DH_FIXPERMS(1) Debhelper DH_FIXPERMS(1)
dh_fixperms - fix permissions of files in package build
directories
dh_fixperms [debhelper options] [-Xitem]
dh_fixperms is a debhelper program that is responsible for setting
the permissions of files and directories in package build
directories to a sane state -- a state that complies with Debian
policy.
dh_fixperms makes all files in usr/share/doc in the package build
directory (excluding files in the examples/ directory) be mode
644. It also changes the permissions of all man pages to mode 644.
It removes group and other write permission from all files. It
removes execute permissions from any libraries, headers, Perl
modules, or desktop files that have it set. It makes all files in
the standard bin and sbin directories, usr/games/ and etc/init.d
executable (since v4). Finally, it removes the setuid and setgid
bits from all files in the package.
When the Rules-Requires-Root field has the (effective) value of
binary-targets, dh_fixperms will also reset the ownership of all
paths to "root:root".
-Xitem, --exclude item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename
from having their permissions changed. You may use this option
multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.
