NAME
dh_installinitramfs - install initramfs hooks and setup maintscripts
SYNOPSIS
dh_installinitramfs [debhelper options] [-n]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installinitramfs is a debhelper program that is responsible for
installing Debian package provided initramfs hooks.
If dh_installinitramfs installs or detects one or more initramfs
hooks in the package, then it also automatically generates the noawait
trigger update-initframfs command needed to interface with the
Debian initramfs system. This trigger is inserted into the
packaging by dh_installdeb(1).
FILES
- debian/package.initramfs-hook
-
Assumed to be an initramfs hook that will be installed into usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/package in the package build
directory. See HOOK SCRIPTS in initramfs-tools(8) for more
information about initramfs hooks.
OPTIONS
- -n, --no-scripts
-
Do not add the update-initramfs trigger even if it seems like the package
might need it. The option is called --no-scripts for historical
reasons as dh_installinitramfs would previously generate maintainer
scripts that called update-initramfs -u.
Use this option, if you need to interface with the update-initramfs
system that is not satisfied by the noawait trigger (e.g. because you need
the extra guarantees and head-aches of a await trigger).
NOTES
Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called
between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
instances of the same text to be added to triggers file.
