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