dh_prep - perform cleanups in preparation for building a binary package
dh_prep [
debhelper options] [
-Xitem]
dh_prep is a debhelper program that performs some file cleanups in
preparation for building a binary package. (This is what
dh_clean -k
used to do.) It removes the package build directories,
debian/tmp, and
some temp files that are generated when building a binary package.
It is typically run at the top of the
binary-arch and
binary-indep
targets, or at the top of a target such as install that they depend on.
-
-Xitem --exclude=item
- Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their
filename from being deleted, even if they would normally be deleted. You
may use this option multiple times to build up a list of things to
exclude.
