dh_installxmlcatalogs - install and register XML catalog files
dh_installxmlcatalogs [debhelper options] [-n]
dh_installxmlcatalogs is a debhelper program that installs and registers XML catalog files. It complies with the Debian XML/SGML policy.
The file debian/package.xmlcatalogs lists the local XML catalog files to be installed per package as well as the XML entities in those local XML catalog files that are to be registered in the XML catalog system.
The local XML catalog file entries in that file should be of the form
local;source;dest, where the verbatim local
indicates this is an entry for a local XML catalog file,
source indicates where the local XML catalog resides in the
source tree, and dest indicates the destination location
for the local XML catalog under the package build area.
dest should start with /usr/share/xml/.
The entries for the XML entities to be registered in the package XML
catalog file should be of the form package;type;id;catalog,
where the verbatim package indicates this is an entry for
an XML entity to be registered in the package XML catalog file,
type indicates the XML entity type (public, system, uri),
id indicates the XML entity id, and catalog
indicates the local XML catalog file.
The entries for the XML entities to be registered in the root XML
catalog file should be of the form root;type;id, where the
verbatim root indicates this is an entry for an XML entity
to be registered in the root XML catalog file, type
indicates the XML entity type (public, system, uri), and id
indicates the XML entity id.
If an entry for is to be registered identically in the root catalog
and the package catalog file, you can use the form
root-and-package;type;id;catalog, where the verbatim
root-and-package indicates this is an entry for an XML
entity to be registered in both the root and package XML catalog files,
type indicates the XML entity type (public, system, uri),
id indicates the XML entity id, and catalog
indicates the local XML catalog file.
XML entity types are described in
update-xmlcatalog (8). Using the root or
package commands, a type of public will
general delegatePublic statements in the applicable catalog
file. Generally you will want to use the types public for
any formal public identifiers, and system for any files on
the local filesystem or URLs. uri is only used for
non-local files which are not part of the external document subset,
e.g., they are not used for entities or DTDs.
dh_installxmlcatalogs automatically adds maintainer
script snippets for the registration and unregistration of the listed
XML entities in the XML catalog system (unless -n is
used). A dependency on the xml-core package will be
added to ${misc:Depends}, so be sure to use that variable
in the file debian/control. See
dh_installdeb (1) for an explanation of Debhelper
maintainer script snippets.
Do not modify postinst/postrm/prerm scripts.
Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_clean -k should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
