Changelog
debhelper (12.1.1~ubuntu18.04.1~ppa1) bionic; urgency=medium
* No-change backport to bionic
debhelper (12.1.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_installinitramfs: Install hooks as executable rather than
plan files. Thanks to Thorsten Glaser for the report.
(Closes: #922990)
* dh_compress: Fix bug where examples where compressed when a
doc package shipped examples for another package. Thanks to
Christian Kastner for reporting this. (Closes: #922267)
debhelper (12.1) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Xavier Guimard ]
* dh_fixperms: add .node in mode_0644_patterns.
[ Sylvestre Ledru ]
* dh_strip: Print a warning when an ELF binary does not have a
build-id (or when dh_strip cannot find it).
[ Niels Thykier ]
* Dh_Lib.pm: Strip leading and trailing whitespace from lines in
regular debhelper config files. Whitespace-only lines from
executable config files are now explicitly detected and triggers
a human readable error message early rather than warnings/errors
about uninitialized variables. Thanks to Ben Finney for the
suggestion and the initial patch. (Closes: #919853)
* meson.pm: Dump "meson-logs/testlog.txt" if testing fails with
an error. Thanks to Jeremy Bicha for the suggestion.
(Closes: #918066)
* dh_missing: Clarify the documentation about when -X with other
helpers can may dh_missing ignore paths that are not installed.
Thanks to Hilko Bengen for reporting the original documentation
was unsufficient. (Closes: #917362)
* d/control: Bump Standards-Version to 4.3.0 - no changes required.
[ Baptiste Jammet ]
* fr.po: Update French translation. (Closes: #921254)
debhelper (12) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* Release debhelper/12 marking compat 12 as stable.
* dh: Special NOOP PROMISE of cli-options() to always allow skipping
the helper (as we know no option can make it change behaviour).
[ Dmitry Shachnev ]
* dh_compress: Do not compress mkdocs search indices
(search_index.json).
debhelper (11.5.4) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* Dh_Lib.pm: Reopen stdin to read from /dev/null in doit (and its sibling
functions) to prevent issues when stdin is open in write-only mode
(which is what nohup(1) does). Thanks to Julian Gilbey for reporting
the issue and providing a sample patch for it as well.
(Closes: #913663)
* fr.po: Add missing dash in "--parallel" in a translation. Thanks to
Christian Marillat for reporting the issue. (Closes: #915255)
* debhelper.7: Document that the "python-distutils" build system is
removed in compat 12. Thanks to Axel Beckert for reporting the
omission. (Closes: #915530)
[ Luca Boccassi ]
* makefile.pm: revert passing V=0/1 to makefiles. Fixes FTBFS in apcupsd
(and possibly more).
(Closes: #914419)
debhelper (11.5.3) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Helmut Grohne ]
* cmake.pm: Pass the usual CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR for ppc64el
when cross compiling. (Closes: #913425)
debhelper (11.5.2) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Luca Boccassi ]
* makefile.pm: Pass V=0 or V=1 to the make file depending on
whether "terse" is set in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_gconf: Mark dh_gconf as deprecated (see #908845).
* Dh_Lib.pm: Separate lowest non-deprecated compat level and
the lowest compat level we generate "debhelper-compat (= X)"
relations for.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Open compat level 13 as an experimental compat
level.
* meson.pm: In compat 13, run tests with "meson test" rather
than "ninja test". Thanks to Simon McVittie for the
suggestion. (Closes: #912560)
* dh: Correctly include dh_installsystemduser in the sequence
in compat 12. It was excluded due to an inverted boolean
meaning it was added in compat up to (and incl.) compat 11.
Thanks to Michael Biebl for reporting the issue.
(Closes: #913329)
* fr.po: Correct translations for dh_installman.1 which
incorrectly implied that dh_installman was deprecated.
Thanks to Laurent Bigonville for reporting the issue.
(Closes: #912978)
[ Helmut Grohne ]
* cmake.pm: Pass QMAKE_EXECUTABLE when cross-building.
(Closes: #913415)
debhelper (11.5.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_systemd_start: Fix bug introduced in debhelper/11.5 where
dh_systemd_start would fail to substitute a token in the
generated maintscript for maintainer scripts when using
"--restart-after-upgrade" (including when the option is
on by default). Thanks to Colin Watson for reporting the
bug. (Closes: #912420)
debhelper (11.5) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Daniele Nicolodi ]
* dh_installsystemduser: New helper responsible for istalling package
maintainer supplied systemd user instance units and to produce
postinst and postrm maintiner scripts code blocks to appropriately
enable, mask and disable units when the package is installed,
upgraded, or removed. (Closes: #764678)
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_installsystemd.1: Improve the documentation for --name to make
it more clear that it also changes the name of the source files in
the debian directory. Thanks to Emel Hasdal for reporting the
issue and reviewing the change. (Closes: #899983)
debhelper (11.4.1) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* debhelper.pod: Quote the value of INSTALL in description of
compat level 11. Thanks to Josh Triplett for the suggestion
(Closes: #908906)
* d/changelog: Fix typos in old entries.
* dh_strip: Remove empty /usr/lib/debug directories left over
by dh_dwz. Thanks to Ferenc Wágner for reporting the issue.
(Closes: #909303)
* dh: Disable optimization to skip tools based on command-line
parameters when dh is passed long options. Since debhelper
had implicit support for auto-abbrevation of long options
and people have started to rely on it, the optimization in
debhelper/11.4 caused regressions. The optimization is
still enabled for short options. (Closes: #909704)
[ Josh Triplett ]
* debhelper.pod: Document how to declare the debhelper compat
level via the "debhelper-compat (= X)"-method.
(Closes: #908909)
* debhelper.pod: Document that we do not provide debhelper-compat
for experimental/beta versions of compat levels.
(Closes: #908907)
* doc/PROGRAMMING: Fix typos.
debhelper (11.4) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* dh_dwz.1: Remove now obsolete note in manpage claming that dh_dwz
was experimental. Since debhelper/11.3, dh_dwz was no longer
experimental.
* cmake.pm: Explicitly set CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR on native builds.
This should not make any pratical difference but aligns the
behaviour of native and cross builds. Thanks to Simon McVittie
for the suggestion. (Closes: #903042)
* autoconf.pm: Leave --libexecdir at upstream default (/usr/libexec)
in compat 12 and later. (Closes: #859724)
* meson.pm: Ditto.
* dh: Support implicitly loading addons via "dh-sequence-${name}"
relations in Build-Depends (which would imply "dh ... --with ${name}").
Only simple relations in Build-Depends are considered at the moment.
* debian/control: Provide dh-sequence-dwz, dh-sequence-installinitramfs,
and dh-sequence-systemd, which enables packages to use the new
feature to implicitly autoload dh addons via Build-Depends.
* dh_md5sums: Rewrite handling of conffiles and excludes to better
support an arbitrary number of files that should be omitted from the
md5sums file. Previously, dh_md5sums could fail with the error:
"""... "/bin/sh": Argument list too long at ..."""
(Closes: #864182)
* dh_installinit.1: Correct documentation which was inaccurate in relation
to which compat levels where dh_installinit still supported systemd
items and upstart jobs. Thanks to Theodore Y. Ts'o for bring up the
issue.
* dh_installdeb: In compat 12, ignore the maintainer provided conffiles.
It has not been useful since compat 3.
* Dh_Lib.pm: isnative() now also resets $dh{VERSION} as a side-effect when
using the cache to answer the request. This is mostly useful because
it enables the following optimization.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Have isnative() special-case debian/changelog to avoid
reparsing that file over and over in the same helper.
* dh_gconf: Explicitly declare the --priority parameter with the intention
to remove it from the default debhelper options.
* dh_installemacsen: Ditto.
* dh_installgsettings: Ditto.
* dh_installudev: Ditto.
* dh_installwm: Ditto.
* Dh_Getopt.pm: Remove --priority from the list of options supported by all
debhelper tools. The only external consumer was dh_installtex from
tex-common, which was fixed in 6.10.
* dh_installinit: In compat 12, pass --skip-systemd-native to update-rc.d
to make it ignore systemd services.
* dh_installsystemd: In compat 12, avoid relying on dh_installinit's
shell snippets for starting services. (Closes: #887904, #887900)
* dh_installinit: Drop unnecessary "systemctl daemon-reload" in
auto-generated postrm script. The systemd package has a trigger for
handling sysvinit scripts and dh_installsystemd handles the requirement
for native systemd unit files.
* dh_clean: Explicitly declare the -k/--keep parameter with the intention
to remove it from the default debhelper options.
* dh_installchangelogs: Ditto.
* dh_strip: Ditto.
* Dh_Getopt.pm: Remove -k/--keep from the list of options supported by all
debhelper tools. The only external consumer was dh_gtkmodules which is now
deprecated and a "noop" command. No consumers of dh_gtkmodules appear to
pass -k/--keep to dh_gtkmodules any longer.
* dh: Rewrite command line optimization logic to enable support for a new
NOOP PROMISE for command line options. This will make dh able to skip
helpers in some cases even when passed options. (Closes: #866581)
* dh_*: Add a NOOP PROMISE for command options where applicable.
* dh: Remove old compatibility code from compat 10 that never worked.
* Dh_Getopt.pm: Fix a bug that would make "-S" be interpreted as "-s" when
"-S" was not given an argument.
* debian/control: Bump Standards-Versions to 4.2.1 - no changes required.
* debhelper.pod: Declare compat 12 in beta testing.
[ Juhani Numminen ]
* dh_installsystemd.1: Fix typo in manpage.
* dh_installinit.1: Ditto.
[ Fabian Wolff ]
* dh_installdocs.1: Fix typo.
* dh_link.1: Ditto.
[ Nicholas Guriev ]
* cmake.pm, autoconf.pm: honor QUIET setting (closes: #907738).
* Dh_Lib.pm: use terse build option to set QUIET setting (closes: #907595).
[ Clément Hermann ]
* debhelper.pod: Document dh_golang's DH_GOLANG_EXCLUDES behaviour change
for compat 12 (closes: #908656)
debhelper (11.3.5) unstable; urgency=medium
* Dh_Lib.pm: Introduce a new glob_expand error handler to
better emulate the old style glob code to fail when a
non-glob entry in the config file is missing.
* dh_installdocs: Use the new glob_expand error handler to
restore the behaviour to that of debhelper/10.5.1 and older.
Thanks to Christoph Berg for reporting the issue.
(Closes: #902355)
* dh_installexamples: Ditto.
* dh_installinfo: Ditto.
* dh_installman: Ditto.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Fix a bug where ending debian/control on (what
debhelper believed was) a comment line could cause debhelper
to omit the last package listed in the file. Thanks to
Santiago Vila for reporting the bug. (Closes: #902748)
debhelper (11.3.4) unstable; urgency=medium
* Dh_Lib.pm: Fix bug that made the parser assign the wrong
value from the Build-Profiles field. Thanks to Sven Joachim
for reporting the bug. (Closes: #902268)
* debhelper.pod: Rewrite the compat 11 change on "main doc
packages" in an attempt to clarify what is happening in
compat 11. Thanks to Paul Gevers for pointing out some of
the confusing aspects.
debhelper (11.3.3) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* d/control: Remove versioned Breaks on qt5-qmake as it
prevents others from backporting qt5 packages to
stable-backports. The Breaks was added to assist
cross-building in buster and it has already served that
purpose by now.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Provide a more helpful diagnostic message when
an executable config file fails and it does not have a
#!-line (and is not an ELF binary). Thanks to Nadav
Ruskin for the suggestion. (Closes: #902214)
* debhelper.pod: Make a dedicated subsection about executable
debhelper config files to make them more prominent. Thanks
to Nadav Ruskin for the suggestion. (Closes: #901715)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Avoid forking a shell when running executable
debhelper config files.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Validate package names according the rules for
Debian packages. Thanks to Raphael Geissert and Tim
Düsterhus for the suggestion. (Closes: #567178)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Rewrite deb822 parser to validate d/control
more strictly. Particularly, debhelper no longer permits
the same field twice in a stanza. Thanks to Tim Düsterhus
for the suggestion.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Ensure that at most once definition of
(X-)Package-Type is used per stanza.
[ Roberto C. Sánchez ]
* cmake.pm: Reorder arguments to cmake to make "-D FOO=BAR"
work. This form only works if it is before the directory
passed to cmake.
[ Daniele Nicolodi ]
* dh_installsystemd: Improve man page.
* dh_installsystemd: Tighten error handling: fail immediately if an unit
name not installed by the package is specified on the command line.
* dh_installsystemd: Fix the undocumented '--no-also' command line
option to do not affect handling of the Alias= directives.
* dh_installsystemd: Add timer units to the list of units considered
when the '--name' option is specified.
debhelper (11.3.2) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_installchangelogs: Fix a second regression that made
dh_installchangelogs ignore upstream changelogs in the
source directories. Thanks to gregor herrmann for
reporting the imcomplete fix. (Closes: #899248)
debhelper (11.3.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_installchangelogs: Fix logic error that made
dh_installchangelogs incorrectly ignore explicitly passed
changelogs. Thanks to Sven Joachim and Rene Engelhard
for reporting the bug. (Closes: #899248)
debhelper (11.3) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* Buildsystem.pm: Fix use of undefined variable in certain
error conditions.
* dh_makeshlibs: Support -VUpstream-Version and -VNone as
alternative to passing -V or omitting -V respectively.
* dh_makeshlibs: Make -VUpstream-Version the default in
compat 12 when -V is omitted. (Closes: #896464)
* dh_makeshlibs: Correct handling of an explicit -V when
a source builds multiple library packages and provides
explicit shlibs files for a subset of them. Previously,
the -V option could have been ignored for some of the
packages containing libraries.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Fall back to a regular mv(1) when rename fails
with EXDEV (cross mount point moves). This restores
debhelper's ability to move files between mount points,
which can happen in dh_builddeb has to correct the
extension of a binary package built by dpkg-deb.
Thanks to Evan Krall for the report. (Closes: #897569)
* dh_missing.1: Consistently mention that dh_missing
defaults to --list-missing in compat 12. Thanks to
Robie Basak for spotting the contradicting documentation.
(Closes: #898161)
* dh_compress: Avoid adding a duplicate ".gz" extension on
a symlink if it already has it. This can happen e.g. with
dh_installman recompresses a manpage that was compressed and
had a valid symlink to it. Thanks to Andreas Hasenack for
reporting the bug. (Closes: LP: #1765851)
* debian/control: Depend on dwz for dh_dwz.
* dh_dwz: Generate a per-package multifile by default. This
feature can be disabled by --no-dwz-multifile.
* dh: Run dh_dwz by default in compat 12.
* dh_dwz: Remove warning about the dwz feature being experimental.
* dwz.pm: Ditto.
* dh_installsystemd: Use the basename of the "tmpfiles" config
files. This makes "systemd-tmpfiles --create" search for it
in both /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d and in /etc/tmpfiles.d. With
this change the system administrator can now override the
"tmpfiles" config shipped by the package in
/usr/libtmpfiles.d. Thanks to Nick Groenen and Seyeong Kim
for filing the bug. (Closes: #894510)
* dh_installinit: Ditto.
* dh_installchangelogs: Look for changelog files installed by the
upstream build system in the package build dir (i.e. d/<pkg>/
and *not* debian/tmp!) and use them in preference to the one in the
source package where available. This avoids some cases of duplicated
upstream changelogs. Thanks to Evgeni Golov for the suggestion.
(Closes: #513521)
* dh_md5sums: Stop deleting empty md5sums files as dpkg (now) creates
the empty file on install if absent. Thanks to Rhonda D'Vine for
suggesting the improvement. (Closes: #776853)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Re-organise exports.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Retract "print_and_complex_doit"; the only potential
consumer went with a different code snippet.
* dh_installinitramfs: New tool to install initramfs hook scripts and
handle related maintscripts. Thanks to Evgeni Golov for the
suggestion. (Closes: #491027)
* installinitramfs.pm: New sequence to enable dh_installinitramfs in
compat 11 and earlier.
* dh_installdirs: Add --(no-)create-in-sourcedir option to make
dh_installdirs create directories in the source directory in addition
in the package build directory. Furthermore, dh_installdirs now
accepts --sourcedir to overrule the default source directory (just
like e.g. dh_install). Thanks to Robert Luberda for the suggestion.
(Closes: #816332)
* Buildsystem.pm: Move code from Dh_Buildsystems.pm to Buildsystem.pm
to make the latter independent of the former. This makes it possible
to load Buildsystem.pm without debian/control being present. Thanks
to Andreas Tille for the bug report. (Closes: #897026)
* dh_installinit.1: Fix some incorrect markup in the documentation of
--no-enable.
* makefile.pm: Revert the use of -O/-Oline for make, which helps
debugging what commands time out on the buildds. Thanks to
Adrian Bunk for the report. (Closes: #895196)
* dh_testroot.1: Update R³ documentation to reflect the current
implementation and not the initial draft. Thanks to Jens Reyer
for reporting the inconsistency. (Closes: #899125)
* d/changelog: Retroactively add Closes for LP bug #1766102 in 11.2
release.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Correct control parser to permit zero or more leading
space after the "Section" field (instead of "exactly one" space).
* python_distutils.pm: Deprecate the python-distutils build system
and mark it as removed in compat 12. Users are recommended to
migrate to the third-party build system called "pybuild". This
deprecation implies that python3 (among other) will not be
supported in the python-distutils build system.
(Closes: #568033, #597105, #597342, #769840, #813686, #898347)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Remove warning for using "debhelper-compat"
build-dependency.
[ Dmitry Shachnev ]
* qmake.pm: Use ${DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE}-qmake wrapper for
cross-compilation. (Closes: #895286)
[ Helmut Grohne ]
* cmake: Pass CC/CXX environment variables down during native
compilation as well. (Closes: #897083)
[ Chris Lamb ]
* dh_listpackages.1: Document that packages are listed in the
order that they appear in debian/control.
(Closes: #897949)
[ Peter Pentchev ]
* Dh_Lib: Permit leading and trailing whitespace around the
debhelper-compat dependency when it is the first or the last
relation listed. (Closes: #897937)
[ Jakub Wilk ]
* dh_usrlocal: Fix invalid POD markup.
debhelper (11.2.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Buildsystem.pm: Correctly pass build directory values to
target buildsystems. Thanks to Helmut Grohne, Adrian Bunk
and Tobias Frost for the reports and debugging.
(Closes: #895174, #895181)
* Buildsystems: Avoid choosing a build system for the clean
step if it is not necessary. Previously, debhelper could
choose a "random" build system that would prefer building
in a separate build directory on the basis that the build
directory should be removed. With this, change we only
choose such a build system if there is a build directory
to remove.
debhelper (11.2) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Niels Thykier ]
* debhelper.7: Add a ~ to the suggested Build-Depends to ensure
backports also work for debhelper with single integer versions.
Thanks to Trent W. Buck for the suggestion. (Closes: #894666)
* makefile.pm: Use -Oline with make. This avoids make mistaking
a target name for a value for -O and should make build time
outs less likely for "long" targets. (Closes: #894573)
* Dh_Lib.pm: Fix bug that make debhelper trip on packages with
the version "0". Thanks to Chris Lamb for reporting the bug
plus debugging the issue. (Closes: #894895, LP: #1766102)
* Buildsystem.pm: Rewrite to support build systems that generate
build files for another build system (without using
inheritance). This enables generator build systems to have
multiple backends.
* cmake.pm: Support ninja as alternative backend (by using the
build system cmake+ninja). Thanks to Kyle Edwards for the
suggestion. (Closes: #895044)
* meson.pm: Rewrite as a generator build system with ninja as
the only backend.
* debhelper.7: Recommend packagers to use "debian/<pkg>.<file>"
over "debian/<file>" in most cases. Thanks to Johannes
Schauer for the suggestion.
* dh_usrlocal: Implement a simple guard for directories that
will likely cause issues in the shell snippets.
* dh_usrlocal: Use the new rules from Debian Policy 4.1.4 to
determine the default ownership and mode for directories.
* d/control: Bump Standards-Versions to 4.1.4. Beyond the
dh_usrlocal change listed above, no changes were required.
[ Nicolas Boulenguez ]
* dh_installxfonts: Fix typo that causes a misc:Depends on
non-existing xfont-utils. (Closes: #894835)
* dh_installwm.1: Document --all. (Closes: #895011)
* dh_usrlocal: Fix bug where the generated prerm script generated
by dh_usrlocal could remove a directory directly in /usr/local.
(Closes: #894549)
[ Mattia Rizzolo ]
* Lower the version restrictions on dpkg and dpkg-dev. They are not
needed anymore, as R³ support is not implied anymore, but requires
an environment variable to be passed.
debhelper (11.1.6) unstable; urgency=medium
* Dh_Lib: Avoid passing invalid parameters to a function, which
caused tons of "package ARRAY(...) is not in control info"
warnings from dh in some cases. It triggers when dh thinks
the package might have architecture qualified debhelper config
files. The warning is harmless (besides the noise) for all
native builds and most cross builds, but it did invalidate
attempt to make pkgfile() use "DEB_TARGET_ARCH{,_OS}"
(see 11.1.5~alpha1). Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for reporting
the issue. (Closes: #891546)
* dh: Refactor handling of sequences to simplify some code paths.
* autopkgtests: Remove "use-name" tests as it no longer works.
The debhelper module makes assumptions in which directory it is
run from and the test breaks these assumptions.
* debian/control: Comment out versioned dependency on make.
It is not strictly necessary for Debian and causes issues with
make-guile. On the other hand, it is useful for people
backporting debhelper on derivatives and hench leaving it as a
comment. (Closes: #892586)
* debian/control: Bump dependency on dh-autoreconf for the fix for
#889567.
* dh_installinfo: Accept --sourcedir like the documentation says
for compat 11. Prevently the option was incorrectly silently
ignored. Thanks to Nicolas Boulenguez for the report and the
patch. (Closes: #894226)
* dh_ucf.1: Apply patch from Nicolas Boulenguez to add missing
documentation of the "--all" and non-option parameters.
(Closes: #894228)
* dh_installxfonts: Apply patch from Nicolas Boulenguez. This
ensures that the generated maintscript snippets are bit-for-bit
reproducible when a package ships xfons in multiple fonts
directories. (Closes: #894227)
* Dh_Lib: Improve the "make_symlink" code to avoid non-compliant
symlinks when the link name was not a normalized path. Note
that ".."-segments are now disallowed in the link name (but not
the link target). Thanks to Nicolas Boulenguez for reporting
the bug plus the test cases. (Closes: #894229)
* dh_installinfo: Report installed files to dh_missing. Thanks
to Daniel Kahn Gillmor for reporting this omission.
(Closes: #893160)
* Dh_Lib: Make Dh_Lib loadable again without a debian/control being
present. This makes the autopkgtests work again.
debhelper (11.1.5) unstable; urgency=medium
* Upload to unstable.
* Add a warning for using the new experimental feature for
requesting the compat level via the Build-Depends field.
debhelper (11.1.5~alpha1) experimental; urgency=medium
* dh_installdocs: Add missing documentation about --sourcedir
in compat 11.
* dh_installdocs: Document that d/tmp is used by default
in compat 11.
* dh_installexamples: Ditto.
* dh_installinfo: Ditto.
* dh_installman: Ditto.
* meson.pm: Apply patch from Jakub Wilk to fix typo in the name
of the "C.UTF-8" locale.
* autoscripts/postinst-systemd-restart: Apply patch from
Christoph Biedl to fix indentation. (Closes: #890373)
* dh_testroot: With the advent of DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT, it
no longer needs to read debian/control to tell whether root
is needed or not. However, the warning remains for calling
dh_testroot outside the source root (as we may need to check
the compat level in a future version of debhelper).
* makefile.pm: Synchronize output from make (via -O) when
make runs in parallel except when STDOUT is a TTY. Thanks
to Goswin von Brederlow for the suggestion. (Closes: #768791)
* dh_gencontrol: Avoid uninitialized value warning when there
are no build-ids (e.g. because the builder disabled the
dbgsym building via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS). This regression
was introduced in 11.1. Thanks to Christian Marillat for
reporting the bug. (Closes: #890736)
* Dh_Lib: pkgfile() now properly uses for DEB_TARGET_ARCH{,_OS}
when the package is set to be built for the target
architecture.
* d/control: Drop dependency on binutils; it does not reflect
our actual requirement and the package or builder will ensure
that the current binutils is installed for other reasons
any way. Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the report.
(Closes: #891187)
* Dh_Lib: Add an experimental feature to determine the requested
compat level from the Build-Depends field.
debhelper (11.1.4) unstable; urgency=medium
* qmake.pm/qmake4.pm: Avoid global state in the build systems.
* dh_makeshlibs: Fix --no-act, which could still cause writes
to the shlibs file. Thanks to Sven Joachim for reporting it.
(Closes: #888974)
* dh_installdocs: Discard auto-detected main doc package when
passed -A/--all as it causes file-conflicts.
(Closes: #886108, #888294)
* Dh_Lib: Fix regression where "foo{bar}" would not be matched

* debian/control: Add a Breaks on meson to ensure that we have
meson (>= 0.40.0) as the meson build system uses --wrap-mode.
This is mostly relevant for backports.
* Dh_Lib.pm: When printing commands (e.g. for doit), also show
changes to the environment (when done as a part of the

* Dh_Lib.pm/dh_testroot: Support the DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD environment
that replaces DPKG_GAIN_ROOT_CMD.
* dh_installinit/dh_installsystemd: Re-order snippets so service
handling is always the first to happen in removal scripts and last
to happen on install scripts. This means that configuration file
management and systemd-tmpfiles handling will now always happen
before the service is started on install/upgrade. Thanks to
Дилян Палаузов and Simon McVittie for reporting the bug.
(Closes: #814285, #885998)
- Note that the deprecated dh_systemd_enable and dh_systemd_start
helpers have not been changed. Services handled by these may

the extension of the dbgsym packages are different than for regular
deb packages.
* dh_installsystemd,dh_systemd_start: Use "restart" instead of the

tmpfiles.d directories to only look in the tmpfiles.d directories.
* Add experimental support for building some packages for "TARGET"
rather than "HOST" via the X-DH-Build-For-Type field. The field
is subject to removal and changes without notice. The field is
not considered by dpkg tooling and therefore you will still have
to manually work around tools like dpkg-gencontrol (even when

performance if the manpages are unevenly split between the packages.
* dh_install: Optimize some patterns into bulked "cp" calls. This
optimization is only applicable in some cases (notably, it is always

* Dh_Lib.pm: Fix typo in error message.
* Dh_Lib.pm: Rewrite install_* to use File::Copy to avoid the
overhead of a fork+exec per file. For simplicity, the verbose

* Dh_Lib.pm: Replace most of the fork+exec calls to mv for simple

* Dh_Lib.pm: Add sub to make common dh_* tools do their thing in

debhelper (8.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
* dh: Now you can use override_dh_command-arch and override_dh_command-indep
to run different overrides when building arch and indep packages. 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.

rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.

make ${misc:Pre-Depends} expand to multiarch-support.
* Depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.0) for multiarch support. Note to backporters:
If you remove that dependency, debhelper will fall back to not doing
multiarch stuff in v9 mode, which is probably what you want.

* Started work on Debhelper v8. It is still experimental, and more
changes are planned for that mode.
* dh_installman: Support .so links relative to the current section.
* dh_installman: Avoid converting .so links to symlinks if the link
target is not present in the same binary package, on advice of
Colin Watson. (To support eventual so search paths.)
* Add deprecation warning for dh_clean -k.
* dh_testversion: Removed this deprecated and unused command.
* debian/compress files are now deprecated. Seems only one package
(genesis) still uses them.
* dh_fixperms: Tighten globs used to find library .so files,
avoiding incorrectly matching things like "foo.sources". 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.
(Ie, use "dh $@ --foo", not "dh --foo $@")
This avoids ambiguities when parsing options to be passed on to debhelper
commands. (See #570039)

not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags).
Closes: #570373
* Typo. 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. This change
is mostly useful when using minimal rules files with dh. Closes: #572077

* Move two more command-specific options to only be accepted by the commands

to avoid ~/.modulebuildrc influencing the build. Closes: #517423
* dh_installmenus: Revert removal of update-menus calls. Closes: #518919
Menu refuses to add unconfigured packages to the menu, and thus
omits packages when triggered, unfortunatly. I hope its behavior will

* Improve error messages when child commands fail.
* Depend on dpkg-dev 1.14.19, the first to support Package-Type
fields in dpkg-gencontrol.
* dh_gencontrol: No longer need to generate the udeb filename
when calling dpkg-gencontrol.
* dh_gencontrol: Do not need to tell dpkg-gencontol not to

* Add Vcs-Browser field. Closes: #507804
* Ignore unknown options in DH_OPTIONS. Debhelper will always ignore
such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back
to an error. This allows (ab)using DH_OPTIONS to pass command-specific
options.
(Note that getopt will warn about such unknown options. Eliminating this
warning without reimplementing much of Getopt::Long wasn't practical.)

* dh_installchangelogs: Fall back to looking for changelog files ending

complaining about it when it's empty. Closes: #498666
* dh: Fix typo in example. Closes: #500836
* Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
Closes: #370823
* Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
that uses them. Affected options are:
-x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
--include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
--restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
--libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
--dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
--dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
--language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
* If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
* To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
option. This will be converted back to an error later.

debhelper (7.0.50) unstable; urgency=low
* This release is designed to be easily backportable to stable,
to support the new style of rules file that I expect many packages will
use.
* dh: debian/rules override targets can change what is run
for a specific debhelper command in a sequence.
(Thanks Modestas Vainius for the improved makefile parser.)
* dh: Redid all the examples to use override targets, since these
eliminate all annoying boilerplate and are much easier to understand
than the old method.
* Remove rules.simple example, there's little need to use explicit targets
with dh anymore.
* dh: Support debian/rules calling make with -B,
which is useful to avoid issues with phony implicit
rules (see bug #509756).

debhelper (7.0.13) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_auto_install: Rather than looking at the number of binary packages
being acted on, look at the total number of binary packages in the
source package when deciding whether to install to debian/package or
debian/tmp. This avoids inconsistencies when building mixed arch all+any
packages using the binary-indep and binary-arch targets.
Closes: #487938
debhelper (7.0.12) unstable; urgency=medium
* Correct docs about dh_install and debian/tmp in v7 mode. It first looks in
the current directory, or whatever is configured with --srcdir. Then it
always falls back to looking in debian/tmp.
* Medium urgency to get this doc fix into testing.
debhelper (7.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
* dh: Man page fix. Closes: #485116
* Add stamp files to example rules targets. Closes: #486327
* Add a build dependency on file. The rules file now runs dh_strip and
dh_shlibdeps, which both use it. (It could be changed not to, but
it's good to have it run all the commands as a test.) Closes: #486439
* Typo fix. Closes: #486464
debhelper (7.0.10) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress: Do not compress index.sgml files, as generated by gtk-doc.
Closes: #484772
debhelper (7.0.9) unstable; urgency=low
* rules.tiny: Typo fix. Closes: #479647
* dh_installinit: Add --restart-after-upgrade, which avoids stopping a
daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping
its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded
while they're running, it's not the default. It might become the default
in a future (v8) compatibility level. Closes: #471060
* dh: fix POD error. Closes: #480191
* dh: Typo fixes. Closes: #480200
* dh: Add remove_command to the sequence interface.
* dh_auto_clean: setup.py clean can create pyc files. Remove. Closes: #481899
debhelper (7.0.8) unstable; urgency=low
* dh: Add an interface that third-party packages providing debhelper commands
can use to insert them into a command sequence.
(See dh(1), "SEQUENCE ADDONS".)
* dh: --with=foo can be used to include such third-party commands.
So, for example, --with=cli could add the dh_cli* commands from
cli-common.
* Moved python-support special case out of dh and into a python-support
sequence addon. --with=python-support is enabled by default to avoid
breaking backwards compatibility.
debhelper (7.0.7) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installxfonts: Fix precidence problem that exposes a new warning
message in perl 5.10.
debhelper (7.0.6) unstable; urgency=low

debhelper (7.0.3) unstable; urgency=low
* dh: Fix man page typos. Closes: #477933
* Add missing $! to error message when the log can't be opened.
* One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command
run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build
daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs
dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that
only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting
logging by dh_listpackages.
debhelper (7.0.2) unstable; urgency=low
* dh: Optimise the case where the binary-arch or binary-indep sequence is
run and there are no packages of that type.
* dh_auto_configure: Set PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT when configuring MakeMaker
packages to avoid interactive prompts.
* dh_auto_*: Also support packages using Module::Build.
* dh_auto_*: Fix some calls to setup.py. Now tested and working with
python packages.
* dh_install: Find all possible cases of "changelog" and "changes", rather
than just looking for some predefined common cases.
debhelper (7.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
* I lied, one more v7 change slipped in..
* dh_installchangelogs: In v7 mode, if no upstream changelog is specified,
and the package is not native, guess at a few common changelog filenames.
debhelper (7.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
* dh: New program that runs a series of debhelper commands in a sequence.
This can be used to construct very short rules files (as short as 3
lines), while still exposing the full power of debhelper when it's
needed.
* dh_auto_configure: New program, automates running ./configure,
Makefile.PL, and python distutils. Calls them with exactly the same
options as cdbs does by default, and allows adding/overriding options.
* dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
planned but not yet implemented.)
* dh_auto_test: New program, automates running make test or make check
if the Makefile has such a target.
* dh_auto_clean: New program, automates running make clean (or distclean,
or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.
* dh_auto_install: New program, automates running make install, or using
setup.py to install. 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. (Too DWIM, and "core" is not
necessarily a core dump.) Closes: #477391
* dh_prep: New program, does the same as dh_clean -k (which will be
deprecated later).
debhelper (6.0.12) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_icons: Support .xpm format icons. Stop looking for .jpg icons, and
also, for completeness, support .icon files. This matches the set of
extensions supported by gtk-update-icon-cache. Closes: #448094
debhelper (6.0.11) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_installman: man --recode transparently uncompresses compressed
pages. So when saving the output back, save it to a non-compressed
filename (and delete the original, compressed file). Closes: #470913
debhelper (6.0.10) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_perl: Remove empty directories created by MakeMaker.
debhelper (6.0.9) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installman: Don't recode symlinks. Closes: #471196
debhelper (6.0.8) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installman: Convert all man pages in the build directory to utf-8, not
just those installed by the program.
debhelper (6.0.7) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_lintian: Finally added this since linda is gone and there's only
lintian to worry about supporting. Closes: #109642, #166320, #206765
(Thanks to Steve M. Robbins for the initial implementation.)
debhelper (6.0.6) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress: Pass -n to gzip to yeild more reproducible file contents.
The time stamp information need not be contained in the .gz file since the
time stamp is preserved when compressing and decompressing. Closes: #467100
* The order of dependencies generated by debhelper has been completly random
(hash key order), so sort it. Closes: #468959
debhelper (6.0.5) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installman: Recode all man pages to utf-8 on installation.
Closes: #462937 (Colin Watson)
* Depend on a new enough version of man-db.
debhelper (6.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_strip: Improve the idempotency fix put in for #380314.
* dh_strip: The -k flag didn't work (--keep did). Fix.
* dh_shlibdeps: Add emul to exclude list.
debhelper (6.0.3) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_link: -X can be used to avoid it modifying symlinks to be compliant
with policy. Closes: #461392
* dh_shlibdeps: Rather than skipping everything in /usr/lib/debug,
which can include debug libraries that dpkg-shlibdeps should look at,
only skip the subdirectories of it that contain separate debugging
symbols. (Hardcoding the names of those directories is not the best
implementation, but it will do for now.) Closes: #461339
debhelper (6.0.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Revert slightly broken refactoring of some exclude code.
Closes: #460340, #460351
debhelper (6.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdocs/examples: Don't unnecessarily use the exclude code path.
* dh_install{,docs,examples}: Avoid infinite recursion when told to
install a directory ending with "/." (slashdot effect?) when exclusion is
enabled. Emulate the behavior of cp in this case. Closes: #253234
* dh_install: Fix #459426 here too.
debhelper (6.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_gencontrol: Stop passing -isp, it's the default now. Closes: #458114
* dh_shlibdeps: Update documentation for -L and -l. dpkg-shlibdeps is now
much smarter, and these options are almost never needed. Closes: #459226
* dh_shlibdeps: If a relative path is specified in -l, don't prepend the pwd
to it, instead just prepend a slash to make it absolute. dpkg-shlibdeps
has changed how it used LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so making it point into the
package build directory won't work.
* dh_shlibdeps: Change "-L pkg" to cause "-Sdebian/pkg" to be passed to
dpkg-shlibdeps. The old behavior of passing -L to dpkg-shlibdeps didn't
affect where it looked for symbols files. Closes: #459224
* Depend on dpkg-dev 1.14.15, the first to support dpkg-shlibdeps -S.
* dh_installdocs, dh_installexamples: Support files with spaces in exclude
mode. Closes: #459426
* debhelper v6 mode is finalised and is the new recommended compatibility
level.
debhelper (5.0.63) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdocs: Tighten doc-base document id parsing to only accept
the characters that the doc-base manual allows in the id. Closes: #445541

* Remove execute bit from desktop files in /usr/share/applications.
Closes: #452337
* Fix man page names of translated debhelper(7) man pages.
Patch from Frédéric Bothamy. Closes: 453051
* dh_makeshlibs: Use new -I flag to specify symbol files, necessary to
properly support includes. Closes: #452717
* Increase dpkg-dev dependency to 1.14.12 to ensure that dh_makeshlibs
isn't used with an old dpkg-gensymbols that doesn't support -I.
debhelper (5.0.61) unstable; urgency=low
* Man page fix re v4. Closes: #450608
* dh_makeshlibs: Support symbols files. Closes: #443978

debhelper (5.0.60) unstable; urgency=low
* Debhelper is now developed in a git repository.
* Reword paragraph about debian/compress files to perhaps be more clear
about the debian/compress file. Closes: #448759
* dh_installdirs(1): Remove unnecessary caveat about slashes.
* dh_icons: Now that GTK 2.12 has entered testing, use the much simpler to
call update-icon-caches command. Thanks, Josselin Mouette.
debhelper (5.0.59) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdeb: Add support for dpkg triggers, by installing
debian/package.triggers files.
debhelper (5.0.58) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_clean: append "/" to the temp dir name to avoid removing
a file with the same name. Closes: #445638
debhelper (5.0.57) unstable; urgency=low
* Add --ignore option. This is intended to ease dealing with upstream
tarballs that contain debian directories, by allowing debhelper config
files in those directories to be ignored, since there's generally no
good way to delete them out of the upstream tarball, and they can easily
get in the way if upstream is using debian/ differently than the Debian
maintainer.
debhelper (5.0.56) unstable; urgency=low

* dh_icons: New program to update Freedesktop icon caches. Thanks
to Josselin Mouette, Ross Burton, Jordi Mallach, and Loïc Minier.
Closes: #329460
* Note that as a transitional measure, dh_icons will currently only update
existing caches, and not create and new caches. Once everything is
updating the icon caches, this will be changed. See #329460 for the full
plan.
* Remove possibly confusing (though strictly accurate) sentence from
dh_installdirs.1. Closes: #429318

usr/X11R6/bin now points to there.
* Update urls to web page.
* Add some checks for attempts to act on packages not defined in the control

rather than parsing status directly. (Thanks Guillem)
debhelper (5.0.49) unstable; urgency=low

fall back to not registering a man page if it is not found.

debhelper (5.0.45) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
packages.
* That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
* This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
* dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
* This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
* Do script fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian
third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060
debhelper (5.0.44) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installudev: Don't fail if the link already somehow exists on initial
package install. Closes: #415717
* prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
script and then remove the python files.
* Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
* dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
/usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
* dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
buggy behavior. Closes: #242834
* dh_installman: In v6 mode, overwrite existing man pages. Closes: #288250

[ Valery Perrin ]
* Update french translation with recent change in dh_installmodules
[ Joey Hess]
* ACK last three NMUs with thanks to Raphael Hertzog for making the best of
a difficult situation.
* Revert all dh_python changes. Closes: #381389, #378604
* Conflict with python-support <= 0.5.2 and python-central <= 0.5.4.
* Make dh_python do nothing if debian/pycompat is found.
The new versions of dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral will take care of
everything dh_python used to do in this situation.
* dh_python is now deprecated. Closes: #358392, #253582, #189474
* move po4a to Build-Depends as it's run in clean.
* Add size test, which fails on any debhelper program of more than 150
lines (excluding POD). This is not a joke, and 100 lines would be better.
* Add size test exception for dh_python, since it's deprecated.
debhelper (5.0.37.3) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Update of dh_python
- when buidling for a non-standard Python version, generate more
reasonable Depends like "python (>= X.Y) | pythonX.Y"
Closes: #375576
- fix handling of private extensions. Closes: #375948
- fix parsing of XS-Python-Version, it didn't work if only fixed versions
were listed in XS-Python-Version.
- fix use of unitialized value. Closes: #374776
- fix typos in POD documentation. Closes: #375936
debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Update of dh_python
- vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
- it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
- uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
- ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
specific python version. Closes: #373853
- always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
provides.
- uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
the not too-distant future).
DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
* Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
thus made the build fail.
debhelper (5.0.37.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Integrate the new dh_python implementing the new Python policy. Closes: #370833
debhelper (5.0.37) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmodules: depmod -a is no longer run during boot, so if a module
package is installed for a kernel other than the running kernel, just
running depmod -a in the postinst is no longer sufficient. Instead, run
depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-<kvers> <kvers>
The kernel version is guessed at based on the path to the modules in the
package. Closes: #301424
* dh_installxfonts: In postrm, run the deregistraton code even on upgrade,
in case an upgrade involves moving fonts around (or removing or renaming
fonts). Closes: #372686

* Remove old alternate dependency on fileutils. Closes: #370011
* Patch from Guillem Jover to make --same-arch handling code support
the new form of architecture wildcarding which allows use of things
like "linux-any" and "any-i386" in the Architecture field. Closes: #371082
* Needs dpkg-dev 1.13.13 for dpkg-architecture -s support needed by
above, but already depends on that.
debhelper (5.0.35) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installman: When --language is used, be smarter about stripping
language codes from man page filenames. Only strip things that look like
codes that match the specified languages. Closes: #366645
* dh_installxfonts: /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7 is deprecated, back to looking in
old location, and not passing --x11r7-layout to update-fonts-alias and
update-fonts-scale (but still to update-fonts-dir). Closes: #366234

* Change build-depends for po4a. New version (0.24.1).
* Add code for removing empty "lang" directories into man/ when cleaning.
[ Joey Hess ]
* dh_installxfonts: pass --x11r7-layout to update-fonts-* commands to ensure
they use the right new directory. Closes: #362820
* dh_installxfonts: also, alias files have moved from /etc/X11/fonts/* to
/etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/*, update call to update-fonts-alias and the man page
accordingly; packages containing alias files will need to switch to the
new directory on their own.
* dh_installudev: correct documentation for --name. Closes: #363028
* Fix broken directory removal code.
debhelper (5.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
* Convert the "I have no packages to build" error into a warning. Am I
really the first person to run into the case of a source package that
builds an arch all package and an single-arch package? In this case,
the binary-arch target needs to use -s and do nothing when run on some
other arch, and debhelper will now support this.
debhelper (5.0.29) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installxfonts: Random hack to deal with X font dirs moving to
/usr/share/fonts/X11/ -- look there for fonts as well as in the old
location, although the old location probably won't be seen by X anymore.
* dh_installxfonts: Generate misc:Depends on new xfonts-utils.
* dh_compress: compress pcm fonts under usr/share/fonts/X11/

version. Closes: #350607
* dh_installdebconf: drop all support for old-style translated debconf
templates files via debconf-mergetemplate (keep a warning if any are
found, for now). Allows dropping debhelper's dependency on
debconf-utils. Closes: #331796

language guessing. Closes: #193221
debhelper (5.0.18) unstable; urgency=low
* Improved po4a cleaning. Closes: #348521
* Reverted change in 4.1.9, so generation of EXCLUDE_FIND escapes "." to
"\\.", which turns into "\." after being run through the shell, and
prevents find from treating -X.svn as a regexp that matches files such
as foo/svn.vim. (It's safe to do this now that all uses of EXCLUDE_FIND are
via complex_doit(), which was not the case of dh_clean when this change
was originally made.) Closes: #349070
debhelper (5.0.17) unstable; urgency=low

python-support for packages providing private modules or python-only
modules, since python policy hasn't been updated for this yet.

* Fix ghastly option parsing error in last release that broke
--noscripts (-n was ok). Thanks, Marc Haber. Closes: #347577
debhelper (5.0.14) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installinit: If run with -o, do the inverse of -n and only
set up maintainer script snippets, w/o installing any files.
Useful for those edge cases where the init script is provided by upstream
and not easily installed by dh_installinit but where it's worth letting
it manage the maintainer scripts anyway. Closes: #140881, #184980
* -o might be added for other similar commands later if there is any
reason to. And yeah, it means that -no is close to a no-op..

* debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatibility
level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

debhelper (4.2.4) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdocs: ignore .EX files as produced by dh-make.
* dh_movefiles: if the file cannot be found, do not go ahead and try
to move it anyway, as this can produce unpredictable behavor with globs
passed in from the shell. See bug #234105
debhelper (4.2.3) unstable; urgency=low

etc. Patch from Yann Dirson. Closes: #233226
debhelper (4.2.2) unstable; urgency=low

but occasionally right and necessary.
debhelper (4.2.1) unstable; urgency=low

* dh_scrollkeeper: patch from Christian Marillat Closes: #231703
- Remove DTD changes since docbook-xml not supports xml catalogs.
- Bump scrollkeeper dep to 0.3.14-5.

Policy is unclear/wrong. Closes: #231937

postinst scripts for udebs.
* dh_installdebconf: skip config script for udebs, still do templates
debhelper (4.1.90) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_strip: Add note to man page that the detached debugging symbols options
mean the package must build-depend on a new enough version of binutils.
Closes: #231382

"| debconf-2.0". Closes: #230622

debhelper (4.1.81) unstable; urgency=low
* Removed the no upstream changelog for debian packages test.
Even though it has personally saved me many times, debhelper is not
intended to check packages for mistakes, and apparently it makes sense
for some "native" packages to have a non-Debian changelog.
Closes: #216099
* If a native package has an upstream changelog, call the debian/changelog
changelog.Debian.
* postinst-menu-method: always chmod menu-method executable even if
update-menus is not. Closes: #220576

dh_installogrotate: add --name= option, that can be used to specify
the name to use for the file(s) installed by these commands. For example,

etc/cron.daily/foo. Closes: #138202, #101003, #68545, #148844

deal with half-built trees built with debhelper << 3.0.30
debhelper (4.1.51) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installchangelogs: Install debian/NEWS as NEWS.Debian, even for native
packages. This doesn't follow the lead of the changelog for native

debhelper (4.1.33) unstable; urgency=low
* wiggy didn't take my hint about making update-modules send warnings to
stderr, so its overly verbose stdout is now directed to /dev/null to
prevent conflicts with debconf. Closes: #150804

undocumented.7 links anymore.
debhelper (4.1.29) unstable; urgency=low

* Cleaned up error message if python is not installed. Closes: #173524

indep python package depending on a arch dependent package. However, I
used GetPackages() rather than add yet another control file parser.
Untested.
debhelper (4.1.28) unstable; urgency=low

files from installation.
debhelper (4.1.27) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed dh_python ordering in example rules files. Closes: #172283

for packages that include python modules but do not depend on python.

debhelper (4.1.21) unstable; urgency=low
* Make dh_install --list-missing honor -X excludes. Closes: #168739
* As a special case, if --sourcedir is not set (so is "."), make
--list-missing look only at what is in debian/tmp. This is gross, but
people have come to depend on that behavior, and that combination has no
other sane meaning. Closes: #168751
debhelper (4.1.20) unstable; urgency=low

Closes: #163534
debhelper (4.1.15) unstable; urgency=low

and since they are generally small, and since this matches existing
practice. Closes: #163303

Closes: #163128
debhelper (4.1.12) unstable; urgency=low
* The "reverse hangover" release.

Closes: #162493
* dh_strip: detect and don't strip debug/*.so files.
* Note that 4.1.11 changelog entry was incorrect, dh_perl worked fine
without that change, but the new behavior is less likely to break things
if dpkg-gencontrol changes.
* Various improvements to debhelper(1).
debhelper (4.1.11) unstable; urgency=low
* Make addsubstvars remove old instances of line before adding new. This
will make dh_perl get deps right for packages that have perl modules and
XS in them.
debhelper (4.1.10) unstable; urgency=low
* Depend on coreutils | fileutils. Closes: #161452
debhelper (4.1.9) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed over-escaping of period when generating EXCLUDE_FIND.
Closes: #159155
debhelper (4.1.8) unstable; urgency=low
* Use invoke-rc.d always now that it is in policy. Fall back to old behavior
if invoke-rc.d is not present, so versioned deps on sysvinit are not
needed.
debhelper (4.1.7) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_builddeb(1): It's --filename, not --name. Closes: #160151
debhelper (4.1.6) unstable; urgency=low

debhelper (4.1.5) unstable; urgency=low

* Patch from Andrew Suffield to make dh_perl understand #!/usr/bin/env perl
Closes: #156243
debhelper (4.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installinit: Always start daemon on upgraded even if
--no-restart-on-upgrade is given; since the daemon is not stopped
with that parameter starting it again is a no-op, unless the daemon was
not running for some reason. This makes transtions to using the flag
easier. Closes: #90976 and sorry it took me so long to verify you were
right.
debhelper (4.1.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Typo, Closes: #155323
debhelper (4.1.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Added a -L flag to dh_shlibdeps that is a nice alternative to providing a
shlibs.local.
debhelper (4.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
* Remove /usr/doc manglement code from postinst and prerm.
Do not use this verion of debhelper for woody backports!
* Removed dh_installxaw.
debhelper (4.0.19) unstable; urgency=low
* Make dh_installchangelogs install debian/NEWS files as well, as
NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is to make
these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian changelog, but
only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new
news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it will reduce the
abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel for details.
debhelper (4.0.18) unstable; urgency=low
* Removed a seemingly useless -dDepends in dh_shlibdeps's call to
dpkg-shalibdeps; this allows for stuff like dh_shlibdeps -- -dRecommends
Closes: #152117
* Added a --list-missing parameter to dh_install, which calc may find
useful.
debhelper (4.0.17) unstable; urgency=low
* In dh_install, don't limit to -type f when doing the find due to -X.
This makes it properly install syml8inks, cf my rpm bug.
debhelper (4.0.16) unstable; urgency=low
* Patch from doogie to make dh_movefiles support -X. Closes: #150978
* Pound home in dh_installman's man page that yet, it really does do the
right thing. Closes: #150644
debhelper (4.0.15) unstable; urgency=low
* Stupid, evil typo.
* Fixed the tests clint didn't show me.
debhelper (4.0.14) unstable; urgency=low
* In script fragments, use more posix tests, no -a or -o, no parens.
Closes: #150403
debhelper (4.0.13) unstable; urgency=low
* Added --mainpackage= option, of use in some kernel modules packages.
* dh_gencontrol only needs to pass -p to dpkg-gencontrol if there is more
than one package in debian/control. This makes it a bit more flexible in
some cases.
debhelper (4.0.12) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed debconf-utils dependency.
debhelper (4.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress: always compress .pcf files in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/{100dpi,75dpi,misc}, as is required by policy.
debhelper (4.0.10) unstable; urgency=low
* Consistently use the which command instead of command -v or hardcoded
paths in autoscripts. Neither is in posix, but which is in debianutils, so
will always be available. command -v is not available in zsh.
Closes: #148172
debhelper (4.0.9) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_install: glob relative to --sourcedir. Closes: #147908
* Documented what globbing is allowed.
debhelper (4.0.8) unstable; urgency=low
* Don't leak regex characters from -X when generating DH_EXCLUDE_FIND.
debhelper (4.0.7) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_strip: If a file is an ELF shared binary, does not have a .so.* in its
name, stirp it as a ELF binary. It seems that GNUstep has files of this
sort. See bug #35733 (not sufficient to close all of it).
debhelper (4.0.6) unstable; urgency=low
* Make dh_clean remove autom4te.cache.
debhelper (4.0.5) unstable; urgency=low
* Removing perl warning message.
debhelper (4.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
* Set DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=CVS and debhelper will exclude CVS directories
from processing by any command that takes a -X option, and dh_builddeb
will also go in and rm -rf any that still sneak into the build tree.
* dh_install: A patch from Eric Dorland <email address hidden> adds support for
--sourcedir, which allows debian/package.files files to be moved over to
debian/package.install, and just work. Closes: #146847
* dh_movefiles: don't do file tests in no-act mode. Closes: #144573
* dh_installdebconf: pass --drop-old-templates to debconf-mergetemplate.
Means debhelper has to depend on debconf-utils 1.1.1.
debhelper (4.0.3) unstable; urgency=low
* Corrects misbuild with CVS dirs in deb. Closes: #146576
debhelper (4.0.2) unstable; urgency=low

debhelper (4.0.1) unstable; urgency=low

debconf-mergetemplate.

* Forgot to export filedoublearray, Closes: #142784
debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. 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. Closes: #119039
* dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
course there's -X ..)
* dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
and corrects them. 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. Packages targeted
for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are
using.)
debhelper (3.4.14) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed an uninitialized value warning, Closes: #141729
debhelper (3.4.13) unstable; urgency=low
* Typo, Closes: #139176
* Fixed dh_md5sums conffile excluding/including.
debhelper (3.4.12) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix to #99169 was accidentually reverted in 3.0.42; reinstated.
debhelper (3.4.11) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed dh_installdocs and dh_installexamples to support multiple -X's.
debhelper (3.4.10) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed dh_movefiles. Closes: #135479, #135459
debhelper (3.4.9) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: Allow for deeper --sourcedir. Closes: #131363
debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
* Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <email address hidden>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
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: #40649
* Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well.
* dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890
debhelper (3.4.7) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_perl: don't gripe if there is no substvar file. Closes: #133140
debhelper (3.4.6) unstable; urgency=low
* Typo, Closes: #132454
* Ignore leading/trailing whitespace in DH_OPTIONS, Closes: #132645
debhelper (3.4.5) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installxfonts: separate multiple commands with \n so sed doesn't get
upset. Closes: #131322
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
<email address hidden>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
Closes: #76352
* Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.
debhelper (3.4.3) unstable; urgency=low
* Improved dh_installxfonts some more:
- Better indenting of generated code.
- Better ordering of generated code (minor fix).
debhelper (3.4.2) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205
* dh_installxfonts:
- Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page.
- However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. 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.
debhelper (3.4.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed programmer's documentation of DOINDEP and DOARCH, Closes: #128546
* Fixed dh_builddeb SYNOPSIS, Closes: #128548
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. Currently used
by: 3 packages (bugs filed).
* Added referneces to menufile in dh_installmenu man page. Closes: #127978
(dh_make is not a part of debhelper, if you want it changed, file a bug on
dh-make.)
debhelper (3.0.54) unstable; urgency=low
* Added a version to the perl build dep, Closes: #126677
debhelper (3.0.53) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_strip: run file using a safe pipe open, that will not expose any weird
characters in filenames to a shell. Closes: #126491
* fixed dh_testdir man page
debhelper (3.0.52) unstable; urgency=low
* Typo, Closes: #122679
* Export dirname from Dh_Lib, and related cleanup, Closes: #125770
* Document dirname, basename in PROGRAMMING
debhelper (3.0.51) unstable; urgency=low
* Man page cleanups, Closes: #119335
debhelper (3.0.50) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_undocumented: check for existing uncompressed man pages. Closes: #87972
* Optimized dh_installdeb conffile finding. Closes: #119035
* dh_installdeb: changed the #!/bin/sh -e to set -e on a new line. Whether
this additional bloat is worth it to make it easier for people to sh -x
a script by hand is debatable either way, I guess. Closes: #119046
* Added a check for duplicated package stanzas in debian/control,
Closes: #118805
debhelper (3.0.49) unstable; urgency=low
* More informative error, Closes: #118767
debhelper (3.0.48) unstable; urgency=low
* Added .zip and .jar to list of things to compress (Closes: #115735),
and modified docs (Closes: #115733).
debhelper (3.0.47) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installman: documented translated man page support, and made it work
properly. It was not stripping the language part from the installed
filenames.
debhelper (3.0.46) unstable; urgency=low
* Typo, Closes: #114135
debhelper (3.0.45) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installxfonts: Do not specify /usr/sbin/ paths; that should be in
the path and dpkg enforces it. Closes: #112385
debhelper (3.0.44) unstable; urgency=low
* Added dh_strip to rules.multi2, and removed .TODO.swp. Closes: #110418
debhelper (3.0.43) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_perl: made it use doit commands so -v mode works. Yeah, uglier.
Closes: #92826
Also some indentation fixes.
debhelper (3.0.42) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: Typo, Closes: #106532
* Use -x to test for existance of init scripts, rather then -e since
we'll be running them, Closes: #109692
* dh_clean: remove debian/*.debhelper. No need to name files
specifically; any file matching that is a debhelper temp file.
Closes: #106514, #85520
debhelper (3.0.40) unstable; urgency=low
* Typo, Closes: #104405
debhelper (3.0.39) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress: Don't compress .bz2 files, Closes: #102935
debhelper (3.0.38) unstable; urgency=low

debhelper (3.0.37) unstable; urgency=low

debhelper (3.0.36) unstable; urgency=low
* Whoops, I forgot to revert dh_perl too. Closes: #101477
debhelper (3.0.35) unstable; urgency=low
* Revert change of 3.0.30. This broke too much stuff. Maybe I'll
change it in debhelper v4..
debhelper (3.0.34) unstable; urgency=low
* Unimportant spelling fix. Closes: #100666
debhelper (3.0.33) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_gencontrol: Work around very strange hurd semantics
which allow "" to be an empty file. Closes: #100542
debhelper (3.0.32) unstable; urgency=low
* Check that update-modules is present before running it, since modutils
is not essential. Closes: #100430
debhelper (3.0.31) unstable; urgency=low
* Remove dh_testversion from example rules file, Closes: #99901
debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars
data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
(Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
* I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
debhelper workings. 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. If you do use it, don't
be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!
(debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
prefixed with ".debhelper")
debhelper (3.0.29) unstable; urgency=low
* Added -X flag to dh_makeshlibs, for packages with wacky plugins that
look just like shared libs, but are not.
debhelper (3.0.28) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_clean: clean up temp files used by earlier versons of debhelper.
Closes: #99169
debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
of options after --. 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. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
something complex. Closes: #89311
* Made escape_shell output a lot better.
debhelper (3.0.26) unstable; urgency=low
* Always include package name in maintainer script fragment filenames
and generated shlibs files (except for in DH_COMPAT=1 mode). This is a
purely cosmetic change, and if it breaks anything, you were using an
undocumented interface. Closes: #95387
debhelper (3.0.25) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_makeshlins: append to LD_LIBRARY_PATH at start, not each time
through loop. Closes: #98598
debhelper (3.0.24) unstable; urgency=low
* Missing semi-colon.
* Call dh_shlibdeps as part of build process, as simple guard against
this (dh_* should be called, really).
debhelper (3.0.23) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_shlibdeps: the -l switch now just adds to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if it is
already set. Newer fakeroots set it, and clobbering their settings
breaks things since they LD_PRELOAD a library that is specified in the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. (blah) Closes: #97494
debhelper (3.0.22) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installinfo: doc enchancement, Closes: #97515
* dh_md5sums: don't fail if pwd has spaces in it (must be scraping the
bottom of the bug barrel here). Closes: #97404
debhelper (3.0.21) unstable; urgency=low
* Corrected bashism (echo -e, DAMNIT), in rules file that resulted in a
corrupted Dh_Version.pm. Closes: #97236
debhelper (3.0.20) unstable; urgency=low
* Modified the postrm fragment for dh_installxfonts to not try to delete
any files. The responsibility for doing so devolves onto update-fonts-*
(which don't yet, but will). See bug #94752
debhelper (3.0.19) unstable; urgency=low
* Now uses html2text rather than lynx for converting html changelogs.
The program generates better results, and won't annoy the people who
were oddly annoyed at having to install lynx. Instead, it will annoy a
whole other set of people, I'm sure. Closes: #93747
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.
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.
debhelper (3.0.16) unstable; urgency=low
* Documented -isp, Closes: #93983
debhelper (3.0.15) unstable; urgency=low
* Typo, Closes: #92407
debhelper (3.0.14) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_strip: ensure that the file _ends_ with `.a'. Closes: #90647
debhelper (3.0.13) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_makeshlibs: more support for nasty soname formats, Closes: #90520
debhelper (3.0.12) unstable; urgency=low
* Applied a patch from Anton Zinoviev <email address hidden> to pass -e
to mkfontdir. Closes: #89418
debhelper (3.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_makeshlibs: don't follow links to .so files. Instead, we will look
for *.so* files. 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
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
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. Closes:
#88426
* Wildcards have been supported for a while, Closes: #54197
* dh_installdocs and dh_link have been able to make doc-dir symlinks for
a while, Closes: #51225
debhelper (3.0.8) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_perl update
debhelper (3.0.7) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_makeshlibs: only generate call to ldconfig if it really looks like
a given *.so* file is indeed a shared library.
debhelper (3.0.6) unstable; urgency=low
* Corrected some uninitialized value stuff in dh_suidregister (actually
quite a bad bug).
* dh_installman: fixed variable socoping error, so file conversions
should work now.
debhelper (3.0.5) unstable; urgency=low
* Updated dh_perl to a new version for the new perl organization and
policy. 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.
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.
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 extension. 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..
debhelper (2.2.21) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed a stupid typo in dh_suidregister, Closes: #85110
debhelper (2.2.20) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installinit -r: stop init script in prerm on package removal,
Closes: #84974
debhelper (2.2.19) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_shlibdeps -l can handle relative paths now. Patch from Colin Watson
<email address hidden>, Closes: #84408
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.
debhelper (2.2.17) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_installdebconf: marge in templates with a .ll_LL extension,
they were previously ignored.
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.
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.
debhelper (2.2.14) unstable; urgency=medium
* Corrected globbing issue with dh_movefiles in v3 mode. Closes: #81431
debhelper (2.2.13) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fixed a man page typo, Closes: #82371:
* Added note to dh_strip man page, Closes: #82220
debhelper (2.2.12) unstable; urgency=medium
* suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. 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.
debhelper (2.2.11) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fixed dh_installwm. Oops. Closes: #81124
debhelper (2.2.10) unstable; urgency=low

debhelper (2.2.9) unstable; urgency=low

debhelper (2.2.8) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_installwm: Moved update-alternatives --remove call to prerm,
Closes: #80209
* ALso guarded all update-alternatives --remove calls.
debhelper (2.2.7) unstable; urgency=low
* Spelling patch.
debhelper (2.2.6) unstable; urgency=low

debhelper (2.2.5) unstable; urgency=low
* Oops, it was not expanding wildcard when it should.
debhelper (2.2.4) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: added error message on file not found
debhelper (2.2.3) unstable; urgency=low
* If DH_COMPAT=3 is set, the following happens:
- Various debian/foo files like debian/docs, debian/examples, etc,
begin to support filename globbing. use \* to escape the wildcards of
course. 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: #34120, #37694, #39846, #46249
debhelper (2.2.2) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_makeshlibs: corrected the evil db3-regex so it doesn't misfire on
data like "debian/libruby/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/i486-linux/etc.so".
Closes: #78139
debhelper (2.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Reverted the change to make debian/README be treated as README.Debian,
after I learned people use it for eg, documenting the source package
itself. Closes: #34628, since it seems this is not such an "incredibly
minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
backwards-compatibility.
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 <email address hidden> (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.
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. But you'll be sorry...
Closes: #77604
debhelper (2.1.27) unstable; urgency=low
* Typo, Closes: #77441
debhelper (2.1.26) unstable; urgency=low
* Completed the fix from the last version.
debhelper (2.1.25) unstable; urgency=low
* Ok, I tihnk we have a db3 fix that will really work now.
debhelper (2.1.24) unstable; urgency=low
* I retract 2.1.23, the hack doesn't help make dpkg-shlibdeps work; db3
is broken upstream.
debhelper (2.1.23) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
but only if they are files. 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.
debhelper (2.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed dh_perl to work with perl 5.6, Closes: #76508
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.
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.
debhelper (2.1.19) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_builddeb: Ok, it is cosmetic, but it annoyed me.
debhelper (2.1.18) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_builddeb: added a --filename option to specify the output filename.
This is intended to be used when building .udebs for the debian
installer.
debhelper (2.1.17) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles.1: well I thought it was quite obvious why it always used
debian/tmp, but it's a faq. Added some explanation. By the way, since
there now exists a documented way to use dh_movefiles that does not
have problems with empty directories that get left behind and so on, I
think this Closes: #17111, #51985
debhelper (2.1.16) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: fixed a regexp quoting problem with --sourcedir.
Closes: #75434
* Whoops, I think I overwrote bod's NMU with 2.2.15. Let's merge those
in:
.
debhelper (2.1.14-0.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Non-maintainer upload (thanks Joey).
* dh_installchangelogs, dh_installdocs: allow dangling symlinks for
$TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE (useful for multi-binary packages).
Closes: #53381

.
I also added some documentation to debhelper.1 about this, and removed
the TODO entry about it.
debhelper (2.1.15) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installwm: patched a path in some backwards compatibility code.
Closes: #75283
debhelper (2.1.14) unstable; urgency=low
* Rats, the previous change makes duplicate lines be created in the
shlibs file, and lintian conplains. Added some hackery that should
prevent that. Closes: #73052
debhelper (2.1.13) unstable; urgency=low
* Typo, Closes: #72932
* dh_makeshlibs: follow symlinks to files when looking for files that are
shared libraries. This allows it to catch files like
"liballeg-3.9.33.so" that are not in the *.so.* form it looks for, but
that doe have links to them that are in the right form. Closes: #72938
debhelper (2.1.12) unstable; urgency=low
* Rebuild to remove cvs junk, Closes: #72610
debhelper (2.1.11) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmanpages: don't install files that start with .#* -- these
are CVS files..
debhelper (2.1.10) unstable; urgency=low
* Modified to allow no spaces between control file field name and value
(this appears to be logal).
debhelper (2.1.9) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmodules: corrected the code added to maintainer scripts so it
does not call depmod -a. update-modules (which it always called)_
handles calling depmod if doing so is appropriate. Packages built with
proir versions probably have issues on systems with non-modular
kernels, and should be rebuilt. Closes: #71841
debhelper (2.1.8) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed a stupid typo. Closes: #69750
debhelper (2.1.7) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/package.filename.arch is now checked for first, before
debian/package.filename. Closes: #69453
* Added a section to debhelper(1) about files in debian/ used by
debhelper, which documents this. Removed scattered references to
debian/filename from all over the man pages.
debhelper (2.1.6) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_strip: now knows about the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip thing.
debhelper (2.1.5) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installxfonts: corrected a problem during package removal that was
silently neglecting to remove the fonts.dir/alias files.
debhelper (2.1.4) unstable; urgency=low
* Whoops, I forgot to add v3 to cvs, so it was missing from a few
versions.
debhelper (2.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_shlibdeps: if it sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it now prints out a line
showing it is doing that when in verbose mode.
* examples/rules.multi: don't use DH_OPTIONS hack. It's too confusing.
rules.multi2 still uses it, but it has comments explaining the caveats
of the hack.
debhelper (2.1.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Minor man page updates as Overfiend struggles with debhelperizing X
4.0.
debhelper (2.1.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Never refer to root, always uid/gid "0". Closes: #67508
debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
* I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatibility. 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/<package> 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).
debhelper (2.0.104) unstable; urgency=low
* Put dh_installogrotate in the examples, Closes: #66986
debhelper (2.0.103) unstable; urgency=low
* Added dh_installlogrotate. Yuck, 3 l's, but I want to folow my
standard..
debhelper (2.0.102) unstable; urgency=low
* Documented the full list of extra files dh_clean deletes, since people
are for some reason adverse to using -v to find it. Closes: #66883
debhelper (2.0.101) unstable; urgency=low
* Killed the fixlinks stuff, since there are no longer any symlinks in
the source package.
debhelper (2.0.100) unstable; urgency=low
* Modified all postinst script fragments to only run when called with
"configure". I looked at the other possibilities, and I don't think any
of the supported stuff should be called if the postist is called for
error unwinds. Closes: #66673
* Implemented dh_clean -X, to allow specification of files to not delete,
Closes: #66670
debhelper (2.0.99) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmodules will now install modiles even if etc/modutils already
exists (wasn't because of a logic error). Closes: #66289
* dh_movefiles now uses debian/movelist, rather than just movelist. This
is to fix an unlikely edge case involving a symlinked debian directory.
Closes: #66278
debhelper (2.0.98) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdebconf: Automatically merge localized template
files. If you use this feature, you should build-depend on
debconf-utils to get debconf-mergetemplate.
debhelper (2.0.97) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installinfo: changed test to see if an info file is the head file to
just skip files that end in -\d+.
debhelper (2.0.96) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmodules: still add depmod -a calls if run on a package that
has no debian/modules file, but does contain modules.
debhelper (2.0.95) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixes for perl 5.6.
* Spelling fixes.
debhelper (2.0.94) unstable; urgency=low
* examples/rules.multi2: binary-indep and binary-arch targets need to
depend on the build and install targets.
debhelper (2.0.93) unstable; urgency=low
* Patch from Pedro Guerreiro to make install-docs only be called on
configure and remove/upgrade. Closes: #62513
debhelper (2.0.92) unstable; urgency=low
* Detect changelog parse failures and use a better error message.
Closes: #62058
debhelper (2.0.91) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed a silly typo in dh_installmanpages, Closes: #60727
debhelper (2.0.90) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed dh_testversion; broken in last release.
debhelper (2.0.89) unstable; urgency=low
* Patch from Jorgen `forcer' Schaefer <forcer at mindless.com> (much
modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
update-alternatives. 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/<package>.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 believe 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.
debhelper (2.0.88) unstable; urgency=low
* Copyright update: files in the examples directory are public domain.
debhelper (2.0.87) unstable; urgency=low
* Documented that lynx is used to convert html changelogs. Closes: #54055
debhelper (2.0.86) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_testroot: don't call init(), so it may be run even if it's not in the
right place. Closes: #55065
debhelper (2.0.85) unstable; urgency=low
* Downgraded fileutils dependancy just a bit for the Hurd foks.
Closes: #54620
debhelper (2.0.84) unstable; urgency=low
* Make all examples rules files executable.
* Copyright date updates.
debhelper (2.0.83) unstable; urgency=low
* Depend on the current unstable fileutils, because I have to use chown
--no-dereference. I'm not sure when it started working, but it didn't work
in slink.
debhelper (2.0.82) unstable; urgency=low
* Added dh_installmime calls to examples, Closes: #54056
debhelper (2.0.81) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installxaw: Patch from Josip Rodin to update to fhs paths,
Closes: #53029
debhelper (2.0.80) unstable; urgency=low
* Type fix, Closes: #52652
debhelper (2.0.79) unstable; urgency=low
* Corrected mispellings, Closes: #52013
debhelper (2.0.78) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_fixperms: chown symlinks as well as normal files. Closes: #51169.
debhelper (2.0.77) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
files that need to be registered. 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.
debhelper (2.0.76) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmanpages:
- Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
<email address hidden>. 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.
Fear makechangelog.
debhelper (2.0.75) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed typo in dh_installmenu.1, Closes: #51332
debhelper (2.0.74) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to
act on files that don't exist.
* dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
(Closes: #51099)
* Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.
debhelper (2.0.73) unstable; urgency=low
* Actually, debhelper build-depends on perl-5.005.
debhelper (2.0.72) unstable; urgency=low
* Corrected slash substitution problem in dh_installwm.
debhelper (2.0.71) unstable; urgency=low
* Oh, the build dependancies include all of debhelper's regular
dependancies as well, since it builds using itself.
debhelper (2.0.70) unstable; urgency=low
* Added build dependancies to this package. 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.
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: #41733
* Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case
insensitively.
* dh_movefiles: force owner and group of installed files to be root.
Closes: #46039
* Closes: #42650, #47175 -- they've been fixed forever.
debhelper (2.0.68) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installxfonts: Patch from Anthony Wong to fix directory searching.
Closes: #48931
debhelper (2.0.67) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdebconf: Modified to use new confmodule debconf library.
debhelper (2.0.66) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed some problems with dh_installxfonts font dirs.
debhelper (2.0.65) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_builddeb: -u can be passed to this command now, followed by
any extra parameters you want to pass to dpkg-deb (Closes: #48394)
debhelper (2.0.64) unstable; urgency=low
* Corrected a path name in dh_installxfonts. Closes: #48315
debhelper (2.0.63) unstable; urgency=low
* Removed install-stamp cruft in all example rules files. Closes: #47175
debhelper (2.0.62) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed problem with dh_installemacsen options not working, patch from
Rafael Laboissiere <email address hidden>, Closes: #47738
* Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
<email address hidden>. 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
debhelper (2.0.61) unstable; urgency=low
* Clarified rules.multi2 comment. Closes: #46828
debhelper (2.0.60) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress: After compressing an executable, changes the file mode to
644. Executable .gz files are silly. Closes: #46383
debhelper (2.0.59) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink,
leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing
and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package.
(Closes: #46183)
debhelper (2.0.58) unstable; urgency=low
* Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in xargs() that made boundry words be skipped.
debhelper (2.0.57) unstable; urgency=low
* Added note to man pages of commands that use autoscript to note they are
not idempotent.
debhelper (2.0.56) unstable; urgency=low
* Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if
you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make
run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work,
though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
* examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*
target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the
maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313
debhelper (2.0.55) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed quoting problem in examples/rules.multi (Closes: #46254)
debhelper (2.0.54) unstable; urgency=low
* Enhanced debconf support -- the database is now cleaned up on package
purge.
* Broke all debconf support off into a dh_installdebconf script. This
seems conceptually a little cleaner.
debhelper (2.0.53) unstable; urgency=low
* Minor changes to rules.multi2.
debhelper (2.0.52) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: if the wildcards in the filelist expand to nothing,
don't do anything, rather than crashing.
debhelper (2.0.51) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdocs: create the compatibility symlink before calling
install-docs. I'm told this is better in some cases. (Closes: #45608)
* examples/rules.multi2: clarified what you have to comment/uncomment.
debhelper (2.0.50) unstable; urgency=medium
* Oops. Fixed dh_shlibdeps so it actually generates dependancies, broke in
last version.
debhelper (2.0.49) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_shlibdeps: detect statically linked binaries and don't pass them to
dpkg-shlibdeps.
* dh_installdeb: debconf support.
debhelper (2.0.48) unstable; urgency=low
* 4 whole days without a debhelper upload! Can't let that happen. Let's see..
* dh_installperl.1: explain what you have to put in your control file
for the dependancies to be generated.
debhelper (2.0.47) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_undocumented: installs links for X11 man pages to the undocumented.7
page in /usr/share/man. (Closes: #44909)
debhelper (2.0.46) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installemacsen: the script fragments it generates now test for the
existance of emacs-package-install/remove before calling them. Though
a strict reading of the emacsen policy indicates that such a test
shouldn't be needed, there may be edge cases (cf bug 44924), where it
is.
debhelper (2.0.45) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdocs.1: clarified how the doc-id is determined. Closes: #44864
* dh_makeshlibs: will now overwrite existing debian/tmp/DEBIAN/shlibs
files, instead of erroring out. (Closes: #44828)
debhelper (2.0.44) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress: fixed #ARGV bug (again) Closes: #44853
debhelper (2.0.43) unstable; urgency=low
* Corrected example rules files, which had some messed up targets.
debhelper (2.0.42) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installinfo: failed pretty miserably if the info file's section
contained '/' characters. Doesn't now.
debhelper (2.0.41) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installinfo: use FHS info dir. I wonder how I missed that..
debhelper (2.0.40) unstable; urgency=low
* FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram <email address hidden>.
For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution,
dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though.
* Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732.
* dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in
http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatibility symlink to
/usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
/usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
* Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to
modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.
debhelper (2.0.30) unstable; urgency=low
* It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to
a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command
anymore.
* debhelper.1: mentioned above technique.
* examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's.
* examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that
works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows
building of single binary packages independntly, via binary-<package>
targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
commands.
* examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2
years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore.
debhelper (2.0.29) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_shlibdeps: Fixed quoting problem that made it fail on weird file names.
Patch from Devin Carraway <email address hidden>, Closes: #44016
debhelper (2.0.28) unstable; urgency=low
* Oops, dh_installpam was omitted from the package. Added back.
Closes: #43652
debhelper (2.0.27) unstable; urgency=low
* No user visible changes. Modified the package to interface better with
my new local build system, which auto-updates the home page when a new
debhelper is built.
debhelper (2.0.25) unstable; urgency=low
* Corrected debian/fixlinks to make the correct debian/* symlinks needed
for building debhelper.
* Fixed rules file to create and populate examples and docs dirs. Oops.
debhelper (2.0.24) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdocs: Handle trailing whitespace after Document: name.
Closes: #43148.
debhelper (2.0.23) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed makefile commit target.
* Misc changes to make CVS dirs not be copies into package.
debhelper (2.0.22) unstable; urgency=low
* Checked all of debhelper into CVS.
* Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now)
* Skip CVS dir when running tests.
* Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script.
Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are
missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so
it's always available.
debhelper (2.0.21) unstable; urgency=low
* Wow. It turns out dh_installdocs has been doing it wrong and doc-base
files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from
Peter Moulder <email address hidden> to make it use those id's instead
of coming up with it's own. (Closes: #42650)
debhelper (2.0.20) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_perl: Patch from Raphael Hertzog <email address hidden> to allow
specification on the command line of alternate paths to search for perl
modules. (Closes: #42171)
debhelper (2.0.19) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installinfo: fixed bug if a info file had no section.
debhelper (2.0.18) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installxaw: fixed multiple stanza problem, for real this time (patch
misapplied last time). (Closes: #41862)
debhelper (2.0.17) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_clean: compat() wasn't exported.
debhelper (2.0.16) unstable; urgency=low
* Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f,
not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named,
say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. I don't anticipate this
ever happenning, but it pays to be safe.
debhelper (2.0.15) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_clean: only force-remove debian/tmp if in v2 mode. In v1 mode, we
shouldn't remove it because we may only be acting on a single package.
(Closes: #41689)
debhelper (2.0.14) unstable; urgency=low
* Moved /usr/lib/debhelper to /usr/share/debhelper for FHS compliance
(#41174). If you used Dh_lib or something in another package, be sure to
update your "use" line and declare an appropriate dependancy. (Closes:
#41174)
* dh_installxaw: Patch from Josip Rodin <email address hidden> to fix
multiple-stanza xaw file support. (Closes: #41173)
debhelper (2.0.13) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_fixperms: FHS fixes (#41058)
debhelper (2.0.12) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installinfo: fixed #SECTION# substitution.
debhelper (2.0.11) unstable; urgency=low
* At long, long last, dh_installinfo is written. It takes a simple list of
info files and figures out the rest for you. (Closes: #15717)
debhelper (2.0.10) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626)
* dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz,
because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable
at that name.
* dh_compress: removed the usr/share/X11R6/man bit. Note part of FHS.

* dh_compress: added some FHS support. Though debhelper doesn't put stuff
there (and won't until people come up with a general transition strategy or
decide to not have a clean transiotion), dh_compress now compresses
various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892)
debhelper (2.0.08) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_*: redirect cd output to /den/null, because CD can actually output
things if CDPATH is set.
debhelper (2.0.07) unstable; urgency=low
* Added dh_perl calls to example rules files.
debhelper (2.0.06) unstable; urgency=low
* Now depends on perl5 | perl, I'll kill the | perl bit later on, but it
seems to make sense for the transition.
debhelper (2.0.05) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_clean: clean debian/tmp even if v2 is being used. If you're
using dh_movefiles, stuff may well be left in there, and it needs to be
cleaned up.
debhelper (2.0.04) unstable; urgency=low
* Patch from Raphael Hertzog <email address hidden> to make dh_perl support a
-d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base
package. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631)
debhelper (2.0.03) unstable; urgency=low
* Depend on file >= 2.23-1, because dh_perl uses file -b, introduced at
that version. (Closes: #40589)
debhelper (2.0.02) unstable; urgency=low
* If you're going to use v2, it's reccommended you call
"dh_testversion 2". Added a note about that to doc/v2.
* Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest
supported compatibility level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps
there will be a debhelper v3 some day...
debhelper (2.0.01) unstable; urgency=low
* Actually include doc/v2 this time round.
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/<package> 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.
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
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.
debhelper (1.2.82) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <email address hidden>
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.
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.
debhelper (1.2.80) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed perl version detection.
* Changed call to find.
debhelper (1.2.79) unstable; urgency=low
* Added dh_perl by Raphael Hertzog <email address hidden>. 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.
debhelper (1.2.78) unstable; urgency=low
* Really include dh_installpam.
debhelper (1.2.77) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installpam: new program by Sean <email address hidden>
* Wrote man page for same.
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)
debhelper (1.2.75) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installemacsen: fixed perms of install, remove scripts.
(closes: #39082)
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!
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)
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).
debhelper (1.2.71) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed a typo (closes: #38881)
debhelper (1.2.70) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmanpages: Properly quoted metacharacters in $dir in regexp.
(#38263).
debhelper (1.2.69) unstable; urgency=low
* Don't include Test.pm in the binary package.
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).
debhelper (1.2.67) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmodules: fixed type that made the program not work.
debhelper (1.2.66) unstable; urgency=low
* examples/rules.multi: dh_shlibdeps must be run before dh_gencontrol
(#37346)
debhelper (1.2.65) unstable; urgency=low
* Added to docs.
debhelper (1.2.64) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmime: new command (#37093, #32684).
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.
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)
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.
debhelper (1.2.60) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installexamples.1: recycled docs fix.
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.
debhelper (1.2.58) unstable; urgency=low
* autoscripts/postinst-suid: use /#FILE# in elif test (#36297).
debhelper (1.2.57) unstable; urgency=low
* examples/*: killed trailing spaces after diff: target
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)
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).
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.
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.
debhelper (1.2.52) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmodules: new program, closes #32546.
debhelper (1.2.51) unstable; urgency=low
* Another very minor typo fix.
debhelper (1.2.50) unstable; urgency=low
* Very minor typo fix.
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)
debhelper (1.2.48) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_fixperms.1: improved documentation. (#34968)
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).
debhelper (1.2.46) unstable; urgency=low
* doc/README: pointer to maint-guide.
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).
debhelper (1.2.44) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_fixperms: has been mostly broken when used with -X, corrected this.
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.
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.
debhelper (1.2.41) unstable; urgency=low
* README: minor typo fix.
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. :-)
debhelper (1.2.39) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installcron: install files in cron.d with correct perms.
debhelper (1.2.38) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_clean: don't try to delete directories named "core".
debhelper (1.2.37) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdocs: Patch from Jim Pick <email address hidden>, fixes regexp error (Closes: #33431).
* dh_installxaw: new program by Daniel Martin
<email address hidden>, handles xaw-wrappers integration.
* dh_installxaw.1: wrote man page.
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)
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)
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/<package>.doc-base.<doc-id>.
* dh_compress: removed warning message (harmless).
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.
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.
debhelper (1.2.31) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installinit.1: minor typo fix (closes: #32753)
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.
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.
debhelper (1.2.28) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_link: fixed bug that prevent multiple links to the same source from
being made. (#23255)
debhelper (1.2.27) unstable; urgency=low
* autoscripts/*menu*: "test", not "text"!
debhelper (1.2.26) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdocs: use prerm-doc-base script fragement. Was using
postrm-doc-base, for some weird reason.
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.
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.
debhelper (1.2.23) unstable; urgency=low
* autoscripts/postrm-wm: use "=", not "==" (#31727).
debhelper (1.2.22) unstable; urgency=low
* Reversed change in last version; don't clobber mode (#31628).
debhelper (1.2.21) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.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.
debhelper (1.2.20) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress: handle the hard link stuff properly, it was broken. Also
faster now.
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.
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.
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)
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)
debhelper (1.2.15) unstable; urgency=low
* Just a re-upload, last upload failed for some obscure reason.
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.
debhelper (1.2.13) unstable; urgency=low
* Spelling and typo fixes.
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).
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!)
debhelper (1.2.10) unstable; urgency=low
* examples/*: added dh_link calls to example rules files.
debhelper (1.2.9) unstable; urgency=low
* Added dh_link, which generates policy complient symlinks in binary
packages, painlessly.
debhelper (1.2.8) unstable; urgency=low
* Suggest dh-make (#29376).
debhelper (1.2.7) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: Fixed another bug.
debhelper (1.2.6) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: fixed non-integer comparison (#29476)
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.
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..)
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.
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.
debhelper (1.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_strip, dh_installinit: rewrite in perl.
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.
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.
debhelper (1.1.23) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_clean: At the suggestion of James Troup <email address hidden> now deletes
files named *.P in .deps/ subdirectories. They are generated by automake.
debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler <email address hidden>
* Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
(as yet unreleased) xbase. 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. (#20971)
debhelper (1.1.21) unstable; urgency=low
* Added install to .PHONY target of example rules files.
debhelper (1.1.20) unstable; urgency=low
* Added a --same-arch flag, that is useful in the rare case when you have
a package that builds only for 1 architecture, as part of a multi-part,
multi-architecture source package. (Ie, netscape-dmotif).
* Modified dh_installinit -r so it does start the daemon on the initial
install (#26680).
debhelper (1.1.19) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmanpages: look at basename of man pacges specified on command
line to skip, for backwards compatibility.
debhelper (1.1.18) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installemacsen: substitute package name for #PACKAGE# when setting
up postinst and prerm (#26560).
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.
debhelper (1.1.16) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_fixperms: remove execute bits from static libraries as well as
shared libraries. (#26414)
debhelper (1.1.15) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_installmanpages: the new perl version had a nasty habit of
installing .so.x library files as man pages. Fixed.
* dh_installmanpages: the code to exclude searching for man pages in
debian/tmp directories was broken. Fixed.
debhelper (1.1.14) unstable; urgency=low
* Debhelper now has a web page at http://kitenet.net/programs/debhelper/
* Added code to debian/rules to update the web page when I release new
debhelpers.
* dh_compress: since version 0.88 or so, dh_compress has bombed out if
a debian/compress file returned an error code. 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. (#26214)
debhelper (1.1.13) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmanpages: rewritten in perl. Allows me to fix bug #26221 (long
symlink problem after .so conversion), and is about twice as fast.
debhelper (1.1.12) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdocs: forgot to pass package name to isnative(). Any native
debian package that had a debian/TODO would have it installed with the
wrong name, and debhelper would warn of undefined values for some
packages. Fixed.
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.
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.
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. Fixed.
debhelper (1.1.8) unstable; urgency=low
* Dh_Lib.pm: made U_PARAMS an array of parameters.
* Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in the escaping code, numbers don't need to be
escaped. Also, no longer escape "-".
* dh_clean, dh_gencontrol, dh_installcron: converted to perl.
* dh_gencontrol.1, dh_gencontrol: the man page had said that
--update-rcd-params was equivilant to -u for this program. You should
really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params.
debhelper (1.1.7) unstable; urgency=low
* examples/rules.multi: moved dh_movefiles into the install section.
* doc/README: Added a note explaining why above change was necessary.
* Dh_Lib.pm: escape_shell(): now escapes the full range of special
characters recognized by bash (and ksh). Thanks to Branden Robinson
<email address hidden> for looking that up.
debhelper (1.1.6) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: don't die on symlinks (#25642). (Hope I got the fix right
this time..)
debhelper (1.1.5) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_builddeb, dh_installchangelogs: converted to perl.
* dh_installdirs: converted to perl, getting rid of nasty chdir en-route.
* dh_installdirs: now you can use absolute directory names too if you
prefer.
* doc/PROGRAMMING: updated to cover new perl modules.
* Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape
metacharacters in the output. 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. Obviously
nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-)
debhelper (1.1.4) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: fixed bug introduced in 1.1.1 where it would fail in some
cases if you tried to move a broken symlink.
* dh_installdocs: was only operating on the first package.
* dh_installexamples: rewritten in perl.
* Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.
* Dh_Lib.pm: implemented complex_doit() and autoscript().
* Made all perl code work with use strict and -w (well, except
dh_getopt.pl, but that's a hack that'll go away one day).
* I didn't realize, but rewriting dh_installdocs in perl fixed bug #24686
(blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem
applies to other debhelper programs... like dh_installexamples, which had
the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.
* Dh_Lib.pm: accidentially didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not
passed any switches.
* Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken.
debhelper (1.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_md5sums: -x was broken since version 1.1.1 - fixed.
* dh_lib: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used
at all for a long while.
* Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl.
* dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting
large chunks in the process.
* dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. 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.
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.
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. Makes it easier for some packages
that don't always have the same files in them.
* dh_compress: any parameters passed to it on the command line specify
additional files to be compressed in the first package acted on.
* dh_compress: recognize standard -A parameter.
debhelper (1.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
* New unstable branch of debhelper.
* TODO: list all current bugs, in order I plan to tackle them.
* Added debhelper.1 man page, which groups all the debhelper options that
are common to all commands in once place so I can add new options w/o
updating 27 man pages.
* dh_*.1: updated all debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where
appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors.
* doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1.
* dh_*: -N option now excludes a package from the list of packages the
programs act on. (#25247)
debhelper (1.0) stable unstable; urgency=low
* 1.0 at last!
* This relelase is not really intended for stable. I throw a copy into
stable-updates because I want it to be available as an upgrade for
people using debian 2.0 (the current version in debian 2.0 has no
critical bugs, but this version is of course a lot nicer), and I plan
to start work on a new branch of debhelper that will fix many wishlist
bug reports, and of course introduce many new bugs, and which will go
into unstable only.
debhelper (0.99.4) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_debstd: only warn about scripts that actually lack #DEBHELPER#.
(#25514)
debhelper (0.99.3) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: Fixed a over-eager sanity check introduced in the last
version.
debhelper (0.99.2) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: allow passing of files to move on the command line. Only
rarely does this make sense. (#25197)
debhelper (0.99.1) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installcron: now supports /etc/cron.d (#25112).
debhelper (0.99) unstable; urgency=low
* !!!! WARNING: Debhelper (specifically dh_compress) is broken with
!!!! libtricks. Use fakeroot instead until this is fixed.
* dh_compress: applied patch from Herbert Xu <email address hidden>
to make it not fail if there are no candidates for compression (#24654).
* Removed a whole debhelper-0.96 tree that had crept into the source
package by accident.
* Is version 1.0 next?
debhelper (0.98) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_lib: isnative: pass -l<changelog> to dpkg-parsechangelog, to support
odd packages with multiple different debian changelogs.
* doc/PROGRAMMING: cleaned up the docs on DH_EXCLUDE_FIND.
debhelper (0.97) unstable; urgency=low
* doc/from-debstd: fixed a typo.
* examples/*: install-stamp no longer depends on phony build targey; now
install-stamp depends on build-stamp instead (#24234).
* dh_fixperms: applied patch from Herbert Xu <email address hidden>
to fix bad uses of the find command, so it should now work on packages
with files with spaces in them (#22005). It's also much cleaner. Thanks,
Herbert!
* dh_getopt.pl, doc/PROGRAMMING: added DH_EXCLUDE_FIND, to make the above
fix work.
debhelper (0.96) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: fixed serious breakage introduced in the last version.
* dh_movefiles: really order all symlinks last.
* some minor reorganization of the source tree.
debhelper (0.95) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: move even very strangly named files. (#23775) Unfortunatly,
I had to use a temporary file. Oh well..
debhelper (0.94) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_md5sums: fixed so it handles spaces and other odd characters in
filenames correctly. (#23046, #23700, #22010)
* As a side effect, got rid of the nasty temporary file dh_md5sums used
before.
debhelper (0.93) unstable; urgency=low
* Depend on file, since several dh_*'s use it.
debhelper (0.92) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_gencontrol: pass -isp to dpkg-gencontrol to make it include section
and priority info in the .deb file. Back in Jan 1998, this came up, and
a consensus was reached on debian-devel that it was a good thing for
-isp to be used.
debhelper (0.91) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdocs: support debian/<package>.{README.Debian,TODO}
debhelper (0.90) unstable; urgency=low
* I'd like to thank Len Pikulski and Igor Grobman at nothinbut.net for
providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
past week. Thanks, guys!
.
* Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
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/<package> is empty. (#23054)
* dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if
--no-act is on. (#23054)
debhelper (0.88) unstable; urgency=low
* I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy!
* dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression.
* dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to
exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. 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.
debhelper (0.87) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_strip: strip .comment and .note, not comment and note, when stripping
elf binaries. This makes for smaller output files. This has always been
broken in debhelper before! (#22395)
debhelper (0.86) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress: don't try to re-compress *.gz files. Eliminates warning
messages in some cases, shouldn't actually change the result at all.
debhelper (0.85) unstable; urgency=low
* Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch:
- dh_installdirs should go in install target.
- dh_clean should not run in binary targets.
* This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm
going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new
version fixing them, or revert to 0.83.
* So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good
shape if you're starting a new package.
debhelper (0.84) unstable; urgency=low
* Applied Che_Fox'x patches to example rules files, which makes them use
an install target internally to move things into place in debian/tmp.
debhelper (0.83) unstable; urgency=low
* Generate symlinks in build stage of debian/rules. cvs cannot create them
properly. Note that version 0.80 and 0.81 could not build some packages
because of missing symlinks.
debhelper (0.81) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles: empty $tomove (#20495).
debhelper (0.80) unstable; urgency=low
* Moved under cvs (so I can fork a stable and an unstable version).
* dh_movefiles: first move real files, then move symlinks. (#18220)
Thanks to Bdale Garbee <email address hidden> and Adam Heath
<email address hidden> for help on the implementation.
* dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist
rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package
changelogs.
* dh_gencontrol: if debian/package.changelogs files exist, use them.
* Above 2 changes close #20442.
debhelper (0.78) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* More spelling fixes from Christian T. Steigies. (I ignored the spelling
fixes to the changelog, though - too many, and a changelog isn't meant
to be changed after the fact :-)
* dh_fixperms: remove execute bits from .la files genrated by libtool.
debhelper (0.77) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed a nasty bug in dh_makeshlibs when it was called with -V, but with
no version string after the -V.
debhelper (0.76) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* I intended version 0.75 to make it in before the freeze, and it did not.
This is just to get it into frozen. There are no changes except bug
fixes.
debhelper (0.75) unstable; urgency=low
* Actually exit if there is an unknown option on the command line (oooops!)
* Fix .so file conversion to actually work (#19933).
debhelper (0.74) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmanpages: convert .so links to symlinks at last (#19829).
* dh_installmanpages.1: documented that no, dh_installmanpages never
installs symlink man pages from the source package (#19831).
* dh_installmanpages: minor speedups
* PROGRAMMING: numerous spelling fixes, thanks to Christian T. Steigies.
Life is too short for me to spell check my technical documentation, but
I always welcome corrections!
debhelper (0.73) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed typo in dh_suidregister.1
debhelper (0.72) unstable; urgency=low
* Applied patch from Yann Dirson <email address hidden> to add a
--init-script parameter to dh_installinit. (#19227)
* Documented this new switch.
debhelper (0.71) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified,
dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this.
* dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command
do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure
no packages use the old behavior.
debhelper (0.70) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_lib: autoscript(): no longer add the modification date to the
comments aurrounding debhelper-added code. I don't think this date was
gaining us anything, so let's remove it and save some disk space.
debhelper (0.69) unstable; urgency=low
* Refer to suidregister (8), not (1). Bug #19149.
* Removed junk file from debian/ dir.
debhelper (0.68) unstable; urgency=low
* Document that README.debian files are installed as README.Debian (#19089).
debhelper (0.67) unstable; urgency=low
* Added PROGRAMMING document that describes the interface of dh_lib, to
aid others in writing and understanding debhelper programs.
debhelper (0.66) unstable; urgency=low
* README, dh_testversion.1, dh_movefiles.1: more doc fixes.
* dh_movefiles: don't check for package names to see if files are being
moved from one package back into itself, instead, check tmp dir names.
If you use this behavior, you should use "dh_testversion 0.66".
debhelper (0.65) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdocs.1, dh_movefiles.1: clarified documentation for Che.
debhelper (0.64) unstable; urgency=low
* Removed some junk (a whole old debhelper source tree!) that had gotten
into the source package by accident.
debhelper (0.63) unstable; urgency=low
* Removed some debugging output from dh_installmanpages.
* du_du: no longer does anything, becuase it has been decided on
debian-policy that du control files are bad.
* examples/*: removed dh_du calls.
* debian/rules: removed dh_du call.
* Modified dh_gencontrol, dh_makeshlibs, and dh_md5sums to generate files
with the correct permissions even if the umask is set to unusual
values. (#18283)
debhelper (0.62) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmanpages: if the man page filename ends in 'x', install it in
/usr/X11R6/man/.
* TODO: expanded descriptions of stuff, in the hope someone else will get
inspired to implement some of it.
* Also added all wishlist bugs to the TODO.
debhelper (0.61) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmanpages: Add / to end of egrep -v regexp, fixes it so
debian/icewm.1 can be found.
debhelper (0.60) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_fixperms: make all files readable and writable by owner
(policy 3.3.8 paragraph 2).
Lintian found lots of bugs that will be fixed by this change.
debhelper (0.59) unstable; urgency=low
* Added DH_NO_ACT and --no-act, which make debhelper commands run without
actually doing anything. (Combine with -v to see what the command would
have done.) (#17598)
debhelper (0.58) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed bug #17597 - DH_VERBOSE wasn'talways taking effect.
debhelper (0.57) unstable; urgency=low
* Depend on perl 5.004 or greater (for Getopt::Long).
debhelper (0.56) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress: Applied patch from Yann Dirson <email address hidden>,
to make it not abort of one of the find's fails.
debhelper (0.55) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_clean: delete substvarsfiles probperly again (broken in 0.53). #17077
* Added call to dh_movefiles, and a commented out call to dh_testversion,
to some of the sample rules files. #17076
debhelper (0.54) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own
argument processor in perl.
* Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them.
* All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie,
dh_installinit -u"defaults 10")
* Now depends on perl (needs Getopt::Long).
debhelper (0.53) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp
type directories. (#16933)
* dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now
use debian/<mainpackage>.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934)
* dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in
preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
are supported. (#16935)
* Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages.
(#16932)
debhelper (0.52) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress: compress file belongs in debian/. It was looking in ./
This has been broken since version 0.30.
debhelper (0.51) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
policy. (#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.
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.
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.
debhelper (0.36) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_undocumented: exit with an error message if the man page specified
does not have a section.
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.
debhelper (0.34) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed typo #16215.
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.
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.
debhelper (0.31) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed man page typos #15685.
debhelper (0.30) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_md5sumes, dh_installdirs, dh_compress: fixed assorted cd bugs.
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().
debhelper (0.28) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_makeshlibs: fixes type that caused the program to crash (#15536).
debhelper (0.27) unstable; urgency=low
* README: fixed typoes (one serious).
* Ran ispell on all the documentation.
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).
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.
debhelper (0.24) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_clean: no longer clean up empty (0 byte) files (#15240).
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)
debhelper (0.22) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installdocs: Install README.debian as README.Debian (of course,
README.Debian is installed with the same name..)
debhelper (0.21) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installinit: on removal, fixed how update-rc.d is called.
debhelper (0.20) unstable; urgency=low
* Added dh_installinit, which installs an init.d script, and edits the
postinst, postrm, etc.
debhelper (0.19) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmenu.1: menufile is in section 5, not 1.
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.
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.
debhelper (0.16) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress: always compress changelog and upstream changelog, no
matter what their size (#14604) (policy 5.8)
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.
debhelper (0.14) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_fixperms: leave permissions on files in /usr/doc/packages/examples
unchanged.
* Install examples/rules* executable.
debhelper (0.13) unstable; urgency=low
* Added dh_makeshlibs, automatically generates a shlibs file.
debhelper (0.12) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed mispelling of dh_md5sums in examples rules files and README.
(#13990) Thanks, Adrian.
debhelper (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles.
(Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <email address hidden>) #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).
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.
debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
* Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package.
* dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page.
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.
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.)
debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
* Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash.
debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low
* Added dh_installcron to install cron jobs.
debhelper (0.4) unstable; urgency=low
* Added dh_strip to strip binaries and libraries.
* Fixed several man pages.
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.
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.
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.
