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-compatabile 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 belive 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.

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 compatability 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.

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.

In v1 mode, we shouldn't remove it because we may only be acting on a single package.

(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}.

Added a note about that to doc/v2. * Dh_Lib.pm compat: if a version that is greater than the highest supported compatability 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 compatability 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 compatable 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.

Necessary because the -R methods will happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

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.

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.

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

This can 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.

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.

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 compatability. -- 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.

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).

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.

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.

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 compatability 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.

(#22395) -- Joey Hess Wed, 13 May 1998 11:54:29 -0700 debhelper (0.86) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: don't try to re-compress *.gz files. Eliminates warning messages in some cases, shouldn't actually change the result at all. -- 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.

(#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.

(#19227) * Documented this new switch. -- Joey Hess Mon, 9 Mar 1998 17:12:04 -0800 debhelper (0.71) unstable; urgency=low * dh_makeshlibs: -V flag was broken: if just -V was specified, dh_makeshlibs would die. Corrected this. * dh_lib: removed warning if the arguments passed to a debhelper command do not apply to the main package. It's been long enough so I'm 100% sure no packages use the old behavior. -- 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.

If you use this behavior, you should use "dh_testversion 0.66". -- Joey Hess Mon, 2 Mar 1998 17:50:29 -0800 debhelper (0.65) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs.1, dh_movefiles.1: clarified documentation for Che. -- Joey Hess Mon, 2 Mar 1998 17:20:39 -0800 debhelper (0.64) unstable; urgency=low * Removed some junk (a whole old debhelper source tree!) that had gotten into the source package by accident. -- Joey Hess Mon, 23 Feb 1998 20:23:34 -0800 debhelper (0.63) unstable; urgency=low * Removed some debugging output from dh_installmanpages. * du_du: no longer does anything, becuase it has been decided on debian-policy that du control files are bad. * examples/*: removed dh_du calls. * debian/rules: removed dh_du call. * Modified dh_gencontrol, dh_makeshlibs, and dh_md5sums to generate files with the correct permissions even if the umask is set to unusual values. (#18283) -- 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.

(#17598) -- Joey Hess Sun, 1 Feb 1998 14:51:08 -0800 debhelper (0.58) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed bug #17597 - DH_VERBOSE wasn'talways taking effect. -- Joey Hess Wed, 28 Jan 1998 17:18:17 -0500 debhelper (0.57) unstable; urgency=low * Depend on perl 5.004 or greater (for Getopt::Long). -- Joey Hess Sat, 17 Jan 1998 02:12:06 -0500 debhelper (0.56) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: Applied patch from Yann Dirson , to make it not abort of one of the find's fails. -- Joey Hess Thu, 15 Jan 1998 19:16:48 -0500 debhelper (0.55) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: delete substvarsfiles probperly again (broken in 0.53). #17077 * Added call to dh_movefiles, and a commented out call to dh_testversion, to some of the sample rules files. #17076 -- Joey Hess Wed, 14 Jan 1998 12:48:43 -0500 debhelper (0.54) unstable; urgency=low * dh_lib: no longer call getopt(1) to parse options. I wrote my own argument processor in perl. * Added long versions of all arguments. TODO: document them. * All parameters may now be passed values that include whitespace (ie, dh_installinit -u"defaults 10") * Now depends on perl (needs Getopt::Long). -- Joey Hess Sat, 10 Jan 1998 15:44:09 -0500 debhelper (0.53) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installmanpages: ignore all man pages installed into debian/tmp type directories. (#16933) * dh_*: set up alternative name for files like debian/dirs; you may now use debian/.dirs too, for consistency. (#16934) * dh_installdocs: if a debian/package.copyright file exists, use it in preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights are supported. (#16935) * Added dh_movefiles, which moves files out of debian/tmp into subpackages. (#16932) -- Joey Hess Sat, 10 Jan 1998 11:30:12 -0500 debhelper (0.52) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: compress file belongs in debian/.

(#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 compatability 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.

(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.
