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// 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.

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.

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. -- Niels Thykier Sun, 08 Apr 2018 08:47:35 +0000 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/." over "debian/" 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. -- Niels Thykier Sat, 07 Apr 2018 19:23:32 +0000 debhelper (11.1.6) unstable; urgency=medium * Dh_Lib.pm: 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. Previously 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 xfonts in multiple fonts directories. (Closes: #894227) * Dh_Lib.pm: 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.pm: Make Dh_Lib loadable again without a debian/control being present. This makes the autopkgtests work again. -- Niels Thykier Thu, 29 Mar 2018 19:26:59 +0000 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. -- Niels Thykier Sun, 25 Feb 2018 10:05:22 +0000 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.pm: 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.pm: Add an experimental feature to determine the requested compat level from the Build-Depends field. -- Niels Thykier Sat, 24 Feb 2018 16:01:31 +0000 debhelper (11.1.4) unstable; urgency=medium * qmake.pm,qmake_qt4.pm: Avoid global state in the build systems. * dh_makeshlibs: Fix --no-act, which could still cause writes to the shlibs file.

(Closes: #886108, #888294) * Dh_Lib.pm: Fix regression where "foo{bar}" would not be matched when the pattern was handled as a glob. The bug was introduced in debhelper/10.6. Thanks to Wouter Verhelst for finding the bug. (Closes: #888251) * d/control: Update the Vcs-* fields to point to salsa.debian.org as a part of the migration from alioth. * d/control: Update maintainer address debhelper@packages.d.o as a part of the migration from alioth. Any subscription to debhelper-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org should be replaced by a subscription in tracker.debian.org or salsa.debian.org. * d/control: Remove Bernhard R. Link from uploaders as he does not appear to be active in debhelper at the moment. Thanks to Bernhard for his past contributions. * d/control: Bump (Build-)Dependency on dpkg to ensure that dpkg provides DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT and DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD as a part of its Rules-Requires-Root support. * Dh_Lib.pm: Rely on DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT instead of the field to determine whether or not tools may "root-only" actions (such as chown'ing). * d/control: Bump dependency on dh-autoreconf to ensure that packages do not experience #887482. * makefile.pm: Ensure that command line arguments are passed deterministically to make when cross-compiling. -- Niels Thykier Wed, 31 Jan 2018 21:36:13 +0000 debhelper (11.1.3) unstable; urgency=medium * autoscripts/*: Improve rollback handling of many scripts.

(Closes: #446856) * 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 command). * ninja.pm: Set LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 when calling ninja to avoid meson choking on UTF-8 characters when it embeds itself into e.g. the build or install.

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 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 in the binary target when all packages being acted on are indep. * dh: Avoid running install sequence a third time in v9 when the rules file has explicit binary-indep and binary-arch targets.

[ Joey Hess ] * dh_gencontrol: Drop the Homepage field from udebs. Closes: #492719 * Typo. Closes: #493062 * dh_auto_install: Improve check for MakeMaker, to avoid passing PREFIX if the Makefile was generated by Module::Build::Compat. Closes: #496157 -- Joey Hess Fri, 22 Aug 2008 22:30:12 -0400 debhelper (7.0.16) unstable; urgency=low * dh: Avoid passing --with on to subcommands. Closes: #490886 * dh_installchangelogs: When searching for changelog in v7 mode, skip empty files. Closes: #490937 -- Joey Hess Sat, 19 Jul 2008 15:34:13 -0400 debhelper (7.0.15) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: Do not delete *-stamp files in -k mode in v7. Closes: #489918 -- Joey Hess Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:16:11 -0400 debhelper (7.0.14) unstable; urgency=low * Load python-support sequence file first, to allow ones loaded later to disable it. -- Joey Hess Sat, 05 Jul 2008 08:23:32 -0400 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 -- Joey Hess Wed, 25 Jun 2008 12:27:02 -0400 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. -- Joey Hess Wed, 25 Jun 2008 03:36:50 -0400 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 -- Joey Hess Mon, 16 Jun 2008 12:39:21 -0400 debhelper (7.0.10) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: Do not compress index.sgml files, as generated by gtk-doc. Closes: #484772 -- Joey Hess Fri, 06 Jun 2008 11:48:39 -0400 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 -- Joey Hess Mon, 19 May 2008 12:47:47 -0400 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. -- Joey Hess Sun, 04 May 2008 16:10:54 -0400 debhelper (7.0.7) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installxfonts: Fix precedence problem that exposes a new warning message in perl 5.10. -- Joey Hess Sun, 04 May 2008 13:43:41 -0400 debhelper (7.0.6) unstable; urgency=low * dh_auto_test: Correct Module::Build tests. -- Joey Hess Sat, 03 May 2008 12:58:50 -0400 debhelper (7.0.5) unstable; urgency=low * Convert copyright file to new format. * dh_test*: inhibit logging. Closes: #478958 -- Joey Hess Thu, 01 May 2008 19:52:00 -0400 debhelper (7.0.4) unstable; urgency=low * Fix underescaped $ in Makefile. Closes: #478475 * dh_auto_test: Run tests for Module::Build packages. (Florian Ragwitz) -- Joey Hess Wed, 30 Apr 2008 02:17:01 -0400 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. -- Joey Hess Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:40:03 -0400 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. -- Joey Hess Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:55:49 -0400 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. -- Joey Hess Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:16:19 -0400 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). -- Joey Hess Wed, 23 Apr 2008 23:14:57 -0400 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 -- Joey Hess Sat, 19 Apr 2008 16:43:31 -0400 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 -- Joey Hess Tue, 01 Apr 2008 18:31:12 -0400 debhelper (6.0.10) unstable; urgency=low * dh_perl: Remove empty directories created by MakeMaker. -- Joey Hess Tue, 25 Mar 2008 14:11:57 -0400 debhelper (6.0.9) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installman: Don't recode symlinks. Closes: #471196 -- Joey Hess Sun, 16 Mar 2008 13:53:39 -0400 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. -- Joey Hess Mon, 10 Mar 2008 18:40:25 -0400 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.) -- Joey Hess Thu, 06 Mar 2008 13:55:46 -0500 debhelper (6.0.6) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: Pass -n to gzip to yield 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 completely random (hash key order), so sort it. Closes: #468959 -- Joey Hess Wed, 05 Mar 2008 21:35:21 -0500 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. -- Joey Hess Mon, 28 Jan 2008 16:43:10 -0500 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. -- Joey Hess Sat, 26 Jan 2008 18:32:27 -0500 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 -- Joey Hess Sun, 20 Jan 2008 15:27:59 -0500 debhelper (6.0.2) unstable; urgency=low * Revert slightly broken refactoring of some exclude code. Closes: #460340, #460351 -- Joey Hess Sat, 12 Jan 2008 12:31:15 -0500 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. -- Joey Hess Fri, 11 Jan 2008 14:15:56 -0500 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. -- Joey Hess Tue, 08 Jan 2008 17:12:36 -0500 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 -- Joey Hess Sat, 22 Dec 2007 22:54:51 -0500 debhelper (5.0.62) unstable; urgency=low * 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. -- Joey Hess Thu, 29 Nov 2007 12:04:59 -0500 debhelper (5.0.61) unstable; urgency=low * Man page fix re v4. Closes: #450608 * dh_makeshlibs: Support symbols files. Closes: #443978 Packages using this support should build-depend on dpkg-dev (>= 1.14.8). Symbols files can be downloaded from mole: http://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/mole/seedsymbols -- Joey Hess Mon, 19 Nov 2007 14:27:57 -0500 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. -- Joey Hess Fri, 02 Nov 2007 23:21:08 -0400 debhelper (5.0.59) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdeb: Add support for dpkg triggers, by installing debian/package.triggers files. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Oct 2007 13:59:18 -0400 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 -- Joey Hess Fri, 19 Oct 2007 21:25:50 -0400 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. -- Joey Hess Sun, 30 Sep 2007 13:42:09 -0400 debhelper (5.0.56) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmodules: Since modutils is gone, stop supporting debian/*.modutils files. Warn about such files. Closes: #443127 -- Joey Hess Tue, 18 Sep 2007 18:16:13 -0400 debhelper (5.0.55) unstable; urgency=low * dh_desktop: Only generate calls to update-desktop-database for desktop files with MimeType fields. Patch from Emmet Hikory. Closes: #427831 * dh_strip: Don't run objcopy if the output file already exists. Closes: #380314 * dh_strip: Check that --dbg-package lists the name of a real package. Closes: #442480 -- Joey Hess Sun, 16 Sep 2007 19:50:08 -0400 debhelper (5.0.54) unstable; urgency=low * dh_strip: Man page reference to policy section on DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. Closes: #437337 * dh_link: Skip self-links. Closes: #438572 * Don't use - in front of make clean in example rules files. * Typo. Closes: #441272 -- Joey Hess Sat, 08 Sep 2007 21:52:40 -0400 debhelper (5.0.53) unstable; urgency=low * dh_icons: Check for index.theme files before updating the cache. Closes: #432824 -- Joey Hess Fri, 13 Jul 2007 14:51:00 -0400 debhelper (5.0.52) unstable; urgency=low * Remove DOS line endings from dh_icons scriptlets. Thanks, Daniel Holbach. Closes: #432321 -- Joey Hess Mon, 09 Jul 2007 11:26:18 -0400 debhelper (5.0.51) 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 * dh_gencontrol: Fix man page typo. Closes: #431232 -- Joey Hess Sun, 08 Jul 2007 18:16:21 -0400 debhelper (5.0.50) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installwm: If a path is not given, assume the file is in usr/bin, since 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 file. (Thanks Wakko) * Use dpkg-query to retrieve conffile info in udev rules upgrade code rather than parsing status directly. (Thanks Guillem) -- Joey Hess Thu, 31 May 2007 13:14:06 -0400 debhelper (5.0.49) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installwm: Fix several stupid bugs, including: - man page handling was supposed to be v6 only and was not - typo in alternatives call - use the basename of the wm to get the man page name Closes: #420158 * dh_installwm: Also make the code to find the man page more robust and fall back to not registering a man page if it is not found. -- Joey Hess Fri, 20 Apr 2007 13:43:35 -0400 debhelper (5.0.48) unstable; urgency=low * Remove use of #SECTION# from dh_installinfo postinst snippet that was accidentally re-added in 5.0.46 due to a corrupt svn checkout. Closes: #419849 -- Joey Hess Wed, 18 Apr 2007 13:24:58 -0400 debhelper (5.0.47) unstable; urgency=low * Fix absurd typo. How did I test for an hour and miss that? Closes: #419612 -- Joey Hess Mon, 16 Apr 2007 18:20:20 -0400 debhelper (5.0.46) unstable; urgency=low * Fix a typo in postinst-udev. -- Joey Hess Mon, 16 Apr 2007 12:39:41 -0400 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 fragment reversal only in v6, since it can break certain third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060 -- Joey Hess Fri, 13 Apr 2007 12:34:10 -0400 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 * Add dh_installifupdown. Please consider using this if you have /etc/network/if-up.d, etc files. Closes: #217552 -- Joey Hess Mon, 09 Apr 2007 15:18:22 -0400 debhelper (5.0.43) unstable; urgency=low [ Valery Perrin ] * Correct typo in french translation [ Joey Hess ] * Typo. Closes: #400571 * dh_fixperms: Change a chmod +x to chmod a+x, to avoid the umask influencing it. * Looks like Package-Type might get into dpkg. Support it w/o the XB- too. * dh_installudev: Fix postrm to not fail if the udev symlink is missing. Closes: #406921, #381940 * dh_fixperms: Make all files in /usr/include 644, not only .h files. Closes: #404785 * Man page improvements. Closes: #406707 * dh_installdocs: In v5 mode, now ignore empty files even if they're hidden away inside a subdirectory. The code missed this before. See #200905 * dh_installudev: Support debian/udev files. Closes: #381854 * dh_installudev: Treat --priority value as a string so that leading zeros can be used (also so that a leading "z" that is not "z60" can be specified).

Closes: #395495 * Correct some incorrect instances of "v4 only" in docs. Closes: #381536 * dh_installinfo: Put the section madness to bed by not passing any section information to install-info. Current install-info parses INFO-DIR-SECTION on its own if that's not specified.

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. -- Joey Hess Sun, 1 Oct 2006 13:07:40 -0400 debhelper (5.0.37.3) unstable; urgency=low * Non-maintainer upload. * Update of dh_python - when building 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 uninitialized value.

Closes: #375936 -- Raphael Hertzog Mon, 10 Jul 2006 13:20:06 +0200 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. -- Raphael Hertzog Sat, 17 Jun 2006 20:44:29 +0200 debhelper (5.0.37.1) unstable; urgency=low * Non-maintainer upload. * Integrate the new dh_python implementing the new Python policy.

Inherited from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a replacement: 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 reporting 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 independently. 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 encouraged 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 occurred 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.) -- Joey Hess Thu, 11 Apr 2002 17:28:57 -0400 debhelper (3.4.14) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed an uninitialized value warning, Closes: #141729 -- Joey Hess Mon, 8 Apr 2002 11:45:02 -0400 debhelper (3.4.13) unstable; urgency=low * Typo, Closes: #139176 * Fixed dh_md5sums conffile excluding/including. -- Joey Hess Wed, 20 Mar 2002 11:25:36 -0500 debhelper (3.4.12) unstable; urgency=low * Fix to #99169 was accidentally reverted in 3.0.42; reinstated. -- Joey Hess Sat, 16 Mar 2002 23:31:46 -0500 debhelper (3.4.11) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed dh_installdocs and dh_installexamples to support multiple -X's. -- Joey Hess Thu, 28 Feb 2002 13:02:35 -0500 debhelper (3.4.10) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed dh_movefiles.

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: #131322 -- Joey Hess Tue, 29 Jan 2002 18:58:58 -0500 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say what debhelper compatibility level your package uses. It has the big advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command line, as well as in debian/rules. * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d. This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy). * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable, ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends on, supplementing the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars. Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi , filtered through a long period of mulling it over. Closes: #76352 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too. -- Joey Hess Sat, 26 Jan 2002 23:30:51 -0500 debhelper (3.4.3) unstable; urgency=low * Improved dh_installxfonts some more: - Better indenting of generated code. - Better ordering of generated code (minor fix). -- Joey Hess Sat, 26 Jan 2002 23:09:59 -0500 debhelper (3.4.2) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #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 aren'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 prefer now. - Other changes, should fully comply with Debian X font policy now. -- Joey Hess Tue, 15 Jan 2002 12:17:43 -0500 debhelper (3.4.1) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed programmer's documentation of DOINDEP and DOARCH, Closes: #128546 * Fixed dh_builddeb SYNOPSIS, Closes: #128548 -- Joey Hess Thu, 10 Jan 2002 13:49:37 -0500 debhelper (3.4.0) unstable; urgency=low * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break compatibility in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary compatibility, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497 * dh_testversion is deprecated -- use build deps instead. A warning message is now output when it runs. Currently used by: 381 packages. * dh_installxaw is deprecated -- xaw-wrappers in no longer in the distribution. A warning message is now output when it runs.

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 certain 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 surprised 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") -- Joey Hess Sun, 3 Jun 2001 16:37:33 -0400 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. -- Joey Hess Fri, 1 Jun 2001 14:27:06 -0400 debhelper (3.0.28) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: clean up temp files used by earlier versions of debhelper. Closes: #99169 -- Joey Hess Wed, 30 May 2001 16:24:09 -0400 debhelper (3.0.27) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces and quotes. This was some historical 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.

This should work for the variously broken db3, liballeg, and it will fix the problem with console-tools-dev, which contained (arguably broken) absolute symlinks to real files, which were followed. Closes: #85483 -- Joey Hess Wed, 14 Mar 2001 14:55:58 -0800 debhelper (3.0.10) unstable; urgency=medium * Fixed broken -e #SCRIPT# tests in init script start/stop/restart code. Arrgh.

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 dependencies 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 dependencies. Closes: #88464, #77743 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants us to deal with that gracefully. * dh_makeshlibs: now uses objdump, should be more accurate.

The -k flag has been done away with, as the new perl packages don't make packlist files. * Fixed some bugs in the new dh_perl and updated it to my current debhelper coding standards. * Use dh_perl to generate debhelper's own deps. * Version number increase to meet perl policy. -- Joey Hess Tue, 13 Feb 2001 09:07:48 -0800 debhelper (3.0.1) unstable; urgency=low * Build-depends on perl-5.6, since it uses 2 argument pod2man. * Cleanups of debhelper.1 creation process. -- Joey Hess Mon, 12 Feb 2001 16:12:59 -0800 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages. It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where based on .TH section field and filename 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.. -- Joey Hess Thu, 8 Feb 2001 14:29:58 -0800 debhelper (2.2.21) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed a stupid typo in dh_suidregister, Closes: #85110 -- Joey Hess Tue, 6 Feb 2001 13:29:57 -0800 debhelper (2.2.20) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installinit -r: stop init script in prerm on package removal, Closes: #84974 -- Joey Hess Mon, 5 Feb 2001 10:06:31 -0800 debhelper (2.2.19) unstable; urgency=low * dh_shlibdeps -l can handle relative paths now.

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

Never underestimate the annoyance of backwards-compatibility. -- Joey Hess Mon, 27 Nov 2000 12:01:52 -0800 debhelper (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low * DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatibility: - dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154 Patch from Masato Taruishi (modified). If you use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many old rules files have the ordering backwards. - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as conffiles. - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages. Closes: #34628 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with caution.. * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago.

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

I looked at the other possibilities, and I don't think any of the supported stuff should be called if the postinst is called for error unwinds.

Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete) * Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case. * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also, the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And, dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should start using it. * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads debian/.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts on. I can't 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. -- Joey Hess Thu, 2 Mar 2000 11:39:56 -0800 debhelper (2.0.88) unstable; urgency=low * Copyright update: files in the examples directory are public domain. -- Joey Hess Mon, 7 Feb 2000 23:16:39 -0800 debhelper (2.0.87) unstable; urgency=low * Documented that lynx is used to convert html changelogs.

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

The dumping is done with lynx. (Closes: #51099) * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to U_PARAMS. 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. -- Joey Hess Tue, 23 Nov 1999 11:36:15 -0800 debhelper (2.0.73) unstable; urgency=low * Actually, debhelper build-depends on perl-5.005. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Nov 1999 21:43:55 -0800 debhelper (2.0.72) unstable; urgency=low * Corrected slash substitution problem in dh_installwm. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Nov 1999 21:43:47 -0800 debhelper (2.0.71) unstable; urgency=low * Oh, the build dependencies include all of debhelper's regular dependencies as well, since it builds using itself. -- Joey Hess Fri, 5 Nov 1999 14:14:26 -0800 debhelper (2.0.70) unstable; urgency=low * Added build dependencies 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. -- Joey Hess Thu, 4 Nov 1999 21:24:37 -0800 debhelper (2.0.69) unstable; urgency=low * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This should make it easier for library packages that also build binary packages to be built with correct dependencies. Closes: #36751 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress does not compress.

Closes: #46684 I made some changes, though: - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl. - I removed all the verbosity 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 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. - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g -- Joey Hess Sun, 24 Oct 1999 15:30:53 -0700 debhelper (2.0.61) unstable; urgency=low * Clarified rules.multi2 comment.

(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 accessible at that name. * dh_compress: removed the usr/share/X11R6/man bit. Note part of FHS. -- Joey Hess Wed, 7 Jul 1999 10:46:03 -0700 debhelper (2.0.09) unstable; urgency=low * 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 transition), dh_compress now compresses various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}.

Debhelper v2 is here, but just barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-) * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/ will be used for the temporary build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except dh_movefiles still uses it.) * debhelper.1: documented this. * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the current compatibility level is equal to that number. * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that. * debhelper itself now builds using DH_COMPAT=2. * dh_debstd forces DH_COMPAT=1, because it needs to stay compatible with debstd after all. -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Jul 1999 13:37:58 -0700 debhelper (1.9.00) unstable; urgency=low * This is a release of debhelper in preparation for debhelper v2. * doc/v2: added, documented status of v2 changes. * README: mention doc/v2 * debhelper.1: documented DH_COMPAT * examples/*: added DH_COMAPT=1 to top of rules files -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Jul 1999 13:16:41 -0700 debhelper (1.2.83) unstable; urgency=medium * dh_perl: fixed substvars typo.

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.

Previously trying to compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail. Probably fixes #35677. Actually, it now skips files with a whole range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and "-gz". * dh_compress.1: updated docs to reflect this, and to give the new suggested starting point if you want to write your own debian/compress file. -- Joey Hess Wed, 7 Apr 1999 02:20:14 -0700 debhelper (1.2.52) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmodules: new program, closes #32546. -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Apr 1999 17:25:37 -0800 debhelper (1.2.51) unstable; urgency=low * Another very minor typo fix. -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Apr 1999 14:04:02 -0800 debhelper (1.2.50) unstable; urgency=low * Very minor typo fix. -- Joey Hess Fri, 26 Mar 1999 17:27:01 -0800 debhelper (1.2.49) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of even symlinks.

This can legitimately happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages built with debhelper >= 1.2.21 that use menus should be rebuilt. -- Joey Hess Sat, 16 Jan 1999 13:47:16 -0800 debhelper (1.2.24) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files. Since this no longer happens implicitly, I've changed to clearing the bits explicitly. * There's also a small behavior change involved here. Before, dh_fixperms did not clear suid permissions on files that were already owned by root. Now it does. * dh_fixperms.1: cleaned up the docs to mention that those bits are cleared. -- Joey Hess Fri, 15 Jan 1999 16:54:44 -0800 debhelper (1.2.23) unstable; urgency=low * autoscripts/postrm-wm: use "=", not "==" (#31727). -- Joey Hess Mon, 11 Jan 1999 13:35:00 -0800 debhelper (1.2.22) unstable; urgency=low * Reversed change in last version; don't clobber mode (#31628). -- Joey Hess Fri, 8 Jan 1999 15:01:25 -0800 debhelper (1.2.21) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/.doc-base exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this, you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper. * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm. * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until suidregister actually supports it. * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths. -- Joey Hess Wed, 30 Dec 1998 22:50:04 -0500 debhelper (1.2.20) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: handle the hard link stuff properly, it was broken. Also faster now. -- Joey Hess Wed, 23 Dec 1998 19:53:03 -0500 debhelper (1.2.19) unstable; urgency=low * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because of wn's truly ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and because it's just 4 lines of code ;-). * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks. When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space. -- Joey Hess Fri, 18 Dec 1998 22:26:41 -0500 debhelper (1.2.18) unstable; urgency=medium * dh_fixperms: was not fixing permissions of files in usr/doc/ to 644, this has been broken since version 1.2.3. -- Joey Hess Sun, 6 Dec 1998 23:35:35 -0800 debhelper (1.2.17) unstable; urgency=low * dh_makeshlibs: relaxed regexp to find library name and number a little so it will work on libraries with a major but no minor version in their filename (examples of such: libtcl8.0.so.1, libBLT-unoff.so.1) * dh_movefiles: added --sourcedir option to make it move files out of some directory besides debian/tmp (#30221) -- Joey Hess Fri, 4 Dec 1998 13:56:57 -0800 debhelper (1.2.16) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installchangelogs: now detects html changelogs and installs them as changelog.html.gz, to comply with latest policy (which I disagree with BTW). * manpages: updated policy version numbers. * dh_installdocs: behavior change: all docs are now installed mode 644. I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any effect, either.

This is just so if you replace dh_makeshlibs with something that generates debian/shlibs, it still gets installed properly. * dh_suidregister: use names instead of uid's and gid's, at request of suidregister maintainer (#29802). -- Joey Hess Sat, 21 Nov 1998 13:13:10 -0800 debhelper (1.2.11) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: if given absolute filenames to move (note that that is *wrong*), it will move relative files anyway. Related to bug #29761. * dh_link: made relative links work right. (I hope!) -- Joey Hess Fri, 20 Nov 1998 20:21:51 -0800 debhelper (1.2.10) unstable; urgency=low * examples/*: added dh_link calls to example rules files. -- Joey Hess Fri, 20 Nov 1998 15:43:07 -0800 debhelper (1.2.9) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_link, which generates policy compliant symlinks in binary packages, painlessly. -- Joey Hess Thu, 19 Nov 1998 18:43:36 -0800 debhelper (1.2.8) unstable; urgency=low * Suggest dh-make (#29376). -- Joey Hess Wed, 18 Nov 1998 02:29:47 -0800 debhelper (1.2.7) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: Fixed another bug. -- Joey Hess Mon, 16 Nov 1998 12:53:05 -0800 debhelper (1.2.6) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: fixed non-integer comparison (#29476) -- Joey Hess Sun, 15 Nov 1998 13:03:09 -0800 debhelper (1.2.5) unstable; urgency=low * The perl conversion is complete. . * dh_compress: perlized (yay, perl has readlink, no more ls -l | awk garbage!) * dh_lib, dh_getopt.pl: deleted, nothing uses them anymore. * debian/rules: don't install above 2 files. * doc/PROGRAMMING: removed all documentation of the old shell library interface. -- Joey Hess Fri, 13 Nov 1998 15:36:57 -0800 debhelper (1.2.4) unstable; urgency=low * dh_debstd, dh_movefiles: perlized. * dh_debstd: fixed -c option. * dh_installinit: fixed minor perl -w warning. * Only 1 shell script remains!

Since 1.1 has actually stabilized, I've upped this to 1.2. * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.) * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized. * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work. -- Joey Hess Mon, 9 Nov 1998 13:04:16 -0800 debhelper (1.1.24) unstable; urgency=low * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers. -- Joey Hess Tue, 27 Oct 1998 18:19:48 -0800 debhelper (1.1.23) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: At the suggestion of James Troup now deletes files named *.P in .deps/ subdirectories.

Now a new dh_installwm program handles registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971) -- Joey Hess Wed, 14 Oct 1998 23:08:04 -0700 debhelper (1.1.21) unstable; urgency=low * Added install to .PHONY target of example rules files. -- Joey Hess Sun, 11 Oct 1998 22:36:10 -0700 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). -- Joey Hess Fri, 2 Oct 1998 15:55:13 -0700 debhelper (1.1.19) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmanpages: look at basename of man pages specified on command line to skip, for backwards compatibility. -- Joey Hess Thu, 10 Sep 1998 11:31:42 -0700 debhelper (1.1.18) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installemacsen: substitute package name for #PACKAGE# when setting up postinst and prerm (#26560). -- Joey Hess Tue, 8 Sep 1998 14:24:30 -0700 debhelper (1.1.17) unstable; urgency=low * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note sections of shared libraries. * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do things you don't want them to. * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are present. It didn't before, which was a bug. -- Joey Hess Mon, 7 Sep 1998 17:33:19 -0700 debhelper (1.1.16) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: remove execute bits from static libraries as well as shared libraries.

Fixed. * dh_installmanpages: the code to exclude searching for man pages in debian/tmp directories was broken. Fixed. -- Joey Hess Mon, 31 Aug 1998 00:05:17 -0700 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) -- Joey Hess Sun, 30 Aug 1998 22:15:44 -0700 debhelper (1.1.13) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmanpages: rewritten in perl.

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. -- Joey Hess Thu, 27 Aug 1998 12:35:42 -0700 debhelper (1.1.11) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installchangelogs: added -k flag, that will make it install a symlink to the original name of the upstream changelog. -- Joey Hess Thu, 20 Aug 1998 15:40:40 -0700 debhelper (1.1.10) unstable; urgency=low * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or intended 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, introduced 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 separate file, so dh_testversion doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built. * Removed bogus menu file. -- Joey Hess Mon, 17 Aug 1998 14:15:17 -0700 debhelper (1.1.9) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: has been removing the +x bits of all doc/*/examples/* files since version 0.97 or so. Fixed. -- Joey Hess Sun, 16 Aug 1998 17:11:48 -0700 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 equivalent to -u for this program. You should really use --dpkg-gencontrol-params. -- Joey Hess Fri, 14 Aug 1998 14:07:35 -0700 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).

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 deprecated :-) -- Joey Hess Tue, 11 Aug 1998 15:23:34 -0700 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: accidentally didn't check DH_VERBOSE if commands were not passed any switches. * Dh_Getopt.pm: --noscripts was broken. -- Joey Hess Tue, 11 Aug 1998 12:44:04 -0700 debhelper (1.1.3) unstable; urgency=low * dh_md5sums: -x was broken since version 1.1.1 - fixed. * Dh_Lib.pm: 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: completely 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. -- Joey Hess Mon, 10 Aug 1998 15:01:15 -0700 debhelper (1.1.2) unstable; urgency=low * dh_strip: added -X to specify files to not strip (#25590). * Added dh_installemacsen, for automatic registration with emacsen-common (#21401). * Preliminary thoughts in TODO about converting entire debhelper programs to perl programs. -- Joey Hess Mon, 10 Aug 1998 13:35:17 -0700 debhelper (1.1.1) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: try to move all files specified, and only then bomb out if some of the file could not be found. 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. -- Joey Hess Sat, 8 Aug 1998 22:48:01 -0700 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 debhelper 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.

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. -- Joey Hess Sat, 8 Aug 1998 17:33:20 -0700 debhelper (0.99.4) unstable; urgency=low * dh_debstd: only warn about scripts that actually lack #DEBHELPER#.

WARNING: Debhelper (specifically dh_compress) is broken with !!!! libtricks.

It's also much cleaner. Thanks, Herbert! * dh_getopt.pl, doc/PROGRAMMING: added DH_EXCLUDE_FIND, to make the above fix work. -- Joey Hess Sun, 5 Jul 1998 18:09:25 -0700 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. -- Joey Hess Sun, 28 Jun 1998 21:53:45 -0700 debhelper (0.95) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: move even very strangely named files.

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. -- Joey Hess Fri, 19 Jun 1998 16:15:24 -0700 debhelper (0.91) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs: support debian/.{README.Debian,TODO} -- Joey Hess Wed, 17 Jun 1998 19:09:35 -0700 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 completely 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, because some people enjoy changing root's name. * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files, for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two files are treated identically. * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function. * Minor man page fixes. * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/ is empty. (#23054) * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if --no-act is on.

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

(#18220) Thanks to Bdale Garbee and Adam Heath 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. -- Joey Hess Mon, 30 Mar 1998 20:54:26 -0800 debhelper (0.78) frozen unstable; urgency=low * More spelling fixes from Christian T.

Bug #19149. * Removed junk file from debian/ dir. -- Joey Hess Sun, 8 Mar 1998 13:04:36 -0800 debhelper (0.68) unstable; urgency=low * Document that README.debian files are installed as README.Debian (#19089). -- Joey Hess Fri, 6 Mar 1998 17:48:32 -0800 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. -- Joey Hess Fri, 6 Mar 1998 12:45:08 -0800 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". -- Joey Hess Mon, 2 Mar 1998 17:50:29 -0800 debhelper (0.65) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs.1, dh_movefiles.1: clarified documentation for Che. -- Joey Hess Mon, 2 Mar 1998 17:20:39 -0800 debhelper (0.64) unstable; urgency=low * Removed some junk (a whole old debhelper source tree!) that had gotten into the source package by accident. -- Joey Hess Mon, 23 Feb 1998 20:23:34 -0800 debhelper (0.63) unstable; urgency=low * Removed some debugging output from dh_installmanpages. * du_du: no longer does anything, because 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) -- Joey Hess Mon, 16 Feb 1998 23:34:36 -0800 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. -- Joey Hess Thu, 12 Feb 1998 22:38:53 -0800 debhelper (0.61) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmanpages: Add / to end of egrep -v regexp, fixes it so debian/icewm.1 can be found. -- Joey Hess Wed, 11 Feb 1998 09:09:28 -0800 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. -- Joey Hess Mon, 9 Feb 1998 12:26:13 -0800 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) -- Joey Hess Sun, 1 Feb 1998 14:51:08 -0800 debhelper (0.58) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed bug #17597 - DH_VERBOSE wasn't always taking effect. -- Joey Hess Wed, 28 Jan 1998 17:18:17 -0500 debhelper (0.57) unstable; urgency=low * Depend on perl 5.004 or greater (for Getopt::Long). -- Joey Hess Sat, 17 Jan 1998 02:12:06 -0500 debhelper (0.56) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: Applied patch from Yann Dirson , to make it not abort of one of the find's fails. -- Joey Hess Thu, 15 Jan 1998 19:16:48 -0500 debhelper (0.55) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: delete substvarsfiles properly 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 -- Joey Hess Wed, 14 Jan 1998 12:48:43 -0500 debhelper (0.54) unstable; urgency=low * Dh_Lib.pm: 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). -- Joey Hess Sat, 10 Jan 1998 15:44:09 -0500 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/.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) -- Joey Hess Sat, 10 Jan 1998 11:30:12 -0500 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. -- Joey Hess Tue, 6 Jan 1998 14:08:31 -0500 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. -- Joey Hess Mon, 5 Jan 1998 16:15:01 -0500 debhelper (0.50) unstable; urgency=low * dh_makeshlibs: added -m parameter, which can force the major number of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly. * Added dh_testversion to let your package depend on a 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. -- Joey Hess Sat, 3 Jan 1998 14:36:15 -0500 debhelper (0.37) unstable; urgency=low * dh_du: Fixed hardcoded debian/tmp. * This change got lost by accident, redid it: Optimized out most of the slowdown caused by using dpkg-parsechangelog - now it's only called by 2 dh_* programs. -- Joey Hess Sun, 28 Dec 1997 20:45:22 -0500 debhelper (0.36) unstable; urgency=low * dh_undocumented: exit with an error message if the man page specified does not have a section. -- Joey Hess Sat, 27 Dec 1997 14:14:04 -0500 debhelper (0.35) unstable; urgency=low * Dh_Lib.pm: use dpkg-parsechangelog instead of parsing it by hand. This makes a package build slower (by about 30 seconds, on average), so I might remove it or optimize it if too many people yell at me. :-) * dh_undocumented.1: note that it really links to undocumented.7.gz. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Dec 1997 22:19:39 -0500 debhelper (0.34) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed typo #16215. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Dec 1997 14:41:46 -0500 debhelper (0.33) unstable; urgency=low * examples/*: use prefix, instead of PREFIX, because autoconf uses that. Also, use `pwd`/debian/tmp, instead of debian/tmp. * Always substitute #DEBHELPER# in maintainer scripts, even if it expands to nothing, for neatness and to save a few bytes. #15863 * dh_clean: added -k parameter to not delete debian/files. #15789 * examples/*: use dh_clean -k in the binary targets of all rules files, for safety. -- Joey Hess Thu, 11 Dec 1997 19:05:41 -0500 debhelper (0.32) unstable; urgency=low * Split dh_installdebfiles into 3 programs (dh_installdeb, dh_shlibdeps, and dh_gencontrol). dh_installdebfiles still works, but is deprecated. * Added an examples/rules.indep file. * examples/rules.multi: changed dh_du -a to dh_du -i in binary-indep section. -- Joey Hess Wed, 10 Dec 1997 19:53:13 -0500 debhelper (0.31) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed man page typos #15685. -- Joey Hess Sat, 6 Dec 1997 21:44:58 -0500 debhelper (0.30) unstable; urgency=low * dh_md5sumes, dh_installdirs, dh_compress: fixed assorted cd bugs. -- Joey Hess Fri, 5 Dec 1997 15:08:36 -0500 debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low * Dh_Lib.pm: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else. * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;', `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection) * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean, dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit(). -- Joey Hess Thu, 4 Dec 1997 13:56:14 -0500 debhelper (0.28) unstable; urgency=low * dh_makeshlibs: fixes type that caused the program to crash (#15536). -- Joey Hess Wed, 3 Dec 1997 13:22:48 -0500 debhelper (0.27) unstable; urgency=low * README: fixed typos (one serious). * Ran ispell on all the documentation. -- Joey Hess Sun, 30 Nov 1997 18:48:20 -0500 debhelper (0.26) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdirs: Do not create usr/doc/$PACKAGE directory. Bug #15498 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of the dh_* programs (#15497). * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499). -- Joey Hess Sun, 30 Nov 1997 13:01:40 -0500 debhelper (0.25) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: was not reading debian/compress file - fixed. * examples/*: moved dh_clean call to after make clean is run. -- Joey Hess Tue, 25 Nov 1997 15:43:58 -0500 debhelper (0.24) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: no longer clean up empty (0 byte) files (#15240). -- Joey Hess Tue, 25 Nov 1997 14:29:37 -0500 debhelper (0.23) unstable; urgency=low * Now depends on fileutils (>= 3.16-4), because with any earlier version of fileutils, install -p will not work (#14680) -- Joey Hess Wed, 19 Nov 1997 23:59:43 -0500 debhelper (0.22) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs: Install README.debian as README.Debian (of course, README.Debian is installed with the same name..) -- Joey Hess Tue, 18 Nov 1997 01:23:53 -0500 debhelper (0.21) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installinit: on removal, fixed how update-rc.d is called. -- Joey Hess Sat, 15 Nov 1997 20:43:14 -0500 debhelper (0.20) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_installinit, which installs an init.d script, and edits the postinst, postrm, etc. -- Joey Hess Fri, 14 Nov 1997 00:45:53 -0500 debhelper (0.19) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmenu.1: menufile is in section 5, not 1. -- Joey Hess Wed, 12 Nov 1997 19:54:48 -0500 debhelper (0.18) unstable; urgency=low * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error. * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej, .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files. * Dh_Lib.pm: 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 separately. -- Joey Hess Mon, 10 Nov 1997 19:48:36 -0500 debhelper (0.17) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_installdirs, automatically creates subdirectories (for compatibility with debstd's debian/dirs file. * Dh_Lib.pm: fixed problem with -P flag. -- Joey Hess Fri, 7 Nov 1997 16:07:11 -0500 debhelper (0.16) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: always compress changelog and upstream changelog, no matter what their size (#14604) (policy 5.8) -- Joey Hess Thu, 6 Nov 1997 19:50:36 -0500 debhelper (0.15) unstable; urgency=low * README: documented what temporary directories are used by default for installing package files into. * dh_*: added -P flag, to let a different package build directory be specified. -- Joey Hess Thu, 6 Nov 1997 15:51:22 -0500 debhelper (0.14) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: leave permissions on files in /usr/doc/packages/examples unchanged. * Install examples/rules* executable. -- Joey Hess Mon, 27 Oct 1997 12:42:33 -0500 debhelper (0.13) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_makeshlibs, automatically generates a shlibs file. -- Joey Hess Fri, 24 Oct 1997 20:33:14 -0400 debhelper (0.12) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed misspelling of dh_md5sums in examples rules files and README. (#13990) Thanks, Adrian. -- Joey Hess Fri, 24 Oct 1997 14:35:30 -0400 debhelper (0.11) unstable; urgency=low * dh_md5sums: behavior modification: do not generate md5sums for conffiles. (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith ) #14048. * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter. * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README. * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048). -- Joey Hess Tue, 21 Oct 1997 13:17:28 -0400 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages. * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for multiple binary packages. * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you should rebuild them with this version. * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode. -- Joey Hess Mon, 20 Oct 1997 14:44:30 -0400 debhelper (0.9) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_suidregister, interfaces to to the suidmanager package. * dh_installdebfiles: fixed typo on man page. -- Joey Hess Sat, 18 Oct 1997 20:55:39 -0400 debhelper (0.8) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_md5sum, generates a md5sums file. * dh_clean: fixed to echo all commands when verbose mode is on. -- Joey Hess Fri, 17 Oct 1997 14:18:26 -0400 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low * Sped up some things by removing unnecessary for loops. * dh_installdocs: behavior modification: 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 flexible in a few situations.) -- Joey Hess Mon, 13 Oct 1997 20:08:05 -0400 debhelper (0.6) unstable; urgency=low * Got rid of bashisms - this package should work now if /bin/sh is ash. -- Joey Hess Fri, 10 Oct 1997 15:24:40 -0400 debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_installcron to install cron jobs. -- Joey Hess Tue, 30 Sep 1997 19:37:41 -0400 debhelper (0.4) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_strip to strip binaries and libraries. * Fixed several man pages. -- Joey Hess Sun, 28 Sep 1997 20:46:32 -0400 debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low * Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean. * Removed some pointless uses of cat. -- Joey Hess Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:53 -0400 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but is ready for general use. * Added man pages for all commands. * Multiple binary package support. * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on, by group (arch or noarch), and by package name. * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as parameters. * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be auto-installed as parameters. * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships and permissions. * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so files. * Added a README. * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside the package build directory it is to act on. * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib. * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean. -- Joey Hess Tue, 23 Sep 1997 12:26:12 -0400 debhelper (0.1) experimental; urgency=low * First release. This is a snapshot of my work so far, and it not yet ready to replace debstd. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Sep 1997 15:01:25 -0400
