10
12 dh_installwm is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating
13 the postinst and prerm commands that register a window manager with
14 update-alternatives(8). The window manager's man page is also
15 registered as a slave symlink (in v6 mode and up). It must be
16 installed in usr/share/man/man1/ in the package build directory prior
17 to calling dh_installwm. In compat 9 and earlier, the manpage was
18 optional.
19
21 debian/package.wm
22 List window manager programs to register.
23
24 Supports substitution variables in compat 13 and later as
25 documented in debhelper(7).
26
28 --priority=n
29 Set the priority of the window manager. Default is 20, which is too
30 low for most window managers; see the Debian Policy document for
31 instructions on calculating the correct value.
32
33 -n, --no-scripts
34 Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts. Turns this command into a no-
35 op.
36
37 -A, --all
38 Modify scripts for window managers specified by command line
39 parameters in ALL packages acted on, not just the first.
40
41 wm ...
42 Window manager programs to register.
43
45 Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called
46 between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
47 instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
