dh_germinate_clean(1)

dh_germinate_clean1

Clean up files left by germinate-update-metapackage

Usage

dh_germinate_clean [debhelper options]

Overview

dh_germinate_clean is a debhelper program that cleans up some files created by "germinate-update-metapackage" that are useful for debugging but that should not appear in source packages. It removes any "*.old" files that match defined seeds (as listed in the "metapackage-map" file by a previous run of "germinate-update-metapackage"), and the "debootstrap-dir" file.

Examples

dh_germinate_clean is usually called indirectly in a rules file via the dh command.

        %:
                dh $@ --with germinate

You must build-depend on at least debhelper (>= 7.0.8) to use this form, and in any case you must build-depend on at least germinate (>= 1.18) to use this program at all.

It can also be called directly in the clean target at any time before dh_clean.

        clean:
                dh_testdir
                dh_germinate_clean
                dh_clean
