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.)
44 dh passes --parallel to dh_auto_* commands if it detects being run by the
45 C<dpkg-buildpackage -jX> command, but a job server of the parent I<make>
46 (presumably debian/rules) is not reachable. Nonetheless, it is highly
47 recommended to pass --parallel/-j option to dh explicitly to indicate that a
48 source package supports parallel building. See L<debhelper(7)/"BUILD SYSTEM
49 OPTIONS"> for more information.
55 =item B<--with> I<addon>[,I<addon>,...]
57 Add the debhelper commands specified by the given addon to appropriate places
58 in the sequence of commands that is run. This option can be repeated more
59 than once, or multiple addons can be listed, separated by commas.
60 This is used when there is a third-party package that provides
61 debhelper commands. See the PROGRAMMING file for documentation about
62 the sequence addon interface.
64 =item B<--without> I<addon>
66 The inverse of --with, disables using the given addon.
68 =item B<--list>, B<-l>
70 List all available addons.
72 =item B<--until> I<cmd>
74 Run commands in the sequence until and including I<cmd>, then stop.
76 =item B<--before> I<cmd>
78 Run commands in the sequence before I<cmd>, then stop.
80 =item B<--after> I<cmd>
82 Run commands in the sequence that come after I<cmd>.
86 Run all commands in the sequence that have yet to be run.
90 All other options passed to dh are passed on to each command it runs. This
91 can be used to set an option like "-v" or "-X" or "-N", as well as for more
94 =head1 COMMAND SPECIFICATION
96 I<cmd> can be a full name of a debhelper command, or a substring. It'll first
97 search for a command in the sequence exactly matching the name, to avoid any
98 ambiguity. If there are multiple substring matches, the last one in the
99 sequence will be used.
107 foreach my $i (0..$#sequence) {
108 if ($command eq $sequence[$i]) {
114 foreach my $i (0..$#sequence) {
115 if ($sequence[$i] =~ /\Q$command\E/) {

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

154 Sometimes the automated dh_auto_configure and dh_auto_build can't guess
155 what to do for a strange package. Here's how to avoid running either
156 and instead run your own commands.
162 override_dh_auto_configure:
165 override_dh_auto_build:
166 make universe-explode-in-delight
168 Another common case is wanting to do something manually before or
169 after a particular debhelper command is run.
175 override_dh_fixperms:
177 chmod 4755 debian/foo/usr/bin/foo
179 If your package is a python package, dh will use dh_pysupport by
180 default. This is how to use dh_pycentral instead.
184 dh --with python-central $@
186 To patch your package using quilt, you can tell dh to use quilt's dh
187 sequence addons like this:
193 Here is an example of overriding where the dh_auto_* commands find
194 the package's source, for a package where the source is located in a
195 subdirectory. It also forces use of perl's Module::Build build system,
196 which can be necessary if debhelper wrongly detects that the package
201 dh --sourcedirectory=src --buildsystem=perl_build $@
205 # Stash this away before init modifies it.
208 # python-support is enabled by default, at least for now
209 # (and comes first so python-central loads later and can disable it).
210 unshift @ARGV, "--with=python-support";

213 # it runs. This is done because dh accepts and passes on options that may
