DH_INSTALLINITRAMFS(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLINITRAMFS(1)
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.
