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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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. (Combine with -v to see what the command would
    have done.) (#17598)

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Sat, 17 Jan 1998 02:12:06 -0500

debhelper (0.56) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_compress: Applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@a2points.com>,
    to make it not abort of one of the find's fails.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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/<mainpackage>.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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Sat, 10 Jan 1998 11:30:12 -0500

debhelper (0.52) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_compress: compress file belongs in debian/. It was looking in ./
    This has been broken since version 0.30.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Tue,  6 Jan 1998 14:08:31 -0500

debhelper (0.51) unstable; urgency=low

  * dh_fixperms: make shared libraries non-executable, in accordance with
    policy. (#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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Mon, 22 Dec 1997 22:19:39 -0500

debhelper (0.34) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed typo #16215.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Wed, 10 Dec 1997 19:53:13 -0500

debhelper (0.31) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fixed man page typos #15685.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Mon, 27 Oct 1997 12:42:33 -0500

debhelper (0.13) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added dh_makeshlibs, automatically generates a shlibs file.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Fri, 10 Oct 1997 15:24:40 -0400

debhelper (0.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Added dh_installcron to install cron jobs.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  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 <joeyh@master.debian.org>  Mon, 22 Sep 1997 15:01:25 -0400
