dh_clean(1)
NAME
dh_clean - clean up package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_clean [debhelperoptions] [-k] [-d] [-Xitem] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
- dh_clean is a debhelper program that is responsible for cleaning up
after a package is built. It removes the package build directories, and removes some other files including debian/files, and any detritus left behind by other debhelper commands. It also removes common files that
should not appear in a debian diff: - #*# *~ DEADJOE *.orig *.rej *.SUMS TAGS .deps/* *.P *-stamp
- It does not run "make clean" to clean up after the build process. Use
dh_auto_clean(1) to do things like that. - dh_clean (or "dh clean") should be the last debhelper command run in
the clean target in debian/rules.
FILES
- debian/clean
- Can list other files to be removed.
OPTIONS
- -k, --keep
- This is deprecated, use dh_prep(1) instead.
- -d, --dirs-only
- Only clean the package build directories, do not clean up any other files at all.
- -Xitem --exclude=item
- Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from
being deleted, even if they would normally be deleted. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude. - file ...
- Delete these files too.
