dh_installdefoma - install a defoma related scripts

dh_installdefoma "[debhelper options] [-n]"

dh_installdefoma is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files related to defoma (DEbian FOnt MAnager) into package build directories. dh_installdefoma can be used by defoma-aware packages and/or font packages using defoma.

It also automatically generates the postinst and pre/postrm commands needed to register a package as a defoma-aware and/or font package using defoma. See

R dh_installdeb (1) for an explanation of how this works.

If a file named debian/package.defoma exists, then it is installed into usr/share/defoma/scripts/package.defoma in the package build directory and put an un/registration method in maintainer scripts with defoma-app. If a file named debian/package.defoma-hints exists, then it is installed in etc/defoma/hints/package.hints in the package build directory and put an un/registration method in maintainer scripts with defoma-font. So when you create a defoma font package, what you need to do is only to put its hints file in debian/package.defoma-hints and install font files written in the hints file in the appropriate locations. When you create a defoma-aware package, what you need to do is only to put its defoma-script file in debian/package.defoma. The script file is automatically installed in the package build directory.

debhelper options

    See

R debhelper (1) for a list of options common to all debhelper commands.

-n, --noscripts

    Do not modify postinst/postrm scripts.

See

R debhelper (1) for a list of environment variables that affect all debhelper commands.

Note that this command is not idempotent. "dh_clean -k" should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
