dh_installxmlcatalogs - install and register XML catalog files
dh_installxmlcatalogs [debhelper options] [-n]
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.
The local XML catalog file entries in that file should be of the form
local;source;dest, where the verbatim local indicates this is an
entry for a local XML catalog file, source indicates where the
local XML catalog resides in the source tree, and dest indicates
the destination location for the local XML catalog under the package
build area. dest should start with /usr/share/xml/.
The entries for the XML entities to be registered in the package XML
catalog file should be of the form package;type;id;catalog, where
the verbatim package indicates this is an entry for an XML entity
to be registered in the package XML catalog file, type indicates
the XML entity type (public, system, uri), id indicates the XML
entity id, and catalog indicates the local XML catalog file.
The entries for the XML entities to be registered in the root XML
catalog file should be of the form root;type;id, where the verbatim
root indicates this is an entry for an XML entity to be registered
in the root XML catalog file, type indicates the XML entity type
(public, system, uri), and id indicates the XML entity id.
If an entry for is to be registered identically in the root catalog
and the package catalog file, you can use the form
root-and-package;type;id;catalog, where the verbatim
root-and-package indicates this is an entry for an XML entity to be
registered in both the root and package XML catalog files, type
indicates the XML entity type (public, system, uri), id indicates
the XML entity id, and catalog indicates 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 general
delegatePublic statements in the applicable catalog file. Generally
you will want to use the types public for any formal public
identifiers, and system for any files on the local filesystem or
URLs. uri is only used for non-local files which are not part of
the external document subset, e.g., they are not used for entities or
DTDs.
dh_installxmlcatalogs automatically adds maintainer script snippets
for the registration and unregistration of the listed XML entities in
the XML catalog system (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 the file debian/control. See
dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of Debhelper maintainer script
snippets.
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.
