NAME

6       dh_ucf - register configuration files with ucf
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dh_ucf [debhelper options] [-A] [-n] [file ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       dh_ucf is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating the
13       postinst and postrm commands that register files with ucf(1) and
14       ucfr(1).
15

FILES

17       debian/package.ucf
18           List pairs of source and destination files to register with ucf.
19           Each pair should be put on its own line, with the source and
20           destination separated by whitespace. Both source and destination
21           must be absolute paths. The source should be a file that is
22           provided by your package, typically in /usr/share/, while the
23           destination is typically a file in /etc/.
24
25           A dependency on ucf will be generated in ${misc:Depends}.
26
27           Supports substitution variables in compat 13 and later as
28           documented in debhelper(7).
29

OPTIONS

31       -A, --all
32           Install all files specified by command line parameters in ALL
33           packages acted on.
34
35       -n, --no-scripts
36           Do not modify postinst/postrm scripts. Turns this command into a
37           no-op.
38
39       file ...
40           Install these info files into the first package acted on. (Or in
41           all packages if -A is specified).
42

NOTES

44       Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called
45       between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
46       instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
