Please ask packaging questions on debian-ment...@lists.debian.org

The *.install file can be executable (see "Debhelper config files" in
man:debhelper(7)).  There is also dh-exec, but I had no need for it
myself so far and therefore don't know much about it.

substvars in *.install + friends

2017-05-04 Thread Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult

Hi folks,


is it possible to use the substvars mechanism for the *.install and
similar files, just like w/ control file ?

For multi-version installations, I'm keeping the whole package in a
prefix w/ the version number (see my other mail - nodejs). I don't like
to change lots of files which each version number.


thx
