NAME

       deb-conffiles - package conffiles

SYNOPSIS

       conffiles

DESCRIPTION

       A  package  declares  its  list	of  conffiles  by  including a conffiles file in its control archive (i.e. DEBIAN/conffiles during package
       creation).

       This file contains a list of files, one per line.  They should be listed as absolute pathnames, and should exist  in  the  binary  package,
       otherwise  dpkg(1)  will ignore them (although by default dpkg-deb(1) will refuse to build such binary packages).  Trailing whitespace will
       be trimmed, and empty lines will be ignored.

EXAMPLE

       /etc/alternatives/README
       /etc/cron.daily/dpkg
       /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg
       /etc/logrotate.d/dpkg

NAME

       dh_md5sums - generate DEBIAN/md5sums file

SYNOPSIS

       dh_md5sums [debhelperoptions] [-x] [-Xitem] [--include-conffiles]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_md5sums is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating a DEBIAN/md5sums file, which lists the md5sums of each file in the
       package.  These files are used by dpkg --verify or the debsums(1) program.

       All files in DEBIAN/ are omitted from the md5sums file, as are all conffiles (unless you use the --include-conffiles switch).

       The md5sums file is installed with proper permissions and ownerships.

OPTIONS

       -x, --include-conffiles
           Include conffiles in the md5sums list. Note that this information is redundant since it is included elsewhere in Debian packages.

       -Xitem, --exclude=item
           Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being listed in the md5sums file.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
