dh_installdebconf

NAME

dh_installdebconf - install files used by debconf in package build directories

SYNOPSIS

dh_installdebconf [debhelper options] [-n] [-- params]

DESCRIPTION

dh_installdebconf is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files used by the debconf package into package build directories.

It also automatically generates the postrm commands needed to interface with debconf. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how that works.

Files named debian/package.config and debian/package.templates are installed into the DEBIAN directory in the package build directory.

Note that if you use debconf, your package probably needs to depend on it (it will be added to ${misc:Depends} by this program).

Note that for your config script to be called by dpkg, your postinst needs to source debconf's confmodule. dh_installdebconf does not install this statement into postinst automatically as it it too hard to do it right.

LOCALIZED TEMPLATE FILES

Debconf also supports localized template files, and this program has some support to aid is working with them. It is best to keep the translations in .po files under debian/po, and merge them only at build time. See po2debconf(1) and debconf-getlang(1) for details.

This program will look to see if you have a debian/po directory and if so will automatically call po2debconf(1) to generate a merged templates file. Or if you have debian/templates.ll files, it will use the older debconf-mergetemplate(1) program to merge those together.

Note that if your package has a debian/po directory it should build-depend on po-debconf.

For example, if you have a German translation, strings from debian/po/de.po are merged with debian/package.templates.

OPTIONS

-n, --noscripts

Do not modify postrm script.

-- params

Pass the params to po2debconf, if it is run or debconf-mergetemplate, if it is run.
