dh_fixperms - fix permissions of files in package build directories
dh_fixperms [
debhelper options] [
-Xitem]
dh_fixperms is a debhelper program that is responsible for setting the
permissions of files and directories in package build directories to a sane
state -- a state that complies with Debian policy.
dh_fixperms makes all files in
usr/share/doc in the package build
directory (excluding files in the
examples/ directory) be mode 644. It
also changes the permissions of all man pages to mode 644. It removes group
and other write permission from all files. It removes execute permissions from
any libraries, headers, Perl modules, or desktop files that have it set. It
makes all files in the standard
bin and
sbin directories,
usr/games/ and
etc/init.d executable (since v4). Finally, it
removes the setuid and setgid bits from all files in the package.
When the
Rules-Requires-Root field has the (effective) value of
binary-targets,
dh_fixperms will also reset the ownership of all
paths to "root:root".
-
-Xitem, --exclude item
- Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their
filename from having their permissions changed. You may use this option
multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.
