DH_USRLOCAL(1) Debhelper DH_USRLOCAL(1)
dh_usrlocal - migrate usr/local directories to maintainer scripts
dh_usrlocal [debhelper options] [-n]
dh_usrlocal is a debhelper program that can be used for building
packages that will provide a subdirectory in /usr/local when
installed.
It finds subdirectories of usr/local in the package build
directory, and removes them, replacing them with maintainer script
snippets (unless -n is used) to create the directories at install
time, and remove them when the package is removed, in a manner
compliant with Debian policy. These snippets are inserted into the
maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an
explanation of debhelper maintainer script snippets.
When the DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT environment variable is not
(effectively) binary-targets, the directories in /usr/local will
be handled as if they were owned by root:root (see below).
When the DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT environment variable has an
effective value of binary-targets, the owners, groups and
permissions will be preserved with the sole exception where the
directory is owned by root:root.
If a directory is owned by root:root, then ownership will be
determined at install time. The ownership and permission bits
will either be root:root mode 0755 or root:staff mode 02775. The
actual choice depends on whether the system has
/etc/staff-group-for-usr-local (as documented in the Debian Policy
Manual §9.1.2 since version 4.1.4)
-n, --no-scripts
Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.
Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be
called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may
cause multiple instances of the same text to be added to
maintainer scripts.
