5 dh - debhelper command sequencer
10 use Debian::Debhelper::Dh_Lib;
14 B<dh> sequence [B<--with> I<addon>[,I<addon>,...]] [B<--list>] [B<--until> I<cmd>] [B<--before> I<cmd>] [B<--after> I<cmd>] [B<--remaining>] [S<I<debhelper options>>]
18 dh runs a sequence of debhelper commands. The supported sequences
19 correspond to the targets of a debian/rules file: "build", "clean",
20 "install", "binary-arch", "binary-indep", and "binary".
22 Commands in the binary-indep sequence are passed the "-i" option to ensure
23 they only work on binary independent packages, and commands in the
24 binary-arch sequences are passed the "-a" option to ensure they only work
25 on architecture dependent packages.
27 Each debhelper command will record when it's successfully run in
28 debian/package.debhelper.log. (Which dh_clean deletes.) So dh can tell
29 which commands have already been run, for which packages, and skip running
32 Each time dh is run, it examines the log, and finds the last logged command
33 that is in the specified sequence. It then continues with the next command
34 in the sequence. The B<--until>, B<--before>, B<--after>, and B<--remaining>
35 options can override this behavior.
37 If debian/rules contains a target with a name like "override_I<dh_command>",
38 then when it gets to that command in the sequence, dh will run that
39 target from the rules file, rather than running the actual command. The
40 override target can then run the command with additional options, or run
41 entirely different commands instead. (Note that to use this feature,
42 you should Build-Depend on debhelper 7.0.50 or above.)
48 =item B<--with> I<addon>[,I<addon>,...]
50 Add the debhelper commands specified by the given addon to appropriate places
51 in the sequence of commands that is run. This option can be repeated more
52 than once, or multiple addons can be listed, separated by commas.
53 This is used when there is a third-party package that provides
54 debhelper commands. See the PROGRAMMING file for documentation about
55 the sequence addon interface.
57 =item B<--without> I<addon>
59 The inverse of --with, disables using the given addon.
61 =item B<--list>, B<-l>
63 List all available addons.
65 =item B<--until> I<cmd>
67 Run commands in the sequence until and including I<cmd>, then stop.
69 =item B<--before> I<cmd>
71 Run commands in the sequence before I<cmd>, then stop.
73 =item B<--after> I<cmd>
75 Run commands in the sequence that come after I<cmd>.
79 Run all commands in the sequence that have yet to be run.
83 All other options passed to dh are passed on to each command it runs. This
84 can be used to set an option like "-v" or "-X" or "-N", as well as for more
87 =head1 COMMAND SPECIFICATION
89 I<cmd> can be a full name of a debhelper command, or a substring. It'll first
90 search for a command in the sequence exactly matching the name, to avoid any
91 ambiguity. If there are multiple substring matches, the last one in the
92 sequence will be used.
100 foreach my $i (0..$#sequence) {
101 if ($command eq $sequence[$i]) {

125 dh binary-arch --no-act
127 This is a very simple rules file, for packages where the default sequences of
128 commands work with no additional options.
134 Often you'll want to pass an option to a specific debhelper command. The
135 easy way to do with is by adding an override target for that command.

147 Sometimes the automated dh_auto_configure and dh_auto_build can't guess
148 what to do for a strange package. Here's how to avoid running either
149 and instead run your own commands.
155 override_dh_auto_configure:
158 override_dh_auto_build:
159 make universe-explode-in-delight
161 Another common case is wanting to do something manually before or
162 after a particular debhelper command is run.
168 override_dh_fixperms:
170 chmod 4755 debian/foo/usr/bin/foo
172 If your package is a python package, dh will use dh_pysupport by
173 default. This is how to use dh_pycentral instead.
177 dh --with python-central $@
179 To patch your package using quilt, you can tell dh to use quilt's dh
180 sequence addons like this:
186 Here is an example of overriding where the dh_auto_* commands find
187 the package's source, for a package where the source is located in a
188 subdirectory. It also forces use of perl's Module::Build build system,
189 which can be necessary if debhelper wrongly detects that the package
194 dh --sourcedirectory=src --buildsystem=perl_build $@
198 # Stash this away before init modifies it.
201 # python-support is enabled by default, at least for now
202 # (and comes first so python-central loads later and can disable it).
203 unshift @ARGV, "--with=python-support";
205 # Disable complaints about unknown options for both dh and the commands
206 # it runs. This is done because dh accepts and passes on options that may
207 # be specific to only some debhelper commands.
