* dh_strip: better documentation, removed extraneous "item" from SYNOPSIS.
Closes: #162493
* dh_strip: detect and don't strip debug/*.so files.
* Note that 4.1.11 changelog entry was incorrect, dh_perl worked fine
without that change, but the new behavior is less likely to break things
if dpkg-gencontrol changes.
* Various improvements to debhelper(1).

Do not use this verion of debhelper for woody backports!
* Removed dh_installxaw.

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.)

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

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.

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. Currently used
by: 3 packages (bugs filed).
* Added referneces to menufile in dh_installmenu man page. Closes: #127978
(dh_make is not a part of debhelper, if you want it changed, file a bug on
dh-make.)

data in a file. Substvars data may be put in debian/package.substvars.
(Those files used to be used by debhelper for automatically generated
data, but it uses a different internal filename now). 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!
(debhelper's undocumented, internal use only files should now all be
prefixed with ".debhelper")

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.

- Various debian/foo files like debian/docs, debian/examples, etc,
begin to support filename globbing. use \* to escape the wildcards of
course. I doubt this will bite anyone (Debian doesn't seem to contain
files with "*" or "?" in their names..), but it is guarded by v3 just
to be sure. Closes: #34120, #37694, #39846, #46249

README.Debian,

minor" change after all. Never underetimate the annoyance of
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
and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs
should now be raised to severity important..
* --number option (to dh_installemacsen) is removed. It has been
deprecated for a while and nothing uses it. Use --priority instead.

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).

modified)to make dh_installwm use new window manager registration method,
update-alternatives. Closes: #52156, #34684 (latter bug is obsolete)
* Fixed $dh{flavor} to be upper-case.
* 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. :-)
* Moved Dh_*.pm to /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debhelper. *big* change.

act on files that don't exist.
* dh_installchangelogs: to comply with policy, if it's told to act on a
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.

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 extentions dh_compress
does not compress. Closes: #41733

insensitively.

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. You may need to
modify other files in your package that reference the old locations.
