NAME
dh_installdirs - create subdirectories in package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_installdirs [
debhelper options] [
-A] [
--sourcedir=dir] [
--create-in-sourcedir] [
dir ...]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installdirs is a debhelper program that is responsible for creating
subdirectories in package build directories.
Many packages can get away with omitting the call to dh_installdirs
completely. Notably, other dh_* commands are expected to create
directories as needed.
FILES
- debian/package.dirs
-
Lists directories to be created in package.
Generally, there is no need to list directories created by the
upstream build system or directories needed by other debhelper
commands.
OPTIONS
- -A, --all
-
Create any directories specified by command line parameters in ALL packages
acted on, not just the first.
- --create-in-sourcedir, --no-create-in-sourcedir
-
Whether to create the specified directories in the source directory
(usually debian/tmp) in addition to in the package build directory
(usually debian/package).
The default is --no-create-in-sourcedir.
- --sourcedir=dir
-
Consider dir the source directory for the packages acted on instead
of the default (which is usually debian/tmp).
Please note that this option is dependent on the
--create-in-sourcedir option (when --no-create-in-sourcedir is
in effect, this option does nothing in dh_installdirs).
- dir ...
-
Create these directories in the package build directory of the first
package acted on. (Or in all packages if -A is specified.)
