NAME

       dh_cligacpolicy - creates and installs a CLI policy file for a package

SYNOPSIS

       dh_cligacpolicy [debhelper options] [-n]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_cligacpolicy is a debhelper program that is responsible for creating, compiling, and installing policy
       files for a Debian package.  This automatically includes postinst and prerm commands needed to install
       these policies into the system.

OPTIONS

       -n, --noscripts
           Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.

FILE FORMAT

       This file uses the debian/cligacpolicy files (either policyassemblies or debian/packagename.cligacpolicy)
       to  generate  the  policy  file.  It supports multiple versions of the policy, including mapping multiple
       versions to a single file.

       The file format of the cligacpolicy file consists of five properties per  line,  each  one  separated  by
       whitespace.

       Keyfile is a path, from the package root, to the .snk file used to sign the assembly.
       Assembly is the name of the assembly, without the .dll extension. For example, for log4net.dll, use
       log4net.
       Version Range can be a single four-part version, such as 1.2.3.4, or a full range, such as
       1.2.3.4-1.2.6.7. For a single line, the first two numbers must be identical. To have an assembly apply to
       multiple versions, such as 1.2.0.0 to 2.4.0.0, there needs to be one line for each version range.
       Assembly version is the version of the assembly being =built.
       Priority defines the priority of the policy files. Typically, each version will increase the priority and
       contains all the policy controls for prior versions.

       The  fields  can  be  separated  with spaces or tabs. Comments start the line with # characters and blank
       lines are ignored.

NOTES

       Note that this command is not idempotent. "dh_prep" should be called between invocations of this command.
       Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.

EXAMPLE

       For the log4net 1.2.10.0 version, a policy file is used to map all versions from 1.2.8.0 to 1.2.9.99 into
       the current version.

       debian/log4net.snk log4net 1.2.8.0-1.2.9.99 1.2.10.0 10
