NAME

dh_md5sums - generate DEBIAN/md5sums file

SYNOPSIS

dh_md5sums [ debhelper options ] [ -x ] [ -X item ] [ --include-conffiles ]

DESCRIPTION

dh_md5sums is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating a DEBIAN/md5sums file, which lists the md5sums of each file in the package. These files are used by dpkg --verify or the debsums (1) program.

All files in DEBIAN/ are omitted from the md5sums file, as are all conffiles (unless you use the --include-conffiles switch).

The md5sums file is installed with proper permissions and ownerships.

OPTIONS

-x , --include-conffiles

Include conffiles in the md5sums list. Note that this information is redundant since it is included in /var/lib/dpkg/status in Debian packages.

-X item , --exclude= item

Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being listed in the md5sums file.

SEE ALSO

debhelper (7)

This program is a part of debhelper.
