=head1 NAME

|
|
deb-conffiles - package conffiles
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
B<DEBIAN/conffiles>
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
A package declares its list of conffiles by including a I<conffiles> file
|
|
in its control archive (i.e. I<DEBIAN/conffiles> during package creation).
|
|
|
|
This file contains a list of files, one per line, with an optional leading
|
|
flag separated by whitespace.
|
|
The conffiles must be listed as absolute pathnames.
|
|
Trailing whitespace will be trimmed, but empty or whitespace-only lines are
|
|
not accepted.
|
|
|
|
Files without a flag should exist in the binary package, otherwise L<dpkg(1)>
|
|
will ignore them.
|
|
|
|
There is currently only one flag supported, B<remove-on-upgrade>, to mark
|
|
that a conffile needs to be removed on the next upgrade (since dpkg 1.20.6).
|
|
These files must not exist in the binary package, as both L<dpkg(1)> and
|
|
L<dpkg-deb(1)> will not accept building nor processing such binary packages.
