21 !!DESCRIPTION
22
23
24 dh_movefiles is a debhelper program that is responsible for
25 moving files out of debian/tmp or some other directory and
26 into other package build directories. This may be useful if
27 your package has a Makefile that installs everything into
28 debian/tmp, and you need to break that up into
29 subpackages.
30
31
32 Files named debian/package.files list the files to be moved,
33 separated by whitespace. The filenames listed should be
34 relative to debian/tmp/. You can also list directory names,
35 and the whole directory will be moved. If you prefer, you
36 can list the files to move on the command line and this will
37 apply to the first package dh_movefiles is told to act
38 on.

41 Note: dh_install is a much better program that can do
42 everything this one can, and more.

49 Instead of moving files out of debian/tmp (the default),
50 this option makes it move files out of some other directory.
51 Since the entire contents of the sourcedir is moved,
52 specifiying something like --sourcedir=/ is very unsafe, so
53 to prevent mistakes, the sourcedir must be a relative
54 filename; it cannot begin with a `/'.

60 Lists files to move. The filenames listed should be relative
61 to debian/tmp/. You can also list directory names, and the
62 whole directory will be moved. It is an error to list files
63 here unless you use -p, -i, or -a to tell dh_movefiles which
64 subpackage to put them in.
65 !!NOTES

67
68 Note that files are always moved out of debian/tmp by
69 default (even if you have instructed debhelper to use a
70 compatibility level higher than one, which does not
71 otherwise use debian/tmp for anything at all). The idea
72 behind this is that the package that is being built can be
73 told to install into debian/tmp, and then files can be moved
74 by dh_movefiles from that directory. Any files or
75 directories that remain are ignored, and get deleted by
76 dh_clean later.
