DH_GENCONTROL
NAMESYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
OPTIONS
SEE ALSO
AUTHOR
NAME
dh_gencontrol - generate and install control file
SYNOPSIS
dh_gencontrol [ debhelper options ] [ -- params ]
DESCRIPTION
dh_gencontrol is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating control files, and installing them into the DEBIAN directory with the proper permissions.
This program is merely a wrapper around dpkg-gencontrol (1), which calls it once for each package being acted on (plus related dbgsym packages), and passes in some additional useful flags.
Note that if you use dh_gencontrol , you must also use dh_builddeb (1) to build the packages. Otherwise, your build may fail to build as dh_gencontrol (via dpkg-gencontrol (1)) declares which packages are built. As debhelper automatically generates dbgsym packages, it some times adds additional packages, which will be built by dh_builddeb (1).
OPTIONS
-- params
Pass params to dpkg-gencontrol (1).
-u params , --dpkg-gencontrol-params= params
This is another way to pass params to dpkg-gencontrol (1). It is deprecated; use -- instead.
SEE ALSO
debhelper (7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
