NAME

dh_md5sums - generate DEBIAN/md5sums file

SYNOPSIS

dh_md5sums [''debhelper options''? [__-x__? [__-X__''item''? [__--include-conffiles__?

DESCRIPTION

dh_md5sums is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating a DEBIAN/md5sums file, which lists the md5sums of each file in the package.

All files in DEBIAN/ are omitted from the md5sums file, as are all conffiles (unless you use the --include-conffiles switch).

The md5sums file is installed with proper permissions and ownerships.

OPTIONS

-x, --include-conffiles

Include conffiles in the md5sums list. Note that this information is redundant since it is included elsewhere in debian packages.

-Xitem, --exclude=item

Exclude files that contain ``item'' anywhere in their filename from being listed in the md5sums file.
