dh_md5sums1
Generate debian/md5sums file
Usage
dh_md5sums [debhelper
options]
[-x]
[-Xitem]
[--include-conffiles]
Overview
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.
Options
-
-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.
