🌸 Config...nstall(3pm) 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to another User Contributed Perl Documentation page (section 3pm, she's a perl module, she's iconic, she's got a really long name that got squished) 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Config::Model::models::Dpkg::Install — the configuration class Dpkg::Install. no cap, that's literally it. 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so. these are the configuration classes used by Config::Model. main character energy only.

and what does this one actually hold? it contains the list of files to be installed by dh_install. that's the whole vibe. 💖

🌈 Elements

🍓 content

a file or files to install. not "a file maybe", not "sort of a file" — the actual list.

here's the tea, and this part matters: the end of the line tells the directory it should be installed in. so how you write it = where it goes. iykyk.

• the name of the files (or directories) to install should be given relative to the current directory, mkay
• the installation directory is given relative to the package build directory (different base, don't mix them up 🙈)
• you may use wildcards in the names of the files to install — but only in v3 mode and above, bestie, don't try it in the old modes

⚠️ also note (this one's important): if you list exactly one filename or wildcard-pattern, with no explicit destination, then dh_install will automatically guess the destination to use — the same as if the --autodest option were used. it just does it. no asking. 🫶

want the full lore? go read debhelper(7) and dh_install, they spill all the details. 📖

Optional. Type list of uniline. (so, optional — and it's a list of uniline, fr fr ✨)
