dh_md5sums - generate DEBIAN/md5sums file
dh_md5sums [
debhelper options] [
-x]
[
-Xitem] [
--include-conffiles]
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.
-
-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.
-
-Xitem, --exclude=item
- Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their
filename from being listed in the md5sums file.
