LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
dh_sphinxdoc
DH_SPHINXDOC(1) Debhelper DH_SPHINXDOC(1)
NAME
dh_sphinxdoc - helps with packaging Sphinx-generated documentation
SYNOPSIS
dh_sphinxdoc [debhelper options] [-Xitem] [directory...]
DESCRIPTION
dh_sphinxdoc is a debhelper program that prepares Sphinx-generated documentation for inclusion in a Debian package. More specifically:
o It checks if all the files referenced by searchindex.js exist.
o It replaces known *.js files with symlinks to /usr/share/javascript/sphinxdoc/ and generates ${sphinxdoc:Depends} substitution
variable.
o It removes the .doctrees directory.
o It removes the .buildinfo file.
o It removes the websupport.js file.
OPTIONS
directory
By default, dh_sphinxdoc scans your package looking for directories looking like they contain Sphinx-generated documentation. However,
if you explicitly provide one or more directories, only they will be processed.
-Xitem, --exclude=item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being symlinked, removed or checked for existence.
BUGS
Symlinking translations.js and non-English searchtools.js is not supported.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7), dh(1).
This program is meant to be used together with debhelper.
