DH_APPORT(1)

✨ NAME ✨

dh_installapport — install apport package hooks 💖 (and yes bestie, the page you're reading is the DH_APPORT(1) manual, the synopsis calls the command dh_apport, it's giving two-name energy, we move 🫶)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dh_apport [debhelper options]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so dh_apport is a debhelper program and what it does is install apport package hooks into your package build directories. that's it, that's the job. no cap. it's a tiny little icon doing one thing and doing it correctly ✨

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

• debian/package.apport — this one gets installed into /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/package.py inside the package build directory. it's the file that controls apport's bug filing for this package. your package, your rules 💅
• debian/source.apport — this one goes into /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_src.py (where src is the current source package name), and it lands in the package build directory of the first package dh_apport is told to act on. and by default that first package is the first binary package in debian/control — BUT if you use the -p, -i, or -a flags, then it's the first package specified by those flags instead. anyway this file is the one that controls apport's bug filing for all the binary packages built by this source package. it's giving main character of the whole source tree 👑

lowkey remember: the "first package" thing depends on your flags, so don't be surprised when source.apport shows up somewhere unexpected 🙈
