DH_INSTALLWM(1)                   Debhelper                  DH_INSTALLWM(1)

NAME top

       dh_installwm - register a window manager

SYNOPSIS top

       dh_installwm [debhelper options] [-n] [--priority=n] [wm ...]

DESCRIPTION top

       dh_installwm is a debhelper program that is responsible for
       generating the postinst and prerm commands that register a window
       manager with update-alternatives(8). The window manager's man page is
       also registered as a slave symlink (in v6 mode and up).  It must be
       installed in usr/share/man/man1/ in the package build directory prior
       to calling dh_installwm.  In compat 9 and earlier, the manpage was
       optional.

FILES top

       debian/package.wm
           List window manager programs to register.

           Supports substitution variables in compat 13 and later as
           documented in debhelper(7).

OPTIONS top

       --priority=n
           Set the priority of the window manager. Default is 20, which is
           too low for most window managers; see the Debian Policy document
           for instructions on calculating the correct value.

       -n, --no-scripts
           Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts. Turns this command into a
           no-op.

       -A, --all
           Modify scripts for window managers specified by command line
           parameters in ALL packages acted on, not just the first.

       wm ...
           Window manager programs to register.

NOTES top

       Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called
       between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
       instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
