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.

       If the directories found in the build tree have unusual owners, groups, or permissions, then those values will be preserved in the
       directories made by the postinst script. However, as a special exception, if a directory is owned by root.root, it will be treated as if it
       is owned by root.staff and is mode 2775. This is useful, since that is the group and mode policy recommends for directories in /usr/local.

OPTIONS

       -n, --noscripts
	   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.
