options can override this behavior.
If debian/rules contains a target with a name like "override_I<dh_command>",
-then when it would notmally run I<dh_command>, dh will instead call that
+then when it would normally run I<dh_command>, dh will instead call that
target. The override target can then run the command with additional options,
or run entirely different commands instead. See examples below. (Note that to
use this feature, you should Build-Depend on debhelper 7.0.50 or above.)
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
- dh --with python-central $@
+ dh $@ --with python-central
Here is how to force use of perl's Module::Build build system,
which can be necessary if debhelper wrongly detects that the package
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
- dh --buildsystem=perl_build $@
+ dh $@ --buildsystem=perl_build
To patch your package using quilt, you can tell dh to use quilt's dh
sequence addons like this:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
- dh --with quilt $@
+ dh $@ --with quilt
Here is an example of overriding where the dh_auto_* commands find
the package's source, for a package where the source is located in a
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
- dh --sourcedirectory=src $@
+ dh $@ --sourcedirectory=src
Finally, here is a way to prevent dh from running several commands
that you don't want it to run, by defining empty override targets for each
# (and comes first so python-central loads later and can disable it).
unshift @ARGV, "--with=python-support";
