NAME

dpkg-distaddfile - add entries to debian/files

SYNOPSIS

dpkg-distaddfile [option...] filename section priority

DESCRIPTION

dpkg-distaddfile adds an entry for a named file to debian/files.
It takes three non-option arguments, the filename and the section and priority for the .changes file.
The filename should be specified relative to the directory where dpkg-genchanges will expect to find the files, usually .., rather than being a pathname relative to the current directory when dpkg-distaddfile is run.

OPTIONS

Read or write the list of files to be uploaded here, rather than using debian/files.

-?, --help

Show the usage message and exit.

--version

Show the version and exit.

FILES

debian/files

The list of generated files which are part of the upload being prepared. dpkg-distaddfile can be used to add additional files.
