -0800 debhelper (1.2.8) unstable; urgency=low * Suggest dh-make (#29376). -- Joey Hess Wed, 18 Nov 1998 02:29:47 -0800 debhelper (1.2.7) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: Fixed another bug. -- Joey Hess Mon, 16 Nov 1998 12:53:05 -0800 debhelper (1.2.6) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: fixed non-integer comparison (#29476) -- Joey Hess Sun, 15 Nov 1998 13:03:09 -0800 debhelper (1.2.5) unstable; urgency=low * The perl conversion is complete. . * dh_compress: perlized (yay, perl has readlink, no more ls -l | awk garbage!) * dh_lib, dh_getopt.pl: deleted, nothing uses them anymore. * debian/rules: don't install above 2 files. * doc/PROGRAMMING: removed all documentation of the old shell library interface. -- Joey Hess Fri, 13 Nov 1998 15:36:57 -0800 debhelper (1.2.4) unstable; urgency=low * dh_debstd, dh_movefiles: perlized. * dh_debstd: fixed -c option. * dh_installinit: fixed minor perl -w warning. * Only 1 shell script remains! (But it's a doozy..) -- Joey Hess Fri, 13 Nov 1998 13:29:39 -0800 debhelper (1.2.3) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms, dh_installdebfiles, dh_installdeb: perlized * dh_suidregister: perlized, with help from Che_Fox (and Tom Christianson, indirectly..). * dh_suidregister: include leading 0 (or 1 for sticky, etc) in file permissions. * Only 3 more to go and it'll be 100% perl. * Made $dh{EXCLUDE_FIND} available to perl scripts. -- Joey Hess Tue, 10 Nov 1998 15:47:43 -0800 debhelper (1.2.2) unstable; urgency=low * dh_du, dh_shlibdeps, dh_undocumented: rewrite in perl. * dh_undocumented: shortened the symlink used for section 7 undocumented man pages, since it can link to undocuemented.7.gz in the same directory. -- Joey Hess Tue, 10 Nov 1998 13:40:22 -0800 debhelper (1.2.1) unstable; urgency=low * dh_strip, dh_installinit: rewrite in perl. -- Joey Hess Mon, 9 Nov 1998 20:04:12 -0800 debhelper (1.2.0) unstable; urgency=low * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2. * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.) * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized. * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work. -- Joey Hess Mon, 9 Nov 1998 13:04:16 -0800 debhelper (1.1.24) unstable; urgency=low * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers. -- Joey Hess Tue, 27 Oct 1998 18:19:48 -0800 debhelper (1.1.23) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: At the suggestion of James Troup now deletes files named *.P in .deps/ subdirectories.

Now a new dh_installwm program handles registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager is installed, the window manager will never be registered.

(Ie, netscape-dmotif). * Modified dh_installinit -r so it does start the daemon on the initial install (#26680). -- Joey Hess Fri, 2 Oct 1998 15:55:13 -0700 debhelper (1.1.19) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmanpages: look at basename of man pacges specified on command line to skip, for backwards compatibility. -- Joey Hess Thu, 10 Sep 1998 11:31:42 -0700 debhelper (1.1.18) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installemacsen: substitute package name for #PACKAGE# when setting up postinst and prerm (#26560). -- Joey Hess Tue, 8 Sep 1998 14:24:30 -0700 debhelper (1.1.17) unstable; urgency=low * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note sections of shared libraries. * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do things you don't want them to. * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are present. It didn't before, which was a bug. -- Joey Hess Mon, 7 Sep 1998 17:33:19 -0700 debhelper (1.1.16) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: remove execute bits from static libraries as well as shared libraries.

This was actually unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page will fail this way if usr/info or usr/X11R6 is not present. Corrected the program to not fail.

Fixed. -- Joey Hess Thu, 27 Aug 1998 12:35:42 -0700 debhelper (1.1.11) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installchangelogs: added -k flag, that will make it install a symlink to the original name of the upstream changelog. -- Joey Hess Thu, 20 Aug 1998 15:40:40 -0700 debhelper (1.1.10) unstable; urgency=low * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper). I apologize for the inconvenience. * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't remove debian/files properly. * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl. * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built. * Removed bogus menu file. -- Joey Hess Mon, 17 Aug 1998 14:15:17 -0700 debhelper (1.1.9) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: has been removing the +x bits of all doc/*/examples/* files since version 0.97 or so.

I probably don't escape out all the characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway. * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it.

Now it's faster and it can install many oddly named files it died on before. * dh_installdocs: fixed a bug that installed TODO files mode 655 in native debian packages. -- Joey Hess Mon, 10 Aug 1998 15:01:15 -0700 debhelper (1.1.2) unstable; urgency=low * dh_strip: added -X to specify files to not strip (#25590). * Added dh_installemacsen, for automatic registration with emacsen-common (#21401). * Preliminary thoughts in TODO about converting entire debhelper programs to perl programs. -- Joey Hess Mon, 10 Aug 1998 13:35:17 -0700 debhelper (1.1.1) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: try to move all files specified, and only then bomb out if some of the file could not be found.

It's also much cleaner.

It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd would do in the same situation. * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release debhelper 1.0! * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd to debhelper. * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their permissions changed. * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase some people enjoy changing root's name. * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files, for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two files are treated identically. * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function. * Minor man page fixes. * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/ is empty.

You can use -X multiple times, too. * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES. -- Joey Hess Sun, 17 May 1998 11:26:09 -0700 debhelper (0.87) unstable; urgency=low * dh_strip: strip .comment and .note, not comment and note, when stripping elf binaries.

(#16644) * dh_makeshlibs: introduced a -V flag, which allows you to specify explicit version requirements in the shlibs file. * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregister,undocumented}: Added a -A flag, which makes any files/directories specified on the command line apply to ALL packages acted on. * Updated Standards-Version to latest. -- Joey Hess Mon, 5 Jan 1998 16:15:01 -0500 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly. * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a certian version of debhelper to build. * dh_{installdirs,installdocs,installexamples,suidregieter,undocumented}: behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command line now apply to the first package acted on. This may not be the first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on a given package, or -i or -a. * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules. * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered, and debhelper's behavior has altered. * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this is not going to affect any packages currently in debian. * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog. * README: explain a way to embed debhelper generated shell script into a perl script. * dh_installinit: A hack to work around the problem in getopt(1) that led to bug report #16229: Any text specified on the command line that is not a flag will be presumed to be part of the -u flag. Yuck. -- Joey Hess Sat, 3 Jan 1998 14:36:15 -0500 debhelper (0.37) unstable; urgency=low * dh_du: Fixed hardcoded debian/tmp. * This change got lost by accident, redid it: Optimized out most of the slowdown caused by using dpkg-parsechangelog - now it's only called by 2 dh_* programs. -- Joey Hess Sun, 28 Dec 1997 20:45:22 -0500 debhelper (0.36) unstable; urgency=low * dh_undocumented: exit with an error message if the man page specified does not have a section. -- Joey Hess Sat, 27 Dec 1997 14:14:04 -0500 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low * dh_lib: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-) * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Dec 1997 22:19:39 -0500 debhelper (0.34) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed typo #16215. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Dec 1997 14:41:46 -0500 debhelper (0.33) unstable; urgency=low * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, becuase autoconf uses that. Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp. * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789 * examples/*: use dh_clean -k in the binary targets of all rules files, for safety. -- Joey Hess Thu, 11 Dec 1997 19:05:41 -0500 debhelper (0.32) unstable; urgency=low * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps, and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is depricated. * Added an examples/rules.indep file. * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep section. -- Joey Hess Wed, 10 Dec 1997 19:53:13 -0500 debhelper (0.31) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed man page typos #15685. -- Joey Hess Sat, 6 Dec 1997 21:44:58 -0500 debhelper (0.30) unstable; urgency=low * dh_md5sumes, dh_installdirs, dh_compress: fixed assorted cd bugs. -- Joey Hess Fri, 5 Dec 1997 15:08:36 -0500 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else. * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;', `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection) * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean, dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit(). -- Joey Hess Thu, 4 Dec 1997 13:56:14 -0500 debhelper (0.28) unstable; urgency=low * dh_makeshlibs: fixes type that caused the program to crash (#15536). -- Joey Hess Wed, 3 Dec 1997 13:22:48 -0500 debhelper (0.27) unstable; urgency=low * README: fixed typoes (one serious). * Ran ispell on all the documentation. -- Joey Hess Sun, 30 Nov 1997 18:48:20 -0500 debhelper (0.26) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdirs: Do not create usr/doc/$PACKAGE directory. Bug #15498 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of the dh_* programs (#15497). * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499). -- Joey Hess Sun, 30 Nov 1997 13:01:40 -0500 debhelper (0.25) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: was not reading debian/compress file - fixed. * examples/*: moved dh_clean call to after make clean is run. -- Joey Hess Tue, 25 Nov 1997 15:43:58 -0500 debhelper (0.24) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: no longer clean up empty (0 byte) files (#15240). -- Joey Hess Tue, 25 Nov 1997 14:29:37 -0500 debhelper (0.23) unstable; urgency=low * Now depends on fileutils (>= 3.16-4), becuase with any earlier version of fileutils, install -p will not work (#14680) -- Joey Hess Wed, 19 Nov 1997 23:59:43 -0500 debhelper (0.22) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs: Install README.debian as README.Debian (of course, README.Debian is installed with the same name..) -- Joey Hess Tue, 18 Nov 1997 01:23:53 -0500 debhelper (0.21) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installinit: on removal, fixed how update-rc.d is called. -- Joey Hess Sat, 15 Nov 1997 20:43:14 -0500 debhelper (0.20) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_installinit, which installs an init.d script, and edits the postinst, postrm, etc. -- Joey Hess Fri, 14 Nov 1997 00:45:53 -0500 debhelper (0.19) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmenu.1: menufile is in section 5, not 1. -- Joey Hess Wed, 12 Nov 1997 19:54:48 -0500 debhelper (0.18) unstable; urgency=low * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error. * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej, .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files. * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the commands once, and then run them seperatly. -- Joey Hess Mon, 10 Nov 1997 19:48:36 -0500 debhelper (0.17) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_installdirs, automatically creates subdirectories (for compatibility with debstd's debian/dirs file. * dh_lib: fixed problem with -P flag. -- Joey Hess Fri, 7 Nov 1997 16:07:11 -0500 debhelper (0.16) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: always compress changelog and upstream changelog, no matter what their size (#14604) (policy 5.8) -- Joey Hess Thu, 6 Nov 1997 19:50:36 -0500 debhelper (0.15) unstable; urgency=low * README: documented what temporary directories are used by default for installing package files into. * dh_*: added -P flag, to let a different package build directory be specified. -- Joey Hess Thu, 6 Nov 1997 15:51:22 -0500 debhelper (0.14) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: leave permissions on files in /usr/doc/packages/examples unchanged. * Install examples/rules* executable. -- Joey Hess Mon, 27 Oct 1997 12:42:33 -0500 debhelper (0.13) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_makeshlibs, automatically generates a shlibs file. -- Joey Hess Fri, 24 Oct 1997 20:33:14 -0400 debhelper (0.12) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed mispelling of dh_md5sums in examples rules files and README. (#13990) Thanks, Adrian. -- Joey Hess Fri, 24 Oct 1997 14:35:30 -0400 debhelper (0.11) unstable; urgency=low * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles. (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith ) #14048. * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter. * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README. * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048). -- Joey Hess Tue, 21 Oct 1997 13:17:28 -0400 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages. * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for multiple binary packages. * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you should rebuild them with this version. * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode. -- Joey Hess Mon, 20 Oct 1997 14:44:30 -0400 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package. * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page. -- Joey Hess Sat, 18 Oct 1997 20:55:39 -0400 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_md5sum, generates a md5sums file. * dh_clean: fixed to echo all commands when verbose mode is on. -- Joey Hess Fri, 17 Oct 1997 14:18:26 -0400 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops. * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package, it is installed as TODO.Debian. * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as debian/README.debian. * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks. * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable in a few situations.) -- Joey Hess Mon, 13 Oct 1997 20:08:05 -0400 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash. -- Joey Hess Fri, 10 Oct 1997 15:24:40 -0400 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_installcron to install cron jobs. -- Joey Hess Tue, 30 Sep 1997 19:37:41 -0400 debhelper (0.4) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_strip to strip binaries and libraries. * Fixed several man pages. -- Joey Hess Sun, 28 Sep 1997 20:46:32 -0400 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean. * Removed some pointless uses of cat. -- Joey Hess Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but is ready for general use. * Added man pages for all commands. * Multiple binary package support. * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on, by group (arch or noarch), and by package name. * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as parameters. * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be auto-installed as parameters. * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships and permissions. * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so files. * Added a README. * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside the package build directory it is to act on. * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib. * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean. -- Joey Hess Tue, 23 Sep 1997 12:26:12 -0400 debhelper (0.1) experimental; urgency=low * First release. This is a snapshot of my work so far, and it not yet ready to replace debstd. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Sep 1997 15:01:25 -0400
