DH_INSTALLMANPAGES(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLMANPAGES(1)
dh_installmanpages - old-style man page installer (deprecated)
dh_installmanpages [debhelper options] [file ...]
dh_installmanpages is a debhelper program that is responsible for
automatically installing man pages into usr/share/man/ in package
build directories.
This is a DWIM-style program, with an interface unlike the rest of
debhelper. It is deprecated, and you are encouraged to use
dh_installman(1) instead.
dh_installmanpages scans the current directory and all subdirectories
for filenames that look like man pages. (Note that only real files
are looked at; symlinks are ignored.) It uses file(1) to verify that
the files are in the correct format. Then, based on the files'
extensions, it installs them into the correct man directory.
All filenames specified as parameters will be skipped by
dh_installmanpages. This is useful if by default it installs some
man pages that you do not want to be installed.
After the man page installation step, dh_installmanpages will check
to see if any of the man pages are .so links. If so, it changes them
to symlinks.
file ...
Do not install these files as man pages, even if they look like
valid man pages.
dh_installmanpages will install the man pages it finds into all
packages you tell it to act on, since it can't tell what package the
man pages belong in. This is almost never what you really want (use
-p to work around this, or use the much better dh_installman(1)
program instead).
Files ending in .man will be ignored.
Files specified as parameters that contain spaces in their filenames
will not be processed properly.
