NAME¶
dh_installdebconf - install files used by debconf in package build directories
SYNOPSIS¶
dh_installdebconf [
debhelper options] [
-n]
[
-- params]
DESCRIPTION¶
dh_installdebconf is a debhelper program that is responsible for
installing files used by debconf into package build directories.
It also automatically generates the
postrm commands needed to interface
with debconf. The commands are added to the maintainer scripts by
dh_installdeb. See
dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how
that works.
Note that if you use debconf, your package probably needs to depend on it (it
will be added to
${misc:Depends} by this program).
Note that for your config script to be called by
dpkg, your
postinst needs to source debconf's confmodule.
dh_installdebconf
does not install this statement into the
postinst automatically as it
is too hard to do it right.
FILES¶
- debian/package.config
- This is the debconf config script, and is installed
into the DEBIAN directory in the package build directory.
Inside the script, the token #DEBHELPER# is replaced with shell
script snippets generated by other debhelper commands.
- debian/package.templates
- This is the debconf templates file, and is installed
into the DEBIAN directory in the package build directory.
- debian/po/
- If this directory is present, this program will
automatically use po2debconf(1) to generate merged templates files
that include the translations from there.
For this to work, your package should build-depend on
po-debconf.
OPTIONS¶
- -n, --noscripts
- Do not modify postrm script.
- -- params
- Pass the params to po2debconf.
