If there's a Makefile and it contains a "distclean", -"realclean", or "clean" target, then this is done by running make (or MAKE, -if the environment variable is set). If there is a setup.py or Build.PL, it -is run to clean the package. +dh_auto_clean is a debhelper program that is responsible for the I<clean> step +of the L<dh_auto(7)> building process. It tries to automatically clean up after +a package build by removing all temporary files from the build directory or +even the build directory itself as appropriate. dh_auto_clean will fail only if +the source build system clean routine fails. However, if the latter does not +exist or there is nothing to clean it will exit with zero status doing nothing. -This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, or -tries to use the wrong clean target, you're encouraged to skip using -dh_auto_clean at all, and just run make clean manually. +If dh_auto_clean does not meet your needs or does not work, it is safe to +skip/override it entirely and just run clean up manually. + +#DH_AUTO SHARED OPTIONS# =head1 OPTIONS @@ -36,6 +38,11 @@ or override the any standard parameters that dh_auto_clean passes. =back +=head1 SUPPORTED BUILD SYSTEMS + +#SUPPORTED BUILD SYSTEMS INTRO# +#SUPPORTED BUILD SYSTEMS LIST# + =cut buildsystems_init(); @@ -43,12 +50,15 @@ buildsystems_do(); =head1 SEE ALSO +L<dh_auto(7)> + L<debhelper(7)> -This program is a part of debhelper. +This program is a part of debhelper and its dh_auto package source building suite. -=head1 AUTHOR +=head1 AUTHORS -Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> + Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> + Modestas Vainius <modestas@vainius.eu> =cut |
