Often you'll want to pass an option to a specific debhelper command. The
easy way to do with is by adding an override target for that command.
-
+
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@
-
+
override_dh_strip:
dh_strip -Xfoo
-
- override_dh_installdocs:
- dh_installdocs README TODO
+
+ override_dh_auto_configure:
+ dh_auto_configure -- --with-foo --disable-bar
Sometimes the automated L<dh_auto_configure(1)> and L<dh_auto_build(1)>
can't guess what to do for a strange package. Here's how to avoid running
# Stash this away before init modifies it.
my @ARGV_orig=@ARGV;
-if (compat(8)) {
+if (compat(8, 1)) {
# python-support was enabled by default before v9.
# (and comes first so python-central loads later and can disable it).
unshift @ARGV, "--with=python-support";
$sequences{build} = [@bd_minimal, rules("build-arch"), rules("build-indep")];
$sequences{'install-indep'} = [rules("build-indep"), @i];
$sequences{'install-arch'} = [rules("build-arch"), @i];
- $sequences{'install'} = [rules("build"), rules("install-arch"), rules("install-indep"), @i];
+ $sequences{'install'} = [rules("build"), rules("install-arch"), rules("install-indep")];
$sequences{'binary-indep'} = [rules("install-indep"), @b];
$sequences{'binary-arch'} = [rules("install-arch"), @ba, @b];
$sequences{binary} = [rules("install"), rules("binary-arch"), rules("binary-indep")];
return @rest if ! $has_explicit_target; # has empty override
return @rest unless @todo; # has override, but no packages to act on
+ if (defined $override_type) {
+ # Ensure appropriate -a or -i option is passed when running
