DH_INSTALLWM(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLWM(1)
NAME
dh_installwm - register a window manager
SYNOPSIS
dh_installwm [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--priority=n] [wm...]
DESCRIPTION
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
debian/package.wm
List window manager programs to register.
Supports substitution variables in compat 13 and later as
documented in debhelper(7).
OPTIONS
--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
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.
