=head1 NAME
debhelper-obsolete-compat - List of no longer supported compat levels
=head1 SYNOPSIS
This document contains the upgrade guidelines from all compat levels
which are no longer supported. Accordingly it is mostly for
historical purposes and to assist people upgrading from a
non-supported compat level to a supported level.
For upgrades from supported compat levels, please see L<debhelper(7)>.
=head1 UPGRADE LIST FOR COMPAT LEVELS
The following is the list of now obsolete compat levels and their
changes.
=over 4
=item v1
This is the original debhelper compatibility level, and so it is the default
one. In this mode, debhelper will use F<debian/tmp> as the package tree
directory for the first binary package listed in the control file, while using
debian/I<package> for all other packages listed in the F<control> file.
This mode is deprecated.
=item v2
In this mode, debhelper will consistently use debian/I<package>
as the package tree directory for every package that is built.
This mode is deprecated.
=item v3
This mode works like v2, with the following additions:
=over 8
=item -
Debhelper config files support globbing via B<*> and B<?>, when appropriate. To
turn this off and use those characters raw, just prefix with a backslash.
=item -
B<dh_makeshlibs> makes the F<postinst> and F<postrm> scripts call B<ldconfig>.
=item -
Every file in F<etc/> is automatically flagged as a conffile by B<dh_installdeb>.
=back
This mode is deprecated.
=item v4
Changes from v3 are:
=over 8
=item -
B<dh_makeshlibs -V> will not include the Debian part of the version number in
the generated dependency line in the shlibs file.
=item -
You are encouraged to put the new B<${misc:Depends}> into F<debian/control> to
supplement the B<${shlibs:Depends}> field.
=item -
B<dh_fixperms> will make all files in F<bin/> directories and in F<etc/init.d>
executable.
=item -
B<dh_link> will correct existing links to conform with policy.
=back
This mode is deprecated.
=item v5
This is the lowest supported compatibility level.
Changes from v4 are:
=over 8
=item -
Comments are ignored in debhelper config files.
=item -
B<dh_strip --dbg-package> now specifies the name of a package to put debugging
symbols in, not the packages to take the symbols from.
=item -
B<dh_installdocs> skips installing empty files.
=item -
B<dh_install> errors out if wildcards expand to nothing.
