* dh_auto_install: Rather than looking at the number of binary packages
being acted on, look at the total number of binary packages in the
source package when deciding whether to install to debian/package or
debian/tmp. This avoids inconsistencies when building mixed arch all+any
packages using the binary-indep and binary-arch targets.

* rules.tiny: Typo fix. Closes: #479647 * dh_installinit: Add --restart-after-upgrade, which avoids stopping a daemon in the prerm, and instead restarts it in the postinst, keeping its downtime minimal. Since some daemons could break if files are upgraded while they're running, it's not the default. It might become the default in a future (v8) compatibility level. Closes: #471060 * dh: fix POD error. Closes: #480191 * dh: Typo fixes. Closes: #480200 * dh: Add remove_command to the sequence interface. * dh_auto_clean: setup.py clean can create pyc files.

debhelper (7.0.8) unstable; urgency=low
* dh: Add an interface that third-party packages providing debhelper commands
can use to insert them into a command sequence.
(See dh(1), "SEQUENCE ADDONS".)
* dh: --with=foo can be used to include such third-party commands.
So, for example, --with=cli could add the dh_cli* commands from
cli-common.
* Moved python-support special case out of dh and into a python-support
sequence addon. --with=python-support is enabled by default to avoid
breaking backwards compatability.

debhelper (7.0.3) unstable; urgency=low
* dh: Fix man page typos. Closes: #477933 * Add missing $! to error message when the log can't be opened. * One problem with the log files is that if dh_clean is not the last command run, they will be left behind. This is a particular problem on build daemons that use real root. Especially if cdbs is used, since it runs dh_listpackages after clean, thereby leaving behind log files that only root can touch. Avoid this particular special case by inhibiting logging by dh_listpackages.

debhelper (7.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
* dh: New program that runs a series of debhelper commands in a sequence.
This can be used to construct very short rules files (as short as 3
lines), while still exposing the full power of debhelper when it's
needed.
* dh_auto_configure: New program, automates running ./configure,
Makefile.PL, and python distutils. Calls them with exactly the same
options as cdbs does by default, and allows adding/overriding options.
* dh_auto_build: New program, automates building the package by either
running make or using setup.py. (Support for cmake and other build systems
planned but not yet implemented.)
* dh_auto_test: New program, automates running make test or make check
if the Makefile has such a target.
* dh_auto_clean: New program, automates running make clean (or distclean,
or realclean), or using setup.py to clean up.
* dh_auto_install: New program, automates running make install, or using
setup.py to install. Supports the PREFIX=/usr special case needed by
MakeMaker Makefiles. (Support for cmake and other build systems planned
but not yet implemented.)
* New v7 mode, which only has three changes from v6, and is the new
recommended default, especially when using dh.
* dh_install: In v7 mode, if --sourcedir is not specified, first look for
files in debian/tmp, and then will look in the current directory. This
allows dh_install to interoperate with dh_auto_install without needing any
special parameters.
* dh_clean: In v7 mode, read debian/clean and delete all files listed
therein.
* dh_clean: In v7 mode, automatically delete *-stamp files.
* Add a Makefile and simplify this package's own rules file using
all the new toys.
* dh_clean: Don't delete core dumps. (Too DWIM, and "core" is not
necessarily a core dump.) Closes: #477391
* dh_prep: New program, does the same as dh_clean -k (which will be
deprecated later).

Closes: #459226 * dh_shlibdeps: If a relative path is specified in -l, don't prepend the pwd to it, instead just prepend a slash to make it absolute. dpkg-shlibdeps has changed how it used LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so making it point into the package build directory won't work. * dh_shlibdeps: Change "-L pkg" to cause "-Sdebian/pkg" to be passed to dpkg-shlibdeps. The old behavior of passing -L to dpkg-shlibdeps didn't affect where it looked for symbols files. Closes: #459224 * Depend on dpkg-dev 1.14.15, the first to support dpkg-shlibdeps -S. * dh_installdocs, dh_installexamples: Support files with spaces in exclude mode.

debhelper (5.0.37.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Update of dh_python
- vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
- it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
- uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
- ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
specific python version. Closes: #373853
- always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
provides.
- uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
the not too-distant future).
DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.
* Use "grep ^Version:" instead of "grep Version:" on the output of
dpkg-parsechangelog since the above changelog entry matched "Version:" and
thus made the build fail.

debhelper (4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. 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. Packages targeted
for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are
using.)

debhelper (3.4.8) unstable; urgency=low
* Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works. 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: #40649 * Implemented -X for dh_installexamples as well. * dh_clean -X substvars will also work now. Closes: #66890

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
<taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
Closes: #76352
* Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

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

(Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated

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!

of options after --. 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. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do

change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.

* Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
* dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
but is mildly deprecated.
* dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
* dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
if you use it. 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..

* suidmanager is obsolete now, and so is dh_suidmanager. 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.
If it would have done nothing before, it just outputs a warning that
it is an obsolete program.

* DH_COMPAT=3 now enables the following new features which I can't just
turn on by default for fear of breaking backwards compatability:
- dh_makeshlibs makes the postinst/postrm call ldconfig. Closes: #77154
Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (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

deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

debhelper (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low
* I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. 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/<package> 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).

* Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. 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/<package>.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. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

* dh_suidregister: Fixed a rather esoteric bug: If a file had multiple
hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
files that need to be registered. 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. The fix is to just not remove suid
bits until all files have been registered.

* dh_installmanpages:
- Added support for translated man pages, with a patch from Kis Gergely
<kisg@lme.linux.hu>. Closes: #51268
- Fixed the undefined value problem in Kis's patch.
- This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
* dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
- Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. 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 affects
exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.
dh_installdebfiles has been depreacted for nearly 2 years now..

* dh_suidregister: Die with understandable error message if asked to

html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
(Closes: #51099)
* Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
U_PARAMS. 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.

* Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
<cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. 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

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/<package> a compatability symlink to /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in /usr/doc/<package> 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.

a single target of a Makefile. This works tremendously well with
DH_OPTIONS: no need to put "-i" or "-pfoo" after every debhelper command

* 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-<package>
targets. It accomplishes all this using only one list of debhelper
commands.

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 <joeyh@debian.org> 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 <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 1 Jul 1999 11:44:05 -0700
debhelper (1.2.82) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com> 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 <joeyh@debian.org> 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 <joeyh@debian.org> 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 <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 24 Jun 1999 16:48:53 -0700
debhelper (1.2.79) unstable; urgency=low
* Added dh_perl by Raphael Hertzog <rhertzog@hrnet.fr>. 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 <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 24 Jun 1999 14:47:55 -0700
debhelper (1.2.78) unstable; urgency=low
* Really include dh_installpam.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 15 Jun 1999 09:00:36 -0700
debhelper (1.2.77) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installpam: new program by Sean <shaleh@foo.livenet.net> * Wrote man page for same.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> 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.
(Closes: #38911)
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999 20:20:01 -0700
debhelper (1.2.75) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installemacsen: fixed perms of install, remove scripts.

-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 7 Jun 1999 14:42:12 -0700
debhelper (1.2.74) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmanpages: recognizes gzipped man pages and installs them.
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 <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 15:14:27 -0700
debhelper (1.2.73) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installemacsen: make sure files are installed mode 0644. Not strictly
necessary since dh_fixperms fixes them if you have a wacky umask, but oh
well. (Closes: 38900)
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:50:42 -0700
debhelper (1.2.72) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installemacsen: use debian/package.emacsen-startup, not
debian/package.emacsen-init. The former has always been documented to
work on the man page (closes: #38898).
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:16:57 -0700
debhelper (1.2.71) unstable; urgency=low

debhelper (1.2.69) unstable; urgency=low
* Don't include Test.pm in the binary package.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 23 May 1999 19:29:27 -0700
debhelper (1.2.68) unstable; urgency=low
* doc/README: updated example of using #DEBHELPER# in a perl script, with
help from Julian Gilbey.
* dh_link: generate absolute symlinks where appropriate. 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 <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 16 May 1999 17:18:44 -0700
debhelper (1.2.67) unstable; urgency=low

debhelper (1.2.63) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installxaw: updated to work with xaw-wrappers 0.90 and above. It
actually has to partially parse the xaw-wrappers config files now.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 2 May 1999 19:13:34 -0700
debhelper (1.2.62) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installemacsen: added support for site-start files. Added --flavor
and --number to control details of installation. (#36832)
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 2 May 1999 15:31:58 -0700
debhelper (1.2.61) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_md5sums.1: dh_md5sums is not deprecated, AFAIK, but the manpage has
somehow been modified to say it was at version 1.2.45.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 26 Apr 1999 19:54:04 -0700
debhelper (1.2.60) unstable; urgency=low

-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 26 Apr 1999 17:19:07 -0700
debhelper (1.2.59) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_builddeb: added --destdir option, which lets you tell it where
to put the generated .deb's. Default is .. of course.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 22 Apr 1999 22:02:01 -0700
debhelper (1.2.58) unstable; urgency=low
* autoscripts/postinst-suid: use /#FILE# in elif test (#36297).

debhelper (1.2.57) unstable; urgency=low
* examples/*: killed trailing spaces after diff: target
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 12 Apr 1999 22:02:32 -0700
debhelper (1.2.56) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_suidregister: make the chown/chmod only happen if the file actually
exists. This is useful if you have conffiles that have permissions and
may be deleted. (#35845)
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 10 Apr 1999 13:35:23 -0700
debhelper (1.2.55) unstable; urgency=low
* Various man page enhancements.
* dh_md5sums: supports -X to make it skip including files in the
md5sums (#35819).
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 9 Apr 1999 18:21:58 -0700
debhelper (1.2.54) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installinit.1: man page fixups (#34160).
* *.1: the date of each man page is now automatically updated when
debhelper is built to be the last modification time of the man page.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Thu, 8 Apr 1999 20:28:00 -0700
debhelper (1.2.53) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress: leave .taz and .tgz files alone. 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 <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Apr 1999 02:20:14 -0700
debhelper (1.2.52) unstable; urgency=low

debhelper (1.2.50) unstable; urgency=low
* Very minor typo fix.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> 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 could have even caused it to follow the symlinks and
modify files on the build system in some cases. Ignores them now. (#35102)
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 24 Mar 1999 13:21:49 -0800
debhelper (1.2.48) unstable; urgency=low

fragments inside a perl program -- the old method didn't work with shell
variables properly (#34850).

debhelper (1.2.46) unstable; urgency=low

debhelper (1.2.45) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installwm.1: fixed two errors (#34534, #34535)

debhelper (1.2.44) unstable; urgency=medium
* dh_fixperms: has been mostly broken when used with -X, corrected this.

debhelper (1.2.43) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress.1: man page fixes (Closes: #33858). * dh_compress: now it can handle compressing arbitrary numbers of files, spawning gzip multiple times like xargs does, if necessary. (Closes: #33860) * Dh_Lib.pm: added xargs() command.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 9 Mar 1999 14:57:09 -0800
debhelper (1.2.42) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_m5sums: don't generate bogus md5sums file if the package contains no
files. Yes, someone found a legitimate reason to do that.

debhelper (1.2.41) unstable; urgency=low

debhelper (1.2.40) unstable; urgency=low
* Let's just say 1.2.39 is not a good version of debhelper to use and
leave it at that. :-)

debhelper (1.2.34) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_clean: added -d flag (also --dirs-only) that will make it clean only
tmp dirs. (closes: #30807)

will now look for debian/<package>.doc-base.<doc-id>.
* dh_compress: removed warning message (harmless).
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 6 Feb 1999 17:48:33 -0800
debhelper (1.2.33) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_compress: verbose_print() cd's.
* dh_compress: clear the hash of hard links when we loop - was making
dh_compress fail on multi-binary packages that had harlinks. Thanks to
Craig Small for spotting this.

debhelper (1.2.32) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_suidmanager: if it cannot determine the user name or group name from
the uid or gid, it will pass the uid or gid to suidmanager. This should
probably never happen, but it's good to be safe.
