NAME

dpkg-distaddfile - add entries to debian/files

SYNOPSIS

dpkg-distaddfile [option...] filename section priority

DESCRIPTION

dpkg-distaddfile adds an entry for a named file to debian/files.

It takes three non-option arguments, the filename and the section and priority for the .changes file.

The filename should be specified relative to the directory where dpkg-genchanges will expect to find the files, usually .., rather than being a pathname relative to the current directory when dpkg-distaddfile is run.

OPTIONS

-?, --help

If set, it will be used to decide whether to activate Native Language Support, also known as internationalization (or i18n) support (since dpkg 1.19.0). The accepted values are: 0 and 1 (default).

FILES

The list of generated files which are part of the upload being prepared. dpkg-distaddfile can be used to add additional files.
