The source -files are the already existing files that will be symlinked from. The -destination files are the symlinks that will be created. There -.B must -be an equal number of source and destination files specified. -.P -The list can be specified in two ways. A file named debian/package.links -can list pairs of files. If you use this file, you should put each pair -of files on its own line, and separate the files within the pair with -whitespace. Also, pairs of files can be specified as parameters - these -pairs will only be created in the package build directory of the first -package dh_link is told to act on. By default, this is the first binary -package in debian/control, but if you use -p, -i, or -a flags, it will be -the first package specified by those flags. -.P -Be sure you -.B do -specify the full filename to both the source and destination files (unlike -you would do if you were using something like -.BR ln (1) -). -.P -dh_link will generate symlinks that comply with debian policy - absolute -when policy says they should be absolute, and relative links with as short a -path as possible. It will also create any subdirectories it needs to to put -the symlinks in. -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.B debhelper options -See -.BR debhelper (1) -for a list of options common to all debhelper commands. -.TP -.B \-A, \--all -Create any links specified by command line parameters in ALL packages -acted on, not just the first. -.TP -.B source destination ... -Create a file named "destination" as a link to a file named "source".

This is more a historical design flaw than a -bug. -.SH "CONFORMS TO" -Debian policy, version 3.0.1 -.SH AUTHOR -Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> |
