dh_installinitramfs - install initramfs hooks and setup maintscripts
Contents
Description
dh_installinitramfs is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing Debian package provided
initramfs hooks.
If dh_installinitramfs installs or detects one or more initramfs hooks in the package, then it also
automatically generates the noawait trigger update-initframfs command needed to interface with the Debian
initramfs system. This trigger is inserted into the packaging by dh_installdeb(1).
Files
debian/package.initramfs-hook
Assumed to be an initramfs hook that will be installed into usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/package
in the package build directory. See HOOKSCRIPTS in initramfs-tools(8) for more information about
initramfs hooks.
Name
dh_installinitramfs - install initramfs hooks and setup maintscripts
Notes
Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this
command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added to triggers file.
Options
-n, --no-scripts
Do not add the update-initramfs trigger even if it seems like the package might need it. The option
is called --no-scripts for historical reasons as dh_installinitramfs would previously generate
maintainer scripts that called update-initramfs-u.
Use this option, if you need to interface with the update-initramfs system that is not satisfied by
the noawait trigger (e.g. because you need the extra guarantees and head-aches of a await trigger).
