NAME¶
dh_fixperms - fix permissions of files in package build directories
SYNOPSIS¶
dh_fixperms [
debhelper options] [
-Xitem]
DESCRIPTION¶
dh_fixperms is a debhelper program that is responsible for setting the
permissions of files and directories in package build directories to a sane
state -- a state that complies with Debian policy.
dh_fixperms makes all files in
usr/share/doc in the package build
directory (excluding files in the
examples/ directory) be mode 644. It
also changes the permissions of all man pages to mode 644. It makes all files
be owned by root, and it removes group and other write permission from all
files. It removes execute permissions from any libraries, headers, Perl
modules, or desktop files that have it set. It makes all files in the standard
bin and
sbin directories,
usr/games/ and
etc/init.d executable (since v4). Finally, it removes the setuid and
setgid bits from all files in the package.
OPTIONS¶
- -Xitem, --exclude item
- Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from
having their permissions changed. You may use this option multiple times
to build up a list of things to exclude.
