8 dh_installinfo is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing
9 info files and registering them with install-info.
11 Any filenames specified as parameters will be installed into the first
12 package dh_installinfo is told to act on. By default, this is the first
13 binary package in debian/control, but if you use -p, -i, or -a flags, it
14 will be the first package specified by those flags.
16 A file named debian/package.info (debian/info may be used for the first
17 binary package in debian/control) can list other files to be installed.
19 dh_installinfo will automatically generate the postinst and prerm commands
20 needed to interface with install-info. See
22 for an explanation of how this works.
28 for a list of options common to all debhelper commands.
31 Install all files specified by command line parameters in ALL packages
35 Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.
38 Install these info files into the first package acted on. (Or in
39 all packages if -A is specified).
43 for a list of environment variables that affect all debhelper commands.
49 It's impossible to specify filenames with spaces or other whitespace in them
50 in debian/info file. This is more a historical design flaw than a bug.
