NAME


       dh_install - install files into package build directories

 

SYNOPSIS


       dh_install [-Xitem] [--autodest] [--sourcedir=dir] [debhelper options]
       [file [...] dest]

 

DESCRIPTION






       dh_install is a debhelper program that handles installing files into
       package build directories. There are many dh_install* commands that
       handle installing specific types of files such as documentation,
       examples, man pages, and so on, and they should be used when possible
       as they often have extra intelligence for those particular tasks.
       dh_install, then, is useful for installing everything else, for which
       no particular intelligence is needed. It is a replacement for the old
       dh_movefiles command.

       Files named debian/package.install list the files to install into each
       package and the directory they should be installed to. The format is a
       set of lines, where each line lists a file or files to install, and at
       the end of the line tells the directory it should be installed in. The
       name of the files (or directories) to install should be given relative
       to the current directory, while the installation directory is given
       relative to the package build directory. You may use wildcards in the
       names of the files to install (in v3 mode and above).

       This program may be used in one of two ways. If you just have a file or
       two that the upstream Makefile does not install for you, you can run
       dh_install on them to move them into place. On the other hand, maybe
       you have a large package that builds multiple binary packages. You can
       use the upstream Makefile to install it all into debian/tmp, and then
       use dh_install to copy directories and files from there into the proper
       package build directories.

       From debhelper compatibility level 7 on, dh_install will fall back to
       looking in debian/tmp for files, if it doesn't find them in the current
       directory (or whereever you've told it to look using --srcdir).

 

OPTIONS


       -Xitem, --exclude=item
           Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from
           being installed.

       --autodest
           Guess as the destination directory to install things to. If this is
           specified, you should not list destination directories in
           debian/package.install files or on the command line. Instead,
           dh_install will guess as follows:

           Strip off debian/tmp (or the sourcedir if one is given) from the
           front of the filename, if it is present, and install into the
           dirname of the filename. So if the filename is debian/tmp/usr/bin,
           then that directory will be copied to debian/package/usr/. If the
           filename is debian/tmp/etc/passwd, it will be copied to
           debian/package/etc/.

           Note that if you list exactly one filename or wildcard-pattern on a
           line by itself in a debian/package.install file, with no explicit
           destination, then dh_install will automatically guess the
           destination even if this flag is not set.

       --list-missing
           This option makes dh_install keep track of the files it installs,
           and then at the end, compare that list with the files in the source
           directory. If any of the files (and symlinks) in the source
           directory were not installed to somewhere, it will warn on stderr
           about that.

           This may be useful if you have a large package and want to make
           sure that you don't miss installing newly added files in new
           upstream releases.

           Note that files that are excluded from being moved via the -X
           option are not warned about.

       --fail-missing
           This option is like --list-missing, except if a file was missed, it
           will not only list the missing files, but also fail with a nonzero
           exit code.

       --sourcedir=dir
           Makes all source files be found under dir. If this is specified, it
           is akin to all the source filenames having "dir/" prepended to
           them.

           To make dh_install behave like the old dh_movefiles, move your
           package.files file to package.install and call dh_install with
           "--sourcedir=debian/tmp" appended to the command. This will
           approximate dh_movefiles behaviour, except it will copy files
           instead of moving them.

       file [...] dest
           Lists files (or directories) to install and where to install them
           to.  The files will be installed into the first package dh_install
           acts on.

 

EXAMPLE


       Suppose your package's upstream Makefile installs a binary, a man page,
       and a library into appropriate subdirectories of debian/tmp. You want
       to put the library into package libfoo, and the rest into package foo.
       Your rules file will run "dh_install --sourcedir=debian/tmp". Make
       debian/foo.install contain:

         usr/bin
         usr/share/man/man1

       While debian/libfoo.install contains:

         usr/lib/libfoo*.so.*

       If you want a libfoo-dev package too, debian/libfoo-dev.install might
       contain:

         usr/include
         usr/lib/libfoo*.so
         usr/share/man/man3

 

LIMITATIONS


       dh_install cannot rename files or directories, it can only install them
       with the names they already have into wherever you want in the package
       build tree.
