NAME
dh_installwm - register a window manager
SYNOPSIS
dh_installwm [
debhelper options] [
-n] [
--priority=n] [
wm ...]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installwm is a debhelper program that is responsible for
generating the
postinst and
prerm commands that register a window manager
with
update-alternatives(8). The window manager's man page is also
registered as a slave symlink (in v6 mode and up). It must be installed in
usr/share/man/man1/ in the package build directory prior to calling
dh_installwm. In compat 9 and earlier, the manpage was optional.
FILES
- debian/package.wm
-
List window manager programs to register.
OPTIONS
- --priority=n
-
Set the priority of the window manager. Default is 20, which is too low for
most window managers; see the Debian Policy document for instructions on
calculating the correct value.
- -n, --no-scripts
-
Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts. Turns this command into a no-op.
- -A, --all
-
Modify scripts for window managers specified by command line
parameters in ALL packages acted on, not just the first.
- wm ...
-
Window manager programs to register.
NOTES
Note that this command is not idempotent.
dh_prep(1) should be called
between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
