✨ DH_INSTALLLOGROTATE ✨

okay bestie, this is the manual page for dh_installlogrotate from the Debhelper fam 💖 it lives in section 1 of the manual, so it's a user command, and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty". let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

dh_installlogrotate — install logrotate config files 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

dh_installlogrotate [debhelper options] [--name=name]

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so like, dh_installlogrotate is a debhelper program and its whole job — its entire moment, its main character era — is installing logrotate config files into etc/logrotate.d inside your package build directories 🗂️✨

and the way that it works is: files named debian/package.logrotate get installed. that's it, that's the trick. no cap 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --name=name — okay so instead of the usual files, it'll go looking for files named debian/package.name.logrotate and install those as etc/logrotate.d/name, rather than installing them under the package name like normal 👑 lowkey iconic if you need your config to land under a different name.

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

  • debhelper(7) — go read the big one, bestie, it's the whole vibe 🧚

this program is a part of debhelper 💜
