+ Should have been removed as a part of the clean up in the previous

+ * Dh_Lib.pm: Remove unused third parameter from install_dh_config_file
+ * makefile.pm: Provide hook for subclasses to reuse cross-build support
+ (Closes: #1024296)
+ * Dh_Lib.pm: Revert change where `install_{file,prog,lib}` would use chown.
+ The problem that prompted this change was not caused by debhelper but
+ by fakeroot (#1024544) and the change in debhelper would not even
+ function as a work around in this case. Accordingly, the extra
+ complexity is not worth it and has been reverted.

+ * dh_builddeb: Always pass `--root-owner-group` to `dpkg-deb` for dbgsym packages.
+ * Dh_Lib.pm: Provide `mkdirs` to create (non-package) directories.
+ * Dh_Lib.pm: Make `install_dir` chown created directories when root should be
+ used for debhelper's own commands. This fixes #1024261 for packages that only
+ use debhelper itself. However, third-party debhelper tools may still cause
+ packages with incorrect ownership for now if they are run after `dh_fixperms`
+ (or `dh_fixperms` is omitted).
+ * Dh_Lib.pm: Ensure `install_{file,prog,lib}` uses chown when root should be used.
+ Previously, they would skip the `chown` call and rely on `dh_fixperms`
+ or `dpkg-deb` to fix the ownership. However, that could cause issues
+ when the helper was run after `dh_fixperms` and install files that
+ `dpkg-deb` would not reset ownership of.

+ checking whether hook targets are correct.
+ * dh: Hoist `nodoc` and `nocheck` from `DEB_BUILD_PROFILES`
+ into `DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS` when they are present in the former
+ and absent in the latter. Emit a warning when doing so to
+ aid the user, so they know why this does not work when they
+ are later building a package that does not use dh.

+ * dh: Provide a warning when cross building an `nocheck` is
+ absent from `DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS` to cross builders, who are
+ not experienced with Debian's requirements for
+ cross-building. The warning also recommends activating the
+ `cross` build profile and provides a way to disable the

+ people have a system that can run host binaries).
+ * Dh_Lib.pm: Fix bug where `addsubstvars` would not respect
+ the `--no-act` parameter.
+ * dh_perl: For scripts that are detected as perl scripts
+ that would trigger a dependency, normalize the shebang line to
+ use the same perl as debhelper is run under (/usr/bin/perl
+ in Debian, YMMV in derivatives). (Closes: #904409)
+ * dh_assistant: Provide new `log-installed-files` command to
+ help users and third-party tools record which files they have
+ installed. Third-party tools should use the

+ (Closes: #972724)
+ * dh_installexamples: Explicitly recommend `examples/*` over

+ * 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

+ 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 precedence 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

+ * 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)
+ * In v8 mode, prefer the perl_build buildsystem over perl_makemaker.

+ - supports -X. Closes: #116902

+ * 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, supplementing the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
+ Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
+ <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.

+ 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

+
+ * 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 recommend 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 dependencies 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 usefulness, 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 appropriately (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..

+ - 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 satisfactorily anyway.
+ - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
+ - I realize this isn't following the recommendations 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.

+ * Dh_Lib.pm: all multiple package operations were broken.

+ * 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

+ * 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

+ * dh_debstd is completely untested, I don't have the source to any packages

+ for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two

+
+ * 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 certain 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.pm: 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.

+ that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',

+ 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

+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.
