Currently, v3 is still -being worked on, and will change in drastic ways without notice. This -*will* break packages that use it, so don't, unless you like riding the -bleeding edge. - -To enable debhelper v3 features (do this with *caution*), set DH_COMPAT=3 in -your debian/rules. Also, it is a very good idea to add a call to your -debian/rules like this: - dh_testversion 2 -To ensure that your package won't be built with some old version of -debhelper that ignores the DH_COMPAT flag. - -Here are the changes I'm planning to make to debhelper for v3, based on -prior discussion on debian-devel. - -Items marked with a + are done. All others will happen as soon as I can code -them. - -* dh_installmanpages will be made into a non-DWIM program, so you'll have to - specify all man pages to install and possibly where to put them. This may - look something like: - dh_installmanpages -x xterm.1 xfoo.1 xbar.man - dh_installmanpages --section=8 su.man - Ok, there's a _little_ DWIM left in there, it'll be smart enough to munge - the .man filenames properly. It'll probably just assume all man pages have - an extension, and delete that extentation, and add the correct one. - -+ Every file in etc/ is automatically flagged as a conffile by dh_installdeb. - -+ Debhelper config files support globbing via * and ?, when - appropriate. To turn this off and use those characters raw, just prefix - with a backspash. - -+ dh_makeshlibs generates autoscript fragments for ldconfig. This will - require you call it before dh_installdeb. (Many old debian/rules scripts - call it after.) -- cgit v1.2.3
