DH_MOVEFILES(1) Debhelper DH_MOVEFILES(1)
dh_movefiles - move files out of debian/tmp into subpackages
dh_movefiles [debhelper options] [--sourcedir=dir] [-Xitem]
[file ...]
dh_movefiles is a debhelper program that is responsible for moving
files out of debian/tmp or some other directory and into other
package build directories. This may be useful if your package has a
Makefile that installs everything into debian/tmp, and you need to
break that up into subpackages.
Note: dh_install is a much better program, and you are recommended to
use it instead of dh_movefiles.
debian/package.files
Lists the files to be moved into a package, separated by
whitespace. The filenames listed should be relative to
debian/tmp/. You can also list directory names, and the whole
directory will be moved.
--sourcedir=dir
Instead of moving files out of debian/tmp (the default), this
option makes it move files out of some other directory. Since the
entire contents of the sourcedir is moved, specifying something
like --sourcedir=/ is very unsafe, so to prevent mistakes, the
sourcedir must be a relative filename; it cannot begin with a
`/'.
-Xitem, --exclude=item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from
being installed.
file ...
Lists files to move. The filenames listed should be relative to
debian/tmp/. You can also list directory names, and the whole
directory will be moved. It is an error to list files here unless
you use -p, -i, or -a to tell dh_movefiles which subpackage to
put them in.
Note that files are always moved out of debian/tmp by default (even
if you have instructed debhelper to use a compatibility level higher
than one, which does not otherwise use debian/tmp for anything at
all). The idea behind this is that the package that is being built
can be told to install into debian/tmp, and then files can be moved
by dh_movefiles from that directory. Any files or directories that
remain are ignored, and get deleted by dh_clean later.
