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.

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: #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 compatability 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: #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 compatability 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 compatability, 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Closes: #77154 Patch from Masato Taruishi (modified). If you use this, be sure dh_makeshlibs runs before dh_installdeb; many old rules files have the ordering backwards. - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as conffiles. - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages. Closes: #34628 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with caution.. * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago.

That development stalled after only the most important change was made, although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree. In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without notice until v2 is complete. * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-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.

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.

This is useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't otherwise change the result at all. * doc/TODO: - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper.

This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without fiddling to get the quoting right, etc. -- Joey Hess Tue, 23 Nov 1999 11:36:15 -0800 debhelper (2.0.73) unstable; urgency=low * Actually, debhelper build-depends on perl-5.005. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Nov 1999 21:43:55 -0800 debhelper (2.0.72) unstable; urgency=low * Corrected slash substitution problem in dh_installwm. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Nov 1999 21:43:47 -0800 debhelper (2.0.71) unstable; urgency=low * Oh, the build dependancies include all of debhelper's regular dependancies as well, since it builds using itself. -- Joey Hess Fri, 5 Nov 1999 14:14:26 -0800 debhelper (2.0.70) unstable; urgency=low * Added build dependancies to this package. That was easy; it just uses perl5 for regression testing, the rest of its build-deps are things in base. * dh_version.1: Added note that this program is quickly becoming obsolete. * doc/README, doc/from-debstd: Added reminders that if you use debhelper, you need to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line. -- Joey Hess Thu, 4 Nov 1999 21:24:37 -0800 debhelper (2.0.69) unstable; urgency=low * dh_shlibdeps: added -l option, which lets you specify a path that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is then set to when dpkg-shlibdeps is run. This should make it easier for library packages that also build binary packages to be built with correct dependancies. Closes: #36751 * In honor of Burn all GIFs Day (hi Don!), I added alternative image formats .png, .jpg (and .jpeg) to the list of extensions dh_compress does not compress. Closes: #41733 * Also, made all extensions dh_compress skips be looked at case insensitively. * dh_movefiles: force owner and group of installed files to be root. Closes: #46039 * Closes: #42650, #47175 -- they've been fixed forever. -- Joey Hess Thu, 4 Nov 1999 15:05:59 -0800 debhelper (2.0.68) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installxfonts: Patch from Anthony Wong to fix directory searching.

Closes: #48315 -- Joey Hess Mon, 25 Oct 1999 14:24:03 -0700 debhelper (2.0.63) unstable; urgency=low * Removed install-stamp cruft in all example rules files. Closes: #47175 -- Joey Hess Tue, 12 Oct 1999 14:23:09 -0700 debhelper (2.0.62) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed problem with dh_installemacsen options not working, patch from Rafael Laboissiere , Closes: #47738 * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu . Closes: #46684 I made some changes, though: - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl. - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since that is a clear violation of policy. - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency. - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway. - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some. - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-) - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories as I can. - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g -- Joey Hess Sun, 24 Oct 1999 15:30:53 -0700 debhelper (2.0.61) unstable; urgency=low * Clarified rules.multi2 comment. Closes: #46828 -- Joey Hess Sat, 9 Oct 1999 18:21:02 -0700 debhelper (2.0.60) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: After compressing an executable, changes the file mode to 644. Executable .gz files are silly. Closes: #46383 -- Joey Hess Wed, 6 Oct 1999 13:05:14 -0700 debhelper (2.0.59) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs: if $TMP/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE is a broken symlink, leaves it alone, assumming that the maintainer knows what they're doing and is probably linking to the doc dir of another package. (Closes: #46183) -- Joey Hess Mon, 4 Oct 1999 16:27:28 -0700 debhelper (2.0.58) unstable; urgency=low * Dh_Lib.pm: fixed bug in xargs() that made boundry words be skipped. -- Joey Hess Sun, 3 Oct 1999 18:55:29 -0700 debhelper (2.0.57) unstable; urgency=low * Added note to man pages of commands that use autoscript to note they are not idempotent. -- Joey Hess Fri, 1 Oct 1999 13:18:20 -0700 debhelper (2.0.56) unstable; urgency=low * Fiddlesticks. The neat make trick I was using in rules.multi2 failed if you try to build binary-indep and binary-arch targets in the same make run. Make tries to be too smart. Modified the file so it will work, though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target. Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-* target is called twice by hand, you get duplicate entries in the maintainer script fragment files. Closes: #46313 -- Joey Hess Thu, 30 Sep 1999 12:01:40 -0700 debhelper (2.0.55) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed quoting problem in examples/rules.multi (Closes: #46254) -- Joey Hess Wed, 29 Sep 1999 12:06:59 -0700 debhelper (2.0.54) unstable; urgency=low * Enhanced debconf support -- the database is now cleaned up on package purge. * Broke all debconf support off into a dh_installdebconf script. This seems conceptually a little cleaner. -- Joey Hess Tue, 28 Sep 1999 16:12:53 -0700 debhelper (2.0.53) unstable; urgency=low * Minor changes to rules.multi2. -- Joey Hess Mon, 27 Sep 1999 13:57:17 -0700 debhelper (2.0.52) unstable; urgency=low * dh_movefiles: if the wildcards in the filelist expand to nothing, don't do anything, rather than crashing. -- Joey Hess Thu, 23 Sep 1999 15:18:00 -0700 debhelper (2.0.51) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs: create the compatability symlink before calling install-docs. I'm told this is better in some cases. (Closes: #45608) * examples/rules.multi2: clarified what you have to comment/uncomment. -- Joey Hess Mon, 20 Sep 1999 12:43:09 -0700 debhelper (2.0.50) unstable; urgency=medium * Oops. Fixed dh_shlibdeps so it actually generates dependancies, broke in last version. -- Joey Hess Sat, 18 Sep 1999 19:00:10 -0700 debhelper (2.0.49) unstable; urgency=low * dh_shlibdeps: detect statically linked binaries and don't pass them to dpkg-shlibdeps. * dh_installdeb: debconf support. -- Joey Hess Fri, 17 Sep 1999 00:28:59 -0700 debhelper (2.0.48) unstable; urgency=low * 4 whole days without a debhelper upload! Can't let that happen. Let's see.. * dh_installperl.1: explain what you have to put in your control file for the dependancies to be generated. -- Joey Hess Thu, 16 Sep 1999 21:15:05 -0700 debhelper (2.0.47) unstable; urgency=low * dh_undocumented: installs links for X11 man pages to the undocumented.7 page in /usr/share/man. (Closes: #44909) -- Joey Hess Sun, 12 Sep 1999 13:12:34 -0700 debhelper (2.0.46) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installemacsen: the script fragments it generates now test for the existance of emacs-package-install/remove before calling them. Though a strict reading of the emacsen policy indicates that such a test shouldn't be needed, there may be edge cases (cf bug 44924), where it is. -- Joey Hess Sun, 12 Sep 1999 12:54:37 -0700 debhelper (2.0.45) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installdocs.1: clarified how the doc-id is determined. Closes: #44864 * dh_makeshlibs: will now overwrite existing debian/tmp/DEBIAN/shlibs files, instead of erroring out. (Closes: #44828) -- Joey Hess Sat, 11 Sep 1999 13:15:33 -0700 debhelper (2.0.44) unstable; urgency=low * dh_compress: fixed #ARGV bug (again) Closes: #44853 -- Joey Hess Sat, 11 Sep 1999 13:04:15 -0700 debhelper (2.0.43) unstable; urgency=low * Corrected example rules files, which had some messed up targets. -- Joey Hess Thu, 9 Sep 1999 11:22:09 -0700 debhelper (2.0.42) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installinfo: failed pretty miserably if the info file's section contained '/' characters. Doesn't now. -- Joey Hess Mon, 6 Sep 1999 16:33:13 -0700 debhelper (2.0.41) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installinfo: use FHS info dir. 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. 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). (Closes: #41862) -- Joey Hess Mon, 26 Jul 1999 13:00:09 -0700 debhelper (2.0.17) unstable; urgency=low * dh_clean: compat() wasn't exported. -- Joey Hess Wed, 21 Jul 1999 12:49:52 -0700 debhelper (2.0.16) unstable; urgency=low * Dh_lib.pm: when looking for debhelper files in debian/, test with -f, not with -e, because it might fail if you're building a package named, say, 'docs', with a temp dir of debian/docs. 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. (Closes: #41173) -- Joey Hess Mon, 12 Jul 1999 11:49:57 -0700 debhelper (2.0.13) unstable; urgency=low * dh_fixperms: FHS fixes (#41058) -- Joey Hess Fri, 9 Jul 1999 13:07:49 -0700 debhelper (2.0.12) unstable; urgency=low * dh_installinfo: fixed #SECTION# substitution. -- Joey Hess Wed, 7 Jul 1999 17:51:59 -0700 debhelper (2.0.11) unstable; urgency=low * At long, long last, dh_installinfo is written. 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}.

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. Few packages will really need this. (Closes: #40631) -- Joey Hess Fri, 2 Jul 1999 11:22:00 -0700 debhelper (2.0.03) unstable; urgency=low * Depend on file >= 2.23-1, because dh_perl uses file -b, introduced at that version.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's also much cleaner.

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 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.

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

(#18220) Thanks to Bdale Garbee and Adam Heath for help on the implementation. * dh_installchangelogs: use debian/package.changelog files if they exist rather than debian/changelog. It appears some people do need per-package changelogs. * dh_gencontrol: if debian/package.changelogs files exist, use them. * Above 2 changes close #20442. -- Joey Hess Mon, 30 Mar 1998 20:54:26 -0800 debhelper (0.78) frozen unstable; urgency=low * More spelling fixes from Christian T.

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.

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. (#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. This is a snapshot of my work so far, and it not yet ready to replace debstd. -- Joey Hess Mon, 22 Sep 1997 15:01:25 -0400
