jh_linkjars - populate folders with symlinks to jar files
Contents
Description
If upstream ship convenience copies of third-party jar files which have been removed (see jh_repack(1)),
but the build system refers to that directory, jh_linkjars can be used to populate the directory with
symlinks to the packaged jars in /usr/share/java.
It is called either with a directory on the command line or by specifying one target directory per line
in the file debian/linkjars.
jh_linkjars will scan all of the (installed) build-dependencies and create a symlink to every jar which
is installed by those packages in the target directory.
jh_linkjars can be called with -u to remove all the symlinks in the clean target. This is done
automatically by jh_clean(1).
Files
debian/linkjars
List of directories to populate; one directory per line.
Name
jh_linkjars - populate folders with symlinks to jar files
Options
-t, --transitive
Transitively link jar files (i.e. also include indirect dependencies in the target directory).
-u, --unlink
Remove all files/links in the target directories that jh_linkjars created (or would have created).
Beyond the above, jh_linkjars also accepts the shared debhelper options documented in debhelper(7).
