📋 SYNOPSIS

dh_installxmlcatalogs [debhelper options] [-n]

📝 DESCRIPTION

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.

📄 Local XML Catalog File Entries

Entries in debian/package.xmlcatalogs for local catalog files use the form:

local;source;dest

• local — verbatim marker indicating a local catalog entry
• source — path to the local catalog in the source tree
• dest — destination path under the package build area (must start with /usr/share/xml/)

📦 Package XML Entity Entries

Entries for entities to be registered in the package catalog:

package;type;id;catalog

• package — verbatim marker indicating a package catalog entry
• type — XML entity type (public, system, uri)
• id — the XML entity identifier
• catalog — the local XML catalog file

🌐 Root XML Entity Entries

Entries for entities to be registered in the root catalog:

root;type;id

• root — verbatim marker indicating a root catalog entry
• type — XML entity type (public, system, uri)
• id — the XML entity identifier

🔗 Dual Registration Entries

For entries to be registered in both root and package catalogs:

root-and-package;type;id;catalog

• root-and-package — verbatim marker indicating dual registration
• type — XML entity type (public, system, uri)
• id — the XML entity identifier
• catalog — 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 generate delegatePublic statements in the applicable catalog file. Generally you will want to use:

• public — for formal public identifiers (FPIs)
• system — for files on the local filesystem or URLs
• uri — only for non-local files not part of the external document subset (e.g., not for entities or DTDs)

dh_installxmlcatalogs automatically adds maintainer script snippets for registration and unregistration of the listed XML entities (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 debian/control. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of Debhelper maintainer script snippets.

⚙️ OPTIONS

-n, --noscripts

⏭️ Do not modify postinst/postrm/prerm scripts.

📌 NOTES

⚠️ 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.
