DH_GNOME_CLEAN(1)

💖 DH_GNOME_CLEAN 💖

okay bestie, so this is dh_gnome_clean from the gnome-pkg-tools manual, section 1. it's giving Debian GNOME Packaging Team energy and honestly? we're obsessed. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

dh_gnome — literally just tools for the Debian GNOME Packaging Team. that's it, that's the vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dh_gnome_clean [debhelper options] [--no-control] [--check-dist]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so gnome-pkg-tools contains some genuinely useful tools for the Debian GNOME Packaging Team. no cap. 💜

dh_gnome_clean is a tool designed to provide useful functions to GNOME packages which do use debhelper as their preferred build system — similar to the CDBS routines provided by gnome-pkg-tools. it's the same energy, different era, we love a glow-up. ✨

and what does it actually do? dh_gnome_clean handles some routines that need to be run during the clean phase. that's its whole main character moment. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --no-control — use this flag if you do not want to recreate the debian/control file on top of debian/control.in, or if you don't provide the latter at all. like, if there's no .in bestie, there's nothing to build on top of, so yeah — skip it. 🙈
• --check-dist — use this flag if you want to avoid unwanted uploads to unstable. we are NOT doing accidental unstable uploads on this account, periodt. 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• debhelper(7)

also, real talk: this program is a part of gnome-pkg-tools but it's made to work with debhelper. so it's like, in the family but also doing its own thing. iconic behaviour honestly. 🫶

bestie pls note: this whole page is from the gnome-pkg-tools source, dated 2010-11-01, and it lives at the top of the page as DH_GNOME_CLEAN(1). that's the header AND the footer, so you already know. 💖

okay that's the whole manual, slay, go clean some packages responsibly. 🧚✨🌸
