DH_MISSING(1) Debhelper DH_MISSING(1)
dh_missing - check for missing files
dh_missing [-Xitem] [--sourcedir=dir] [debhelper options]
dh_missing compares the list of installed files with the files in the
source directory. If any of the files (and symlinks) in the source
directory were not installed to somewhere, it will warn on stderr
about that (--list-missing) or fail (--fail-missing).
Please note that in compat 11 and earlier without either of these
options, dh_missing will silently do nothing. In compat 12,
--list-missing is the default In compat 13 and later, --fail-missing
is the default.
This may be useful if you have a large package and want to make sure
that you don't miss installing newly added files in new upstream
releases.
Remember to test different kinds of builds (dpkg-buildpackage
-A/-B/...) as you may experience varying results when only a subset
of the packages are built.
debian/not-installed
List the files that are deliberately not installed in any binary
package. Paths listed in this file are ignored by dh_missing.
However, it is not a method to exclude files from being installed
by any of the debhelper tool. If you want a tool to not install
a given file, please use its --exclude option (where available).
dh_missing will expand wildcards in this file (since debhelper
11.1). Wildcards without matches will be ignored.
Supports substitution variables in compat 13 and later as
documented in debhelper(7).
--list-missing
Warn on stderr about source files not installed to somewhere.
Note that many dh-tools acting on a path will mark the path as
installed even if it has been excluded via -X or --exclude. This
is also seen when a dh-tool is acting on a directory and
exclusion is used to ignore some files in the directory. In
either case, this will make dh_missing silently assume the
excluded files have been handled.
This is the default in compat 12.
--fail-missing
This option is like --list-missing, except if a file was missed,
it will not only list the missing files, but also fail with a
nonzero exit code.
This is the default in compat 13 and later.
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
