🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

gnome-pkg-tools contains some useful tools for the Debian GNOME Packaging Team. like, that's its whole thing. it's the team's lil toolbox 💅

dh_gnome is a tool designed to provide useful functions to GNOME packages. she's here to help, she's here to serve, she's literally the main character of your build process 🎀

and specifically: dh_gnome handles some routines to be run during the binary-install phase. so when your package is getting itself installed into the binary stage, that's when she shows up and does her lil routines. periodt ✨

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• --no-gnome-versions — use this flag if you do not want to generate GNOME substvars for your packages. that's it, that's the whole option. you opt out of substvar generation by saying the flag. simple. elegant. slay 🌈

tiny side quest, not me pointing this out but: the synopsis up there says --no-gnome-version and this option here says --no-gnome-versions 👀 both spellings are written exactly like that in the page, so im just leaving them both here for you, untouched, the way the manpage wrote them 💀

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

• debhelper(7)

also, important lore: this program is a part of gnome-pkg-tools but is made to work with debhelper. so she's got her home team and her work bestie, and honestly? we love a girl with range 🫶
