Install bash command
Hello,
I am trying to copy some dirs and files over from one part of my server to the other with groups, owners and permissions so . . .
I am using the command:
install -m <777> -o <owner> -g <group> /<source>/* /<destination>
This works fine for the files but gives me "install: omitting directory" for the directories.
I have tried cp -r /<source>/* <destination>
but this does'nt give me the relevant groups owners etc.
Can anyone help?
Cheers
Dave

dh_usrlocal
DH_USRLOCAL(1) Debhelper DH_USRLOCAL(1)
NAME
dh_usrlocal - migrate usr/local directories to maintainer scripts
SYNOPSIS
dh_usrlocal [debhelperoptions] [-n]
DESCRIPTION
dh_usrlocal is a debhelper program that can be used for building packages that will provide a subdirectory in /usr/local when installed.
It finds subdirectories of usr/local in the package build directory, and removes them, replacing them with maintainer script snippets
(unless -n is used) to create the directories at install time, and remove them when the package is removed, in a manner compliant with
Debian policy. These snippets are inserted into the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of
debhelper maintainer script snippets.
When the Rules-Requires-Root field is not (effectively) binary-targets, the directories in /usr/local will have ownership root:staff and
the mode will be 02775. These values have been chosen to comply with the recommendations of the Debian policy for directories in
/usr/local.
When Rules-Requires-Root has an effective value of binary-targets, the owners, groups and permissions will be preserved with one exception.
If the directory is owned by root:root, then ownership will be reset to root:staff and mode will be reset to 02775. This is useful, since
that is the group and mode policy recommends for directories in /usr/local.
OPTIONS
-n, --no-scripts
Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.
NOTES
Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
CONFORMS TO
Debian policy, version 2.2
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
