DH_SUIDREGISTER(R)          Debhelper          DH_SUIDREGISTER(R)



NAME
       dh_suidregister - obsolete suid registration program

SYNOPSIS
       Do not run!

DESCRIPTION
       This program used to register suid and sgid files with
       suidregister(r), but with the introduction of dpkg-sta-
       toverride(e), registration of files in this way is unnec-
       essary, and even harmful, so this program should not be
       used.

CONVERTING TO STATOVERRIDE
       Converting a package that uses this program to use the new
       statoverride mechanism is easy. Just remove the call to
       dh_suidregister from debian/rules, and add a versioned
       conflicts into your control file, as follows:

         Conflicts: suidmanager (<< 0.50)

       The conflicts is only necessary if your package used to
       register things with suidmanager; if it did not, you can
       just remove the call to this program from your rules file.
