NAME
dh_prep - perform cleanups in preparation for building a binary package
SYNOPSIS
dh_prep [
debhelper options] [
-Xitem]
DESCRIPTION
dh_prep is a debhelper program that performs some file cleanups in
preparation for building a binary package. (This is what
dh_clean -k
used to do.) It removes the package build directories,
debian/tmp,
and some temp files that are generated when building a binary package.
It is typically run at the top of the binary-arch and binary-indep targets,
or at the top of a target such as install that they depend on.
OPTIONS
- -Xitem --exclude=item
-
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being
deleted, even if they would normally be deleted. You may use this option
multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.
