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

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

Closes: #570503 * dh_install: Now --list-missing and --fail-missing are useful even when not all packages are acted on (due to architecture limits or flags). Closes: #570373 * Typo. Closes: #571968 * If neither -a or -i are specified, debhelper commands used to default to acting on all packages in the control file, which was a guaranteed failure if the control file listed packages that did not build for the target architecture. After recent optimisations, this default behavior can efficiently be changed to the more sane default of acting on only packages that can be built for the current architecture.

This solves the problem with passing "-Bbuild" to dh, where commands that do not support -B would see a bogus -u option.

Closes: #326874 * dh: Override LC_ALL, not LANG. re-Closes: #517617 * dh_installchangelogs: Support -X to exclude automatic installation of specific upstream changelogs. re-Closes: #490937 * Compat level 4 is now deprecated. * dh_makeshlibs: Re-add --add-udeb support. Closes: #518655 * dh_shlibdeps: Remove --add-udeb switch (was accidentially added here). -- Joey Hess Sat, 07 Mar 2009 14:52:20 -0500 debhelper (7.2.2) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmodules: Give files in /etc/modprobe.d a .conf syntax, as required by new module-init-tools. * dh_installmodules: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly renaming the modprobe.d files on upgrade. * Two updates to conffile moving code from wiki: - Support case where the conffile name is a substring of another conffile's name. - Support case where dpkg-query says the file is obsolete. -- Joey Hess Wed, 04 Mar 2009 19:37:33 -0500 debhelper (7.2.1) experimental; urgency=low * Merged debhelper 7.0.52. -- Joey Hess Sat, 28 Feb 2009 20:01:22 -0500 debhelper (7.2.0) experimental; urgency=low * Merged debhelper 7.0.50. * dh: Fix typo. Closes: #509754 * debhelper.pod: Fix typo. Closes: #510180 * dh_gconf: Support mandatory settings. Closes: #513923 * Improve error messages when child commands fail. * Depend on dpkg-dev 1.14.19, the first to support Package-Type fields in dpkg-gencontrol. * dh_gencontrol: No longer need to generate the udeb filename when calling dpkg-gencontrol. * dh_gencontrol: Do not need to tell dpkg-gencontol not to include the Homepage field in udebs (fixed in dpkg-dev 1.14.17). -- Joey Hess Thu, 26 Feb 2009 18:33:44 -0500 debhelper (7.1.1) experimental; urgency=low * dh_install(1): Order options alphabetically. Closes:# 503896 * Fix some docs that refered to --srcdir rather than --sourcedir. Closes: #504742 * Add Vcs-Browser field. Closes: #507804 * Ignore unknown options in DH_OPTIONS. Debhelper will always ignore such options, even when unknown command-line options are converted back to an error. This allows (ab)using DH_OPTIONS to pass command-specific options. (Note that getopt will warn about such unknown options. Eliminating this warning without reimplementing much of Getopt::Long wasn't practical.) -- Joey Hess Sun, 14 Dec 2008 23:19:27 -0500 debhelper (7.1.0) experimental; urgency=low * dh_installchangelogs: Fall back to looking for changelog files ending with ".txt". Closes: #498460 * dh_gencontrol: Ensure misc:Depends is set in substvars to avoid dpkg complaining about it when it's empty. Closes: #498666 * dh: Fix typo in example. Closes: #500836 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long. Closes: #370823 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command that uses them. Affected options are: -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m, --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start, --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest, --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params, --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d, --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing, --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options, they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init(). * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown option. This will be converted back to an error later. -- Joey Hess Wed, 10 Sep 2008 13:58:00 -0400 debhelper (7.0.52) unstable; urgency=low * dh: Fix make parsing to not be broken by locale settings.

Closes: #517549, #517550 -- Joey Hess Sat, 28 Feb 2009 13:23:30 -0500 debhelper (7.0.50) unstable; urgency=low * This release is designed to be easily backportable to stable, to support the new style of rules file that I expect many packages will use. * dh: debian/rules override targets can change what is run for a specific debhelper command in a sequence. (Thanks Modestas Vainius for the improved makefile parser.) * dh: Redid all the examples to use override targets, since these eliminate all annoying boilerplate and are much easier to understand than the old method. * Remove rules.simple example, there's little need to use explicit targets with dh anymore. * dh: Support debian/rules calling make with -B, which is useful to avoid issues with phony implicit rules (see bug #509756). -- Joey Hess Fri, 27 Feb 2009 15:25:52 -0500 debhelper (7.0.17) unstable; urgency=low [ Per Olofsson ] * dh_auto_install: Fix man page, was referring to dh_auto_clean.

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 precidence 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: #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 yeild more reproducible file contents. The time stamp information need not be contained in the .gz file since the time stamp is preserved when compressing and decompressing. Closes: #467100 * The order of dependencies generated by debhelper has been completly random (hash key order), so sort it. Closes: #468959 -- 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.

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 accidentially 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 fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian 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.

Inherited from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment: dh_install, which ... - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files mess, as it uses debian/install. - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404 - supports -X. Closes: #116902 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above. * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and other minor changes. * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead. * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of course there's -X ..) * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent. * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to me before.. * use v4 for building debhelper itself * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing. (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted for woody should continue to use whatever compatibility level they are using.) -- 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 accidentually 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, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars. Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi , filtered through a long period of mulling it over. Closes: #76352 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too. -- Joey Hess Sat, 26 Jan 2002 23:30:51 -0500 debhelper (3.4.3) unstable; urgency=low * Improved dh_installxfonts some more: - Better indenting of generated code. - Better ordering of generated code (minor fix). -- Joey Hess Sat, 26 Jan 2002 23:09:59 -0500 debhelper (3.4.2) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installman: more documentation about the .TH line. Closes: #129205 * dh_installxfonts: - Packages that use this should depend on xutils. See man page. - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay! - Pass only the last component of the directory name to update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now. - Other changes, chould fully comply with Debian X font policy now. -- 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. Currently used by: 3 packages (bugs filed). * Added referneces to menufile in dh_installmenu man page.

Closes: #126491 * fixed dh_testdir man page -- Joey Hess Wed, 26 Dec 2001 21:15:42 -0500 debhelper (3.0.52) unstable; urgency=low * Typo, Closes: #122679 * Export dirname from Dh_Lib, and related cleanup, Closes: #125770 * Document dirname, basename in PROGRAMMING -- Joey Hess Thu, 6 Dec 2001 11:58:52 -0500 debhelper (3.0.51) unstable; urgency=low * Man page cleanups, Closes: #119335 -- Joey Hess Sat, 17 Nov 2001 21:04:15 -0500 debhelper (3.0.50) unstable; urgency=low * dh_undocumented: check for existing uncompressed man pages. Closes: #87972 * Optimized dh_installdeb conffile finding. Closes: #119035 * dh_installdeb: changed the #!/bin/sh -e to set -e on a new line. Whether this additional bloat is worth it to make it easier for people to sh -x a script by hand is debatable either way, I guess. Closes: #119046 * Added a check for duplicated package stanzas in debian/control, Closes: #118805 -- Joey Hess Sat, 17 Nov 2001 14:00:54 -0500 debhelper (3.0.49) unstable; urgency=low * More informative error, Closes: #118767 -- Joey Hess Thu, 8 Nov 2001 18:12:11 -0500 debhelper (3.0.48) unstable; urgency=low * Added .zip and .jar to list of things to compress (Closes: #115735), and modified docs (Closes: #115733). -- Joey Hess Mon, 15 Oct 2001 19:01:43 -0400 debhelper (3.0.47) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installman: documented translated man page support, and made it work properly. It was not stripping the language part from the installed filenames. -- Joey Hess Tue, 9 Oct 2001 15:16:18 -0400 debhelper (3.0.46) unstable; urgency=low * Typo, Closes: #114135 -- Joey Hess Thu, 4 Oct 2001 19:39:34 -0400 debhelper (3.0.45) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installxfonts: Do not specify /usr/sbin/ paths; that should be in the path and dpkg enforces it. Closes: #112385 -- Joey Hess Sun, 16 Sep 2001 18:48:59 -0400 debhelper (3.0.44) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_strip to rules.multi2, and removed .TODO.swp. Closes: #110418 -- Joey Hess Tue, 28 Aug 2001 15:22:41 -0400 debhelper (3.0.43) unstable; urgency=low * dh_perl: made it use doit commands so -v mode works. Yeah, uglier. Closes: #92826 Also some indentation fixes. -- Joey Hess Fri, 24 Aug 2001 15:34:55 -0400 debhelper (3.0.42) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: Typo, Closes: #106532 * Use -x to test for existance of init scripts, rather then -e since we'll be running them, Closes: #109692 * dh_clean: remove debian/*.debhelper. No need to name files specifically; any file matching that is a debhelper temp file.

Closes: #101477 -- Joey Hess Tue, 19 Jun 2001 14:10:24 -0400 debhelper (3.0.35) unstable; urgency=low * Revert change of 3.0.30. This broke too much stuff. Maybe I'll change it in debhelper v4.. -- Joey Hess Mon, 18 Jun 2001 13:56:35 -0400 debhelper (3.0.34) unstable; urgency=low * Unimportant spelling fix. Closes: #100666 -- Joey Hess Thu, 14 Jun 2001 12:30:28 -0400 debhelper (3.0.33) unstable; urgency=low * dh_gencontrol: Work around very strange hurd semantics which allow "" to be an empty file. Closes: #100542 -- Joey Hess Mon, 11 Jun 2001 18:15:19 -0400 debhelper (3.0.32) unstable; urgency=low * Check that update-modules is present before running it, since modutils is not essential. Closes: #100430 -- Joey Hess Sun, 10 Jun 2001 15:13:51 -0400 debhelper (3.0.31) unstable; urgency=low * Remove dh_testversion from example rules file, Closes: #99901 -- Joey Hess Thu, 7 Jun 2001 20:24:39 -0400 debhelper (3.0.30) unstable; urgency=low * dh_gencontrol: Added a documented interface for specifying substvars data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars. (Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it! (debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be prefixed with ".debhelper") -- 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 versons 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 histirical cruft that deals with splitting up the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever program those options go to. So, for example, dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do something complex. Closes: #89311 * Made escape_shell output a lot better. -- Joey Hess Tue, 29 May 2001 17:54:19 -0400 debhelper (3.0.26) unstable; urgency=low * Always include package name in maintainer script fragment filenames and generated shlibs files (except for in DH_COMPAT=1 mode). This is a purely cosmetic change, and if it breaks anything, you were using an undocumented interface. Closes: #95387 -- Joey Hess Thu, 24 May 2001 16:31:46 -0400 debhelper (3.0.25) unstable; urgency=low * dh_makeshlins: append to LD_LIBRARY_PATH at start, not each time through loop. Closes: #98598 -- Joey Hess Thu, 24 May 2001 14:16:50 -0400 debhelper (3.0.24) unstable; urgency=low * Missing semi-colon. * Call dh_shlibdeps as part of build process, as simple guard against this (dh_* should be called, really). -- Joey Hess Tue, 15 May 2001 10:27:34 -0400 debhelper (3.0.23) unstable; urgency=low * dh_shlibdeps: the -l switch now just adds to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if it is already set. Newer fakeroots set it, and clobbering their settings breaks things since they LD_PRELOAD a library that is specified in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. (blah) Closes: #97494 -- Joey Hess Mon, 14 May 2001 22:32:23 -0400 debhelper (3.0.22) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installinfo: doc enchancement, Closes: #97515 * dh_md5sums: don't fail if pwd has spaces in it (must be scraping the bottom of the bug barrel here). Closes: #97404 -- Joey Hess Mon, 14 May 2001 21:22:47 -0400 debhelper (3.0.21) unstable; urgency=low * Corrected bashism (echo -e, DAMNIT), in rules file that resulted in a corrupted Dh_Version.pm. Closes: #97236 -- Joey Hess Sat, 12 May 2001 12:21:40 -0400 debhelper (3.0.20) unstable; urgency=low * Modified the postrm fragment for dh_installxfonts to not try to delete any files. The responsibility for doing so devolves onto update-fonts-* (which don't yet, but will). See bug #94752 -- Joey Hess Fri, 11 May 2001 13:30:43 -0400 debhelper (3.0.19) unstable; urgency=low * Now uses html2text rather than lynx for converting html changelogs. The program generates better results, and won't annoy the people who were oddly annoyed at having to install lynx. Instead, it will annoy a whole other set of people, I'm sure. Closes: #93747 -- Joey Hess Mon, 7 May 2001 21:23:46 -0400 debhelper (3.0.18) unstable; urgency=low * dh_perl: updates from bod: - Provide minimum version for arch-indep module dependencies (perl-policy 1,18, section 3.4.1). - Always update substvars, even if Perl:Depends is empty. -- Joey Hess Sat, 21 Apr 2001 15:13:15 -0700 debhelper (3.0.17) unstable; urgency=low * dh_shlibdeps: document that -l accepts multiple dirs, and make multiple dirs absolute properly, not just the first. -- Joey Hess Mon, 16 Apr 2001 23:20:30 -0700 debhelper (3.0.16) unstable; urgency=low * Documented -isp, Closes: #93983 -- Joey Hess Sat, 14 Apr 2001 19:16:47 -0700 debhelper (3.0.15) unstable; urgency=low * Typo, Closes: #92407 -- Joey Hess Tue, 3 Apr 2001 12:15:02 -0700 debhelper (3.0.14) unstable; urgency=low * dh_strip: ensure that the file _ends_ with `.a'. Closes: #90647 -- Joey Hess Wed, 21 Mar 2001 20:21:11 -0800 debhelper (3.0.13) unstable; urgency=low * dh_makeshlibs: more support for nasty soname formats, Closes: #90520 -- Joey Hess Wed, 21 Mar 2001 15:00:42 -0800 debhelper (3.0.12) unstable; urgency=low * Applied a patch from Anton Zinoviev to pass -e to mkfontdir. Closes: #89418 -- Joey Hess Fri, 16 Mar 2001 21:03:29 -0800 debhelper (3.0.11) unstable; urgency=low * dh_makeshlibs: don't follow links to .so files. Instead, we will look for *.so* files. This should work for the variously broken db3, liballeg, and it will fix the problem with console-tools-dev, which contained (arguably broken) absolute symlinks to real files, which were followed. Closes: #85483 -- Joey Hess Wed, 14 Mar 2001 14:55:58 -0800 debhelper (3.0.10) unstable; urgency=medium * Fixed broken -e #SCRIPT# tests in init script start/stop/restart code. Arrgh. All packages built with the old code (that is, all daemon packages built with debhelper 3.0.9!) are broken. Closes: #89472 -- Joey Hess Tue, 13 Mar 2001 06:10:03 -0500 debhelper (3.0.9) unstable; urgency=low * Modified to use dpkg-architecture instead of dpkg --print-architecture. I hate this, and wish it wasn't necessary to make cross compiles for the hurd work. Closes: #88494 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies. Closes: #88464, #77743 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants us to deal with that gracefully. * dh_makeshlibs: now uses objdump, should be more accurate. Closes: #88426 * Wildcards have been supported for a while, Closes: #54197 * dh_installdocs and dh_link have been able to make doc-dir symlinks for a while, Closes: #51225 -- Joey Hess Sun, 4 Mar 2001 15:48:45 -0800 debhelper (3.0.8) unstable; urgency=low * dh_perl update -- Joey Hess Sat, 24 Feb 2001 23:31:31 -0800 debhelper (3.0.7) unstable; urgency=low * dh_makeshlibs: only generate call to ldconfig if it really looks like a given *.so* file is indeed a shared library. -- Joey Hess Fri, 23 Feb 2001 14:38:50 -0800 debhelper (3.0.6) unstable; urgency=low * Corrected some uninitialized value stuff in dh_suidregister (actually quite a bad bug). * dh_installman: fixed variable socoping error, so file conversions should work now. -- Joey Hess Fri, 16 Feb 2001 14:15:02 -0800 debhelper (3.0.5) unstable; urgency=low * Updated dh_perl to a new version for the new perl organization and policy. The -k flag has been done away with, as the new perl packages don't make packlist files. * Fixed some bugs in the new dh_perl and updated it to my current debhelper coding standards. * Use dh_perl to generate debhelper's own deps. * Version number increase to meet perl policy. -- 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 reccommend everyone begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time.. Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatibility, but is mildly deprecated. * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead. * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report? Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at switching to statoverrides.. * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right? * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make instead. * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs. Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.) * dh_undocumented now the same too now. * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/ files. * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case variable names, pod man pages). * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-) * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release touches every file in this package, so be careful out there.. -- Joey Hess Thu, 8 Feb 2001 14:29:58 -0800 debhelper (2.2.21) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed a stupid typo in dh_suidregister, Closes: #85110 -- Joey Hess Tue, 6 Feb 2001 13:29:57 -0800 debhelper (2.2.20) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installinit -r: stop init script in prerm on package removal, Closes: #84974 -- Joey Hess Mon, 5 Feb 2001 10:06:31 -0800 debhelper (2.2.19) unstable; urgency=low * dh_shlibdeps -l can handle relative paths now. Patch from Colin Watson , Closes: #84408 -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Feb 2001 13:35:39 -0800 debhelper (2.2.18) unstable; urgency=medium * Added a suggests to debconf-utils, Closes: #83643 I may chenge this to a dependancy at some point in the future, since one debconf command needs the package to work. -- Joey Hess Tue, 30 Jan 2001 22:39:54 -0800 debhelper (2.2.17) unstable; urgency=medium * dh_installdebconf: marge in templates with a .ll_LL extension, they were previously ignored. -- Joey Hess Mon, 29 Jan 2001 13:05:21 -0800 debhelper (2.2.16) unstable; urgency=medium * Bah, reverted that last change. It isn't useful because dpkg-buildpackage reads the real control file and gets confused. -- Joey Hess Sun, 28 Jan 2001 01:47:46 -0800 debhelper (2.2.15) unstable; urgency=medium * Added the ability to make debhelper read a different file than debian/control as the control file. This is very useful for various and sundry things, all Evil, most involving kernel packages. -- Joey Hess Wed, 24 Jan 2001 17:33:46 -0800 debhelper (2.2.14) unstable; urgency=medium * Corrected globbing issue with dh_movefiles in v3 mode. Closes: #81431 -- Joey Hess Sun, 21 Jan 2001 18:33:59 -0800 debhelper (2.2.13) unstable; urgency=medium * Fixed a man page typo, Closes: #82371: * Added note to dh_strip man page, Closes: #82220 -- Joey Hess Mon, 15 Jan 2001 20:38:53 -0800 debhelper (2.2.12) unstable; urgency=medium * suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. Instead, packages that contain suid binaries should include the binaries suid in the .deb, and dpkg-statoverride can override this. If this is done to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50). * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before. If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man page, which now explains the situation, and then aborts the build. If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that it is an obsolete program. -- Joey Hess Wed, 10 Jan 2001 13:17:50 -0800 debhelper (2.2.11) unstable; urgency=medium * Fixed dh_installwm. Oops. Closes: #81124 -- Joey Hess Wed, 3 Jan 2001 10:18:38 -0800 debhelper (2.2.10) unstable; urgency=low * dh_shlibdeps: re-enabled -l flag, it's needed again. Closes: #80560 -- Joey Hess Tue, 26 Dec 2000 22:05:30 -0800 debhelper (2.2.9) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed perl wanring, Closes: #80242 -- Joey Hess Thu, 21 Dec 2000 14:43:11 -0800 debhelper (2.2.8) unstable; urgency=medium * dh_installwm: Moved update-alternatives --remove call to prerm, Closes: #80209 * ALso guarded all update-alternatives --remove calls. -- Joey Hess Thu, 21 Dec 2000 11:33:30 -0800 debhelper (2.2.7) unstable; urgency=low * Spelling patch. -- Joey Hess Sun, 3 Dec 2000 17:12:15 -0800 debhelper (2.2.6) unstable; urgency=low * typo: Closes, #78567 -- Joey Hess Sat, 2 Dec 2000 14:27:31 -0800 debhelper (2.2.5) unstable; urgency=low * Oops, it was not expanding wildcard when it should. -- Joey Hess Wed, 29 Nov 2000 20:59:33 -0800 debhelper (2.2.4) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: added error message on file not found -- Joey Hess Wed, 29 Nov 2000 20:25:52 -0800 debhelper (2.2.3) unstable; urgency=low * If DH_COMPAT=3 is set, the following happens: - Various debian/foo files like debian/docs, debian/examples, etc, begin to support filename globbing. use \* to escape the wildcards of course. I doubt this will bite anyone (Debian doesn't seem to contain files with "*" or "?" in their names..), but it is guarded by v3 just to be sure. Closes: #34120, #37694, #39846, #46249 -- Joey Hess Mon, 27 Nov 2000 20:43:26 -0800 debhelper (2.2.2) unstable; urgency=low * dh_makeshlibs: corrected the evil db3-regex so it doesn't misfire on data like "debian/libruby/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/i486-linux/etc.so".

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

This should make it more usable with rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the major version in their filenames.

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.

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.

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.

I wonder how I missed that.. -- Joey Hess Mon, 6 Sep 1999 13:22:08 -0700 debhelper (2.0.40) unstable; urgency=low * FHS complience. Patch from Johnie Ingram . For the most part, this was a straight-forward substitution, dh_installmanpages needed a non-obvious change though. * Closes: #42489, #42587, #41732. * dh_installdocs: Adds code to postinst and prerm as specified in http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html, to make /usr/doc/ a compatibility symlink to /usr/share/doc/. Note that currently if something exists in /usr/doc/ when the postinst is run, it will silently not make the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case. * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to modify other files in your package that reference the old locations. -- Joey Hess Sun, 5 Sep 1999 21:06:11 -0700 debhelper (2.0.30) unstable; urgency=low * It turns out it's possible to set up make variables that are specific to a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command anymore. * debhelper.1: mentioned above technique. * examples/rules.multi: use the above method to get rid of -i's and -a's. * examples/rules.multi2: new file, example of a multi-binary package that works for arch-indep and arch-dependant packages, and also allows building of single binary packages independntly, via binary- targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper commands. * examples/*: removed source and diff targets. They've been obsolete for 2 years -- or is it 3? No need for a nice error message on failure anymore. -- Joey Hess Fri, 3 Sep 1999 11:28:24 -0700 debhelper (2.0.29) unstable; urgency=low * dh_shlibdeps: Fixed quoting problem that made it fail on weird file names. Patch from Devin Carraway , Closes: #44016 -- Joey Hess Thu, 2 Sep 1999 13:40:37 -0700 debhelper (2.0.28) unstable; urgency=low * Oops, dh_installpam was omitted from the package. Added back. Closes: #43652 -- Joey Hess Fri, 27 Aug 1999 19:16:38 -0700 debhelper (2.0.27) unstable; urgency=low * No user visible changes. Modified the package to interface better with my new local build system, which auto-updates the home page when a new debhelper is built. -- Joey Hess Thu, 26 Aug 1999 23:20:40 -0700 debhelper (2.0.25) unstable; urgency=low * Corrected debian/fixlinks to make the correct debian/* symlinks needed for building debhelper. * Fixed rules file to create and populate examples and docs dirs. Oops. -- Joey Hess Wed, 25 Aug 1999 19:46:08 -0700 debhelper (2.0.24) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs: Handle trailing whitespace after Document: name. Closes: #43148. -- Joey Hess Wed, 18 Aug 1999 10:23:17 -0700 debhelper (2.0.23) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed makefile commit target. * Misc changes to make CVS dirs not be copies into package. -- Joey Hess Mon, 16 Aug 1999 22:43:39 -0700 debhelper (2.0.22) unstable; urgency=low * Checked all of debhelper into CVS. * Removed Test.pm (we have perl 5.005 now) * Skip CVS dir when running tests. * Since CVS is so brain dead about symlinks, added a debian/fixlinks script. Modified debian/rules to make sure it's run if any of the symlinks are missing. Also, made Makefile a short file that sources debian/rules so it's always available. -- Joey Hess Mon, 16 Aug 1999 22:35:12 -0700 debhelper (2.0.21) unstable; urgency=low * Wow. It turns out dh_installdocs has been doing it wrong and doc-base files have the doc-id inside them. Applied and modified a patch from Peter Moulder to make it use those id's instead of coming up with it's own. (Closes: #42650) -- Joey Hess Sun, 8 Aug 1999 10:24:10 -0700 debhelper (2.0.20) unstable; urgency=low * dh_perl: Patch from Raphael Hertzog to allow specification on the command line of alternate paths to search for perl modules. (Closes: #42171) -- Joey Hess Fri, 30 Jul 1999 09:42:08 -0700 debhelper (2.0.19) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installinfo: fixed bug if a info file had no section. -- Joey Hess Thu, 29 Jul 1999 11:41:11 -0700 debhelper (2.0.18) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installxaw: fixed multiple stanza problem, for real this time (patch misapplied last time).

I don't anticipate this ever happenning, but it pays to be safe. -- Joey Hess Tue, 20 Jul 1999 21:00:04 -0700 debhelper (2.0.15) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: only force-remove debian/tmp if in v2 mode. In v1 mode, we shouldn't remove it because we may only be acting on a single package. (Closes: #41689) -- Joey Hess Tue, 20 Jul 1999 19:00:15 -0700 debhelper (2.0.14) unstable; urgency=low * Moved /usr/lib/debhelper to /usr/share/debhelper for FHS compliance (#41174). If you used Dh_lib or something in another package, be sure to update your "use" line and declare an appropriate dependancy. (Closes: #41174) * dh_installxaw: Patch from Josip Rodin to fix multiple-stanza xaw file support.

It takes a simple list of info files and figures out the rest for you. (Closes: #15717) -- Joey Hess Wed, 7 Jul 1999 17:04:48 -0700 debhelper (2.0.10) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: compress changelog.html files. (Closes: #40626) * dh_installchangelogs: installs a link from changelog.html.gz to changelog.gz, because I think it's important that upstream changelogs always be accessable at that name. * dh_compress: removed the usr/share/X11R6/man bit. Note part of FHS. -- 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 transiotion), dh_compress now compresses various files in /usr/share/{man,doc,info}. (Closes: #40892) -- Joey Hess Wed, 7 Jul 1999 09:55:03 -0700 debhelper (2.0.08) unstable; urgency=low * dh_*: redirect cd output to /den/null, because CD can actually output things if CDPATH is set. -- Joey Hess Tue, 6 Jul 1999 10:14:00 -0700 debhelper (2.0.07) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_perl calls to example rules files. -- Joey Hess Sun, 4 Jul 1999 15:57:51 -0700 debhelper (2.0.06) unstable; urgency=low * Now depends on perl5 | perl, I'll kill the | perl bit later on, but it seems to make sense for the transition. -- Joey Hess Sun, 4 Jul 1999 10:56:03 -0700 debhelper (2.0.05) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: clean debian/tmp even if v2 is being used. If you're using dh_movefiles, stuff may well be left in there, and it needs to be cleaned up. -- Joey Hess Sat, 3 Jul 1999 13:23:46 -0700 debhelper (2.0.04) unstable; urgency=low * Patch from Raphael Hertzog to make dh_perl support a -d flag that makes it add a dependancy on the sppropriate perl-XXX-base package.

Added a note about that to doc/v2. * Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest supported compatibility level is specified, abort with an error. Perhaps there will be a debhelper v3 some day... -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:08:14 -0700 debhelper (2.0.01) unstable; urgency=low * Actually include doc/v2 this time round. -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Jul 1999 14:01:55 -0700 debhelper (2.0.00) unstable; urgency=low * Don't let the version number fool you. Debhelper v2 is here, but just barely. That's what all the zero's mean. :-) * If DH_COMPAT=2, then debian/ will be used for the temporary build directory for all packages. debian/tmp is no more! (Well, except dh_movefiles still uses it.) * debhelper.1: documented this. * Dh_lib.pm: added compat(), pass in a number, it returns true if the current compatibility level is equal to that number. * doc/PROGRAMMING: documented that. * debhelper itself now builds using DH_COMPAT=2. * dh_debstd forces DH_COMPAT=1, because it needs to stay compatible with debstd after all. -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Jul 1999 13:37:58 -0700 debhelper (1.9.00) unstable; urgency=low * This is a release of debhelper in preparation for debhelper v2. * doc/v2: added, documented status of v2 changes. * README: mention doc/v2 * debhelper.1: docuimented DH_COMPAT * examples/*: added DH_COMAPT=1 to top of rules files -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Jul 1999 13:16:41 -0700 debhelper (1.2.83) unstable; urgency=medium * dh_perl: fixed substvars typo. Urgency medium since a lot of people will be using this script RSN. -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Jul 1999 11:44:05 -0700 debhelper (1.2.82) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter. This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install more than 1 init script. -- Joey Hess Fri, 25 Jun 1999 11:38:05 -0700 debhelper (1.2.81) unstable; urgency=low * dh_link: fixed bug #40159 and added a regression test for it. It was failing if it was given absolute filenames. -- Joey Hess Fri, 25 Jun 1999 10:12:44 -0700 debhelper (1.2.80) unstable; urgency=low * Changed perl version detection. * Changed call to find. -- Joey Hess Thu, 24 Jun 1999 16:48:53 -0700 debhelper (1.2.79) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_perl by Raphael Hertzog . dh_perl handles finding dependancies of perl scripts, plus deleting those annoying .packlist files. * I don't think dh_perl is going to be useful until the new version of perl comes out. -- Joey Hess Thu, 24 Jun 1999 14:47:55 -0700 debhelper (1.2.78) unstable; urgency=low * Really include dh_installpam. -- Joey Hess Tue, 15 Jun 1999 09:00:36 -0700 debhelper (1.2.77) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installpam: new program by Sean * Wrote man page for same. -- Joey Hess Fri, 11 Jun 1999 13:08:04 -0700 debhelper (1.2.76) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail. (Closes: #38911) -- Joey Hess Mon, 7 Jun 1999 20:20:01 -0700 debhelper (1.2.75) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installemacsen: fixed perms of install, remove scripts. (closes: #39082) -- Joey Hess Mon, 7 Jun 1999 14:42:12 -0700 debhelper (1.2.74) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them. This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673) * The previous fix to dh_installemacsen was actually quite necessary - the x bit was being set! -- Joey Hess Thu, 3 Jun 1999 15:14:27 -0700 debhelper (1.2.73) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installemacsen: make sure files are installed mode 0644. Not strictly necessary since dh_fixperms fixes them if you have a wacky umask, but oh well. (Closes: 38900) -- Joey Hess Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:50:42 -0700 debhelper (1.2.72) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installemacsen: use debian/package.emacsen-startup, not debian/package.emacsen-init.

The links generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774) * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests. * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl. * dh_installchangelogs: force all installed files to be owned by root (#37655). -- Joey Hess Sun, 16 May 1999 17:18:44 -0700 debhelper (1.2.67) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmodules: fixed type that made the program not work. -- Joey Hess Wed, 12 May 1999 00:25:05 -0700 debhelper (1.2.66) unstable; urgency=low * examples/rules.multi: dh_shlibdeps must be run before dh_gencontrol (#37346) -- Joey Hess Sun, 9 May 1999 14:03:05 -0700 debhelper (1.2.65) unstable; urgency=low * Added to docs. -- Joey Hess Thu, 6 May 1999 21:46:03 -0700 debhelper (1.2.64) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmime: new command (#37093, #32684). -- Joey Hess Mon, 3 May 1999 13:37:34 -0700 debhelper (1.2.63) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installxaw: updated to work with xaw-wrappers 0.90 and above.

Added --flavor and --number to control details of installation. (#36832) -- Joey Hess Sun, 2 May 1999 15:31:58 -0700 debhelper (1.2.61) unstable; urgency=low * dh_md5sums.1: dh_md5sums is not deprecated, AFAIK, but the manpage has somehow been modified to say it was at version 1.2.45. -- Joey Hess Mon, 26 Apr 1999 19:54:04 -0700 debhelper (1.2.60) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installexamples.1: recycled docs fix. -- Joey Hess Mon, 26 Apr 1999 17:19:07 -0700 debhelper (1.2.59) unstable; urgency=low * dh_builddeb: added --destdir option, which lets you tell it where to put the generated .deb's. Default is .. of course. -- Joey Hess Thu, 22 Apr 1999 22:02:01 -0700 debhelper (1.2.58) unstable; urgency=low * autoscripts/postinst-suid: use /#FILE# in elif test (#36297). -- Joey Hess Sun, 18 Apr 1999 22:33:52 -0700 debhelper (1.2.57) unstable; urgency=low * examples/*: killed trailing spaces after diff: target -- Joey Hess Mon, 12 Apr 1999 22:02:32 -0700 debhelper (1.2.56) unstable; urgency=low * dh_suidregister: make the chown/chmod only happen if the file actually exists.

(#35845) -- Joey Hess Sat, 10 Apr 1999 13:35:23 -0700 debhelper (1.2.55) unstable; urgency=low * Various man page enhancements. * dh_md5sums: supports -X to make it skip including files in the md5sums (#35819). -- Joey Hess Fri, 9 Apr 1999 18:21:58 -0700 debhelper (1.2.54) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installinit.1: man page fixups (#34160). * *.1: the date of each man page is now automatically updated when debhelper is built to be the last modification time of the man page. -- Joey Hess Thu, 8 Apr 1999 20:28:00 -0700 debhelper (1.2.53) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. Previously trying to compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail. Probably fixes #35677. Actually, it now skips files with a whole range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and "-gz". * dh_compress.1: updated docs to reflect this, and to give the new suggested starting point if you want to write your own debian/compress file. -- Joey Hess Wed, 7 Apr 1999 02:20:14 -0700 debhelper (1.2.52) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmodules: new program, closes #32546. -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Apr 1999 17:25:37 -0800 debhelper (1.2.51) unstable; urgency=low * Another very minor typo fix. -- Joey Hess Thu, 1 Apr 1999 14:04:02 -0800 debhelper (1.2.50) unstable; urgency=low * Very minor typo fix. -- Joey Hess Fri, 26 Mar 1999 17:27:01 -0800 debhelper (1.2.49) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: if called with -X, was attempting to change permissions of even symlinks. This could have even caused it to follow the symlinks and modify files on the build system in some cases. Ignores them now.

This can legitimatly happen if you are upgrading the menu package, and it makes postinsts that use command fail. Reverted to using test -x. Packages built with debhelper >= 1.2.21 that use menus should be rebuilt. -- Joey Hess Sat, 16 Jan 1999 13:47:16 -0800 debhelper (1.2.24) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files. Since this no longer happens implicitly, I've changed to clearing the bits explicitly. * There's also a small behavior change involved here. Before, dh_fixperms did not clear suid permissions on files that were already owned by root. Now it does. * dh_fixperms.1: cleaned up the docs to mention that those bits are cleared. -- Joey Hess Fri, 15 Jan 1999 16:54:44 -0800 debhelper (1.2.23) unstable; urgency=low * autoscripts/postrm-wm: use "=", not "==" (#31727). -- Joey Hess Mon, 11 Jan 1999 13:35:00 -0800 debhelper (1.2.22) unstable; urgency=low * Reversed change in last version; don't clobber mode (#31628). -- Joey Hess Fri, 8 Jan 1999 15:01:25 -0800 debhelper (1.2.21) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/.doc-base exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this, you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper. * dh_installdocs: now supports -n to make it not modify postinst/prerm. * dh_suidregister: turned off leading 0/1 in permissions settings, until suidregister actually supports it. * autoscripts/*: instead of "text -x", use "command -v" to see if various binaries exist. This gets rid of lots of hard-coded paths. -- Joey Hess Wed, 30 Dec 1998 22:50:04 -0500 debhelper (1.2.20) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: handle the hard link stuff properly, it was broken. Also faster now. -- Joey Hess Wed, 23 Dec 1998 19:53:03 -0500 debhelper (1.2.19) unstable; urgency=low * dh_listpackages: new command. Takes the standard options taken by other debhelper commands, and just outputs a list of the binary packages a debhelper command would act on. Added because of bug #30626, and because of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and because it's just 4 lines of code ;-). * dh_compress: is now smart about compressing files that are hardlinks. When possible, will only compress one file, delete the hardlinks, and re-make hardlinks to the compressed file, saving some disk space. -- Joey Hess Fri, 18 Dec 1998 22:26:41 -0500 debhelper (1.2.18) unstable; urgency=medium * dh_fixperms: was not fixing permissions of files in usr/doc/ to 644, this has been broken since version 1.2.3. -- Joey Hess Sun, 6 Dec 1998 23:35:35 -0800 debhelper (1.2.17) unstable; urgency=low * dh_makeshlibs: relaxed regexp to find library name and number a little so it will work on libraries with a major but no minor version in their filename (examples of such: libtcl8.0.so.1, libBLT-unoff.so.1) * dh_movefiles: added --sourcedir option to make it move files out of some directory besides debian/tmp (#30221) -- Joey Hess Fri, 4 Dec 1998 13:56:57 -0800 debhelper (1.2.16) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installchangelogs: now detects html changelogs and installs them as changelog.html.gz, to comply with latest policy (which I disagree with BTW). * manpages: updated policy version numbers. * dh_installdocs: behavior change: all docs are now installed mode 644. I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any effect, either. (#30118) -- Joey Hess Thu, 3 Dec 1998 23:31:56 -0800 debhelper (1.2.15) unstable; urgency=low * Just a re-upload, last upload failed for some obscure reason. -- Joey Hess Sun, 29 Nov 1998 13:07:44 -0800 debhelper (1.2.14) unstable; urgency=low * Really fixed #29762 this time. This also fixes #30025, which asked that dh_makeshlibs come before dh_shlibdeps, so the files it generates can also be used as a shlibs.local file, which will be used by dh_shlibdeps. -- Joey Hess Thu, 29 Oct 1998 04:00:14 -0800 debhelper (1.2.13) unstable; urgency=low * Spelling and typo fixes. -- Joey Hess Wed, 25 Nov 1998 15:23:55 -0800 debhelper (1.2.12) unstable; urgency=low * examples/*: moved dh_makeshlibs call to before dh_installdeb call. (#29762). This is just so if you replace dh_makeshlibs with something that generates debian/shlibs, it still gets installed properly. * dh_suidregister: use names instead of uid's and gid's, at request of suidregister maintainer (#29802). -- Joey Hess Sat, 21 Nov 1998 13:13:10 -0800 debhelper (1.2.11) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: if given absolute filenames to move (note that that is *wrong*), it will move relative files anyway. Related to bug #29761. * dh_link: made relative links work right. (I hope!) -- Joey Hess Fri, 20 Nov 1998 20:21:51 -0800 debhelper (1.2.10) unstable; urgency=low * examples/*: added dh_link calls to example rules files. -- Joey Hess Fri, 20 Nov 1998 15:43:07 -0800 debhelper (1.2.9) unstable; urgency=low * Added dh_link, which generates policy complient symlinks in binary packages, painlessly. -- Joey Hess Thu, 19 Nov 1998 18:43:36 -0800 debhelper (1.2.8) unstable; urgency=low * Suggest dh-make (#29376). -- Joey Hess Wed, 18 Nov 1998 02:29:47 -0800 debhelper (1.2.7) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: Fixed another bug. -- Joey Hess Mon, 16 Nov 1998 12:53:05 -0800 debhelper (1.2.6) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: fixed non-integer comparison (#29476) -- Joey Hess Sun, 15 Nov 1998 13:03:09 -0800 debhelper (1.2.5) unstable; urgency=low * The perl conversion is complete. . * dh_compress: perlized (yay, perl has readlink, no more ls -l | awk garbage!) * dh_lib, dh_getopt.pl: deleted, nothing uses them anymore. * debian/rules: don't install above 2 files. * doc/PROGRAMMING: removed all documentation of the old shell library interface. -- Joey Hess Fri, 13 Nov 1998 15:36:57 -0800 debhelper (1.2.4) unstable; urgency=low * dh_debstd, dh_movefiles: perlized. * dh_debstd: fixed -c option. * dh_installinit: fixed minor perl -w warning. * Only 1 shell script remains! (But it's a doozy..) -- Joey Hess Fri, 13 Nov 1998 13:29:39 -0800 debhelper (1.2.3) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms, dh_installdebfiles, dh_installdeb: perlized * dh_suidregister: perlized, with help from Che_Fox (and Tom Christianson, indirectly..). * dh_suidregister: include leading 0 (or 1 for sticky, etc) in file permissions. * Only 3 more to go and it'll be 100% perl. * Made $dh{EXCLUDE_FIND} available to perl scripts. -- Joey Hess Tue, 10 Nov 1998 15:47:43 -0800 debhelper (1.2.2) unstable; urgency=low * dh_du, dh_shlibdeps, dh_undocumented: rewrite in perl. * dh_undocumented: shortened the symlink used for section 7 undocumented man pages, since it can link to undocuemented.7.gz in the same directory. -- Joey Hess Tue, 10 Nov 1998 13:40:22 -0800 debhelper (1.2.1) unstable; urgency=low * dh_strip, dh_installinit: rewrite in perl. -- Joey Hess Mon, 9 Nov 1998 20:04:12 -0800 debhelper (1.2.0) unstable; urgency=low * A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2. * dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.) * dh_installmenu, dh_installemacsen, dh_installwm: perlized. * Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work. -- Joey Hess Mon, 9 Nov 1998 13:04:16 -0800 debhelper (1.1.24) unstable; urgency=low * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers. -- Joey Hess Tue, 27 Oct 1998 18:19:48 -0800 debhelper (1.1.23) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: At the suggestion of James Troup now deletes files named *.P in .deps/ subdirectories. They are generated by automake. -- Joey Hess Sat, 24 Oct 1998 15:14:53 -0700 debhelper (1.1.22) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: quoting fix from Roderick Schertler * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971) -- 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 pacges specified on command line to skip, for backwards compatibility. -- Joey Hess Thu, 10 Sep 1998 11:31:42 -0700 debhelper (1.1.18) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installemacsen: substitute package name for #PACKAGE# when setting up postinst and prerm (#26560). -- Joey Hess Tue, 8 Sep 1998 14:24:30 -0700 debhelper (1.1.17) unstable; urgency=low * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note sections of shared libraries. * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do things you don't want them to. * Made -N properly exclude packages when no -i, -a, or -p flags are present. It didn't before, which was a bug. -- Joey Hess Mon, 7 Sep 1998 17:33:19 -0700 debhelper (1.1.16) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: remove execute bits from static libraries as well as shared libraries. (#26414) -- Joey Hess Fri, 4 Sep 1998 14:46:37 -0700 debhelper (1.1.15) unstable; urgency=medium * dh_installmanpages: the new perl version had a nasty habit of installing .so.x library files as man pages. Fixed. * dh_installmanpages: the code to exclude searching for man pages in debian/tmp directories was broken. Fixed. -- 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. Allows me to fix bug #26221 (long symlink problem after .so conversion), and is about twice as fast. -- Joey Hess Sat, 29 Aug 1998 22:06:06 -0700 debhelper (1.1.12) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs: forgot to pass package name to isnative(). Any native debian package that had a debian/TODO would have it installed with the wrong name, and debhelper would warn of undefined values for some packages. Fixed. -- Joey Hess Thu, 27 Aug 1998 12:35:42 -0700 debhelper (1.1.11) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installchangelogs: added -k flag, that will make it install a symlink to the original name of the upstream changelog. -- Joey Hess Thu, 20 Aug 1998 15:40:40 -0700 debhelper (1.1.10) unstable; urgency=low * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper). I apologize for the inconvenience. * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't remove debian/files properly. * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl. * Encode the version of debhelper in a sepererate file, so dh_testversion doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built. * Removed bogus menu file. -- Joey Hess Mon, 17 Aug 1998 14:15:17 -0700 debhelper (1.1.9) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: has been removing the +x bits of all doc/*/examples/* files since version 0.97 or so. 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 equivilant 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). Thanks to Branden Robinson for looking that up. -- Joey Hess Tue, 11 Aug 1998 23:32:05 -0700 debhelper (1.1.6) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: don't die on symlinks (#25642). (Hope I got the fix right this time..) -- Joey Hess Tue, 11 Aug 1998 20:11:13 -0700 debhelper (1.1.5) unstable; urgency=low * dh_builddeb, dh_installchangelogs: converted to perl. * dh_installdirs: converted to perl, getting rid of nasty chdir en-route. * dh_installdirs: now you can use absolute directory names too if you prefer. * doc/PROGRAMMING: updated to cover new perl modules. * Dh_Lib.pm: doit(): when printing out commands that have run, escape metacharacters in the output. I probably don't escape out all the characters I should, but this is just a convenience to the user anyway. * dh_installdebfiles: it's been broken forever, I fixed it. Obviously nobody uses it anymore, which is good, since it's deprected :-) -- 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: accidentially 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: removed get_arch_indep_packages() function that hasn't been used at all for a long while. * Added Dh_Lib.pm, a translation of dh_lib into perl. * dh_getopt.pl: moved most of it into new Dh_Getopt.pm module, rewriting large chunks in the process. * dh_installdocs: completly rewritten in perl. Now it's faster and it can install many oddly named files it died on before. * dh_installdocs: fixed a bug that installed TODO files mode 655 in native debian packages. -- 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 debheper man pages to refer to debhelper(1) where appropriate. Also corrected a host of little errors. * doc/README: moved a lot of this file into debhelper.1. * dh_*: -N option now excludes a package from the list of packages the programs act on. (#25247) -- Joey Hess Sat, 8 Aug 1998 17:49:56 -0700 debhelper (1.0) stable unstable; urgency=low * 1.0 at last! * This relelase is not really intended for stable. I throw a copy into stable-updates because I want it to be available as an upgrade for people using debian 2.0 (the current version in debian 2.0 has no critical bugs, but this version is of course a lot nicer), and I plan to start work on a new branch of debhelper that will fix many wishlist bug reports, and of course introduce many new bugs, and which will go into unstable only. -- 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#.

(#25197) -- Joey Hess Thu, 30 Jul 1998 10:38:34 -0700 debhelper (0.99.1) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installcron: now supports /etc/cron.d (#25112). -- Joey Hess Mon, 27 Jul 1998 20:18:47 -0700 debhelper (0.99) unstable; urgency=low * !!!! WARNING: Debhelper (specifically dh_compress) is broken with !!!! libtricks. Use fakeroot instead until this is fixed. * dh_compress: applied patch from Herbert Xu to make it not fail if there are no candidates for compression (#24654). * Removed a whole debhelper-0.96 tree that had crept into the source package by accident. * Is version 1.0 next? -- Joey Hess Thu, 16 Jul 1998 10:03:21 -0700 debhelper (0.98) unstable; urgency=low * dh_lib: isnative: pass -l to dpkg-parsechangelog, to support odd packages with multiple different debian changelogs. * doc/PROGRAMMING: cleaned up the docs on DH_EXCLUDE_FIND. -- Joey Hess Mon, 6 Jul 1998 12:45:13 -0700 debhelper (0.97) unstable; urgency=low * doc/from-debstd: fixed a typo. * examples/*: install-stamp no longer depends on phony build targey; now install-stamp depends on build-stamp instead (#24234). * dh_fixperms: applied patch from Herbert Xu to fix bad uses of the find command, so it should now work on packages with files with spaces in them (#22005). It's also much cleaner. Thanks, Herbert! * dh_getopt.pl, doc/PROGRAMMING: added DH_EXCLUDE_FIND, to make the above fix work. -- 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 strangly named files.

Oh well.. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Jun 1998 17:16:17 -0700 debhelper (0.94) unstable; urgency=low * dh_md5sums: fixed so it handles spaces and other odd characters in filenames correctly. (#23046, #23700, #22010) * As a side effect, got rid of the nasty temporary file dh_md5sums used before. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Jun 1998 16:14:42 -0700 debhelper (0.93) unstable; urgency=low * Depend on file, since several dh_*'s use it. -- Joey Hess Fri, 19 Jun 1998 21:43:51 -0700 debhelper (0.92) unstable; urgency=low * dh_gencontrol: pass -isp to dpkg-gencontrol to make it include section and priority info in the .deb file. Back in Jan 1998, this came up, and a consensus was reached on debian-devel that it was a good thing for -isp to be used. -- 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 completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release debhelper 1.0! * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd to debhelper. * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their permissions changed. * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase some people enjoy changing root's name. * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files, for backwards compatibility with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two files are treated identically. * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function. * Minor man page fixes. * dh_compress: don't bomb out if usr/doc/ is empty. (#23054) * dh_compress, dh_installdirs: always cd into $TMP and back out, even if --no-act is on. (#23054) -- Joey Hess Mon, 1 Jun 1998 21:57:45 -0400 debhelper (0.88) unstable; urgency=low * I had many hours on a train to hack on debhelper... enjoy! * dh_compress: always pass -f to gzip, to force compression. * dh_compress: added -X switch, to make it easy to specify files to exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can use -X multiple times, too. * PROGRAMMING, dh_getopt.pl: DH_EXCLUDE is now a variable set by the --exclude (-X) switch. -x now sets DH_INCLUDE_CONFFILES. -- 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.

Eliminates warning messages in some cases, shouldn't actually change the result at all. -- Joey Hess Mon, 27 Apr 1998 15:21:33 -0700 debhelper (0.85) unstable; urgency=low * Moved a few things around that were broken by Che's patch: - dh_installdirs should go in install target. - dh_clean should not run in binary targets. * This is just a quick fix to make it work, I'm not happy with it. I'm going to discuss my problems with it with Che, and either make a new version fixing them, or revert to 0.83. * So be warned that the example rules files are not currently in good shape if you're starting a new package. -- Joey Hess Sat, 18 Apr 1998 23:30:38 -0700 debhelper (0.84) unstable; urgency=low * Applied Che_Fox'x patches to example rules files, which makes them use an install target internally to move things into place in debian/tmp. -- Joey Hess Thu, 9 Apr 1998 12:08:45 -0700 debhelper (0.83) unstable; urgency=low * Generate symlinks in build stage of debian/rules. cvs cannot create them properly. Note that version 0.80 and 0.81 could not build some packages because of missing symlinks. -- Joey Hess Tue, 31 Mar 1998 19:27:29 -0800 debhelper (0.81) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: empty $tomove (#20495). -- Joey Hess Tue, 31 Mar 1998 15:36:32 -0800 debhelper (0.80) unstable; urgency=low * Moved under cvs (so I can fork a stable and an unstable version). * dh_movefiles: first move real files, then move symlinks. (#18220) Thanks to Bdale Garbee 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. Steigies. (I ignored the spelling fixes to the changelog, though - too many, and a changelog isn't meant to be changed after the fact :-) * dh_fixperms: remove execute bits from .la files genrated by libtool. -- Joey Hess Mon, 30 Mar 1998 12:44:42 -0800 debhelper (0.77) frozen unstable; urgency=low * Fixed a nasty bug in dh_makeshlibs when it was called with -V, but with no version string after the -V. -- Joey Hess Sun, 29 Mar 1998 16:08:27 -0800 debhelper (0.76) frozen unstable; urgency=low * I intended version 0.75 to make it in before the freeze, and it did not.

Corrected this. * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure no packages use the old behavior. -- Joey Hess Mon, 9 Mar 1998 11:46:59 -0800 debhelper (0.70) unstable; urgency=low * dh_lib: autoscript(): no longer add the modification date to the comments aurrounding debhelper-added code.

(#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.

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.

(#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.

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