DH_MOVEFILES(1) Debhelper DH_MOVEFILES(1)
dh_movefiles - move files out of debian/tmp into subpackages
dh_movefiles [debhelper options] [--sourcedir=dir] [-Xitem]
[file ...]
dh_movefiles is a debhelper program that is responsible for
moving files out of debian/tmp or some other directory and into
other package build directories. This may be useful if your
package has a Makefile that installs everything into debian/tmp,
and you need to break that up into subpackages.
Note: dh_install is a much better program, and you are
recommended to use it instead of dh_movefiles.
debian/package.files
Lists the files to be moved into a package, separated by
whitespace. The filenames listed should be relative to
debian/tmp/. You can also list directory names, and the whole
directory will be moved.
--sourcedir=dir
Instead of moving files out of debian/tmp (the default), this
option makes it move files out of some other directory. Since
the entire contents of the sourcedir is moved, specifying
something like --sourcedir=/ is very unsafe, so to prevent
mistakes, the sourcedir must be a relative filename; it
cannot begin with a `/'.
-Xitem, --exclude=item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename
from being installed.
file ...
Lists files to move. The filenames listed should be relative
to debian/tmp/. You can also list directory names, and the
whole directory will be moved. It is an error to list files
here unless you use -p, -i, or -a to tell dh_movefiles which
subpackage to put them in.
Note that files are always moved out of debian/tmp by default
(even if you have instructed debhelper to use a compatibility
level higher than one, which does not otherwise use debian/tmp
for anything at all). The idea behind this is that the package
that is being built can be told to install into debian/tmp, and
then files can be moved by dh_movefiles from that directory. Any
files or directories that remain are ignored, and get deleted by
dh_clean later.
