NAME
dh_md5sums - generate DEBIAN/md5sums file
SYNOPSIS
dh_md5sums [
debhelper options] [
-x] [
-Xitem] [
--include-conffiles]
DESCRIPTION
dh_md5sums is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating
a
DEBIAN/md5sums file, which lists the md5sums of each file in the package.
These files are used by
dpkg --verify or the
debsums(1) program.
All files in DEBIAN/ are omitted from the md5sums file, as are all
conffiles (unless you use the --include-conffiles switch).
The md5sums file is installed with proper permissions and ownerships.
OPTIONS
- -x, --include-conffiles
-
Include conffiles in the md5sums list. Note that this information is
redundant since it is included elsewhere in Debian packages.
- -Xitem, --exclude=item
-
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from
being listed in the md5sums file.
