DH_COMPRESS(1) Debhelper DH_COMPRESS(1)
dh_compress - compress files and fix symlinks in package build
directories
dh_compress [debhelper options] [-Xitem] [-A] [file ...]
dh_compress is a debhelper program that is responsible for
compressing the files in package build directories, and makes sure
that any symlinks that pointed to the files before they were
compressed are updated to point to the new files.
By default, dh_compress compresses files that Debian policy mandates
should be compressed, namely all files in usr/share/info,
usr/share/man, files in usr/share/doc that are larger than 4k in
size, (except the copyright file, .html and other web files, image
files, and files that appear to be already compressed based on their
extensions), and all changelog files. Plus PCF fonts underneath
usr/share/fonts/X11/
debian/package.compress
These files are deprecated.
If this file exists, the default files are not compressed.
Instead, the file is ran as a shell script, and all filenames
that the shell script outputs will be compressed. The shell
script will be run from inside the package build directory. Note
though that using -X is a much better idea in general; you should
only use a debian/package.compress file if you really need to.
-Xitem, --exclude=item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from
being compressed. For example, -X.tiff will exclude TIFF files
from compression. You may use this option multiple times to
build up a list of things to exclude.
-A, --all
Compress all files specified by command line parameters in ALL
packages acted on.
file ...
Add these files to the list of files to compress.
