NAME¶
dh_installdeb - install files into the DEBIAN directory
SYNOPSIS¶
dh_installdeb [
debhelper options]
DESCRIPTION¶
dh_installdeb is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing
files into the
DEBIAN directories in package build directories with the
correct permissions.
FILES¶
- package.postinst
- package.preinst
- package.postrm
- package.prerm
- These maintainer scripts are installed into the
DEBIAN directory.
Inside the scripts, the token #DEBHELPER# is replaced with shell
script snippets generated by other debhelper commands.
- package.triggers
- package.shlibs
- These control files are installed into the DEBIAN
directory.
- package.conffiles
- This control file will be installed into the DEBIAN
directory.
In v3 compatibility mode and higher, all files in the etc/ directory
in a package will automatically be flagged as conffiles by this program,
so there is no need to list them manually here.
- package.maintscript
- Lines in this file correspond to
dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) commands and parameters. Any shell
metacharacters will be escaped, so arbitrary shell code cannot be inserted
here. For example, a line such as "mv_conffile /etc/oldconffile
/etc/newconffile" will insert maintainer script snippets into all
maintainer scripts sufficient to move that conffile.
A versioned Pre-Dependency on dpkg is needed to use
dpkg-maintscript-helper(1). An appropriate Pre-Dependency is set in
${misc:Pre-Depends} ; you should make sure to put that token into an
appropriate place in your debian/control file.
