💖 DH_INSTALLLOGCHECK — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is dh_installlogcheck, one of the debhelper girlies (it lives in the debhelper manual, section 1, iykyk) ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

dh_installlogcheck — the one that installs your logcheck rulefiles into etc/logcheck/ 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dh_installlogcheck [debhelper options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So dh_installlogcheck is a debhelper program, and its whole entire job — its main character purpose, fr fr — is installing logcheck rule files. that's it. that's the gig. and it eats. 💖

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • debian/package.logcheck.cracking
  • debian/package.logcheck.violations
  • debian/package.logcheck.violations.ignore
  • debian/package.logcheck.ignore.workstation
  • debian/package.logcheck.ignore.server
  • debian/package.logcheck.ignore.paranoid

Each one of these files — like, every single one, if it's actually present — gets installed into the corresponding subdirectories of etc/logcheck/ in the package build directories. no cap. 🌈

ngl bestie, only the ones that exist get installed. no file, no vibe, no install. 🙈

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --name=name — so instead of looking for the usual files, it's gonna go looking for files named debian/package.name.logcheck.* and install those into the corresponding subdirectories of etc/logcheck/. it uses the name you specified instead of the package's own name. iconic behaviour honestly 👑

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

Also, quick heads up: this program is a part of debhelper. it's not out here alone, it's in the debhelper family 🫶
