DH_GENCONTROL(1) Debhelper DH_GENCONTROL(1)
dh_gencontrol - generate and install control file
dh_gencontrol [debhelper options] [-- params]
dh_gencontrol is a debhelper program that is responsible for
generating control files, and installing them into the DEBIAN
directory with the proper permissions.
This program is merely a wrapper around dpkg-gencontrol(1), which
calls it once for each package being acted on (plus related dbgsym
packages), and passes in some additional useful flags.
Note that if you use dh_gencontrol, you must also use dh_builddeb(1)
to build the packages. Otherwise, your build may fail to build as
dh_gencontrol (via dpkg-gencontrol(1)) declares which packages are
built. As debhelper automatically generates dbgsym packages, it some
times adds additional packages, which will be built by
dh_builddeb(1).
-- params
Pass params to dpkg-gencontrol(1).
-uparams, --dpkg-gencontrol-params=params
This is another way to pass params to dpkg-gencontrol(1). It is
deprecated; use -- instead.
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
