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 CWlocal;source;dest, where the verbatim CWlocal indicates this is an entry for a local XML catalog file, CWsource indicates where the local XML catalog resides in the source tree, and CWdest indicates the destination location for the local XML catalog under the package build area. CWdest 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 CWpackage;type;id;catalog, where the verbatim CWpackage indicates this is an entry for an XML entity to be registered in the package XML catalog file, CWtype indicates the XML entity type (public, system, uri), CWid indicates the XML entity id, and CWcatalog 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 CWroot;type;id, where the verbatim CWroot indicates this is an entry for an XML entity to be registered in the root XML catalog file, CWtype indicates the XML entity type (public, system, uri), and CWid 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 CWroot-and-package;type;id;catalog, where the verbatim CWroot-and-package indicates this is an entry for an XML entity to be registered in both the root and package XML catalog files, CWtype indicates the XML entity type (public, system, uri), CWid indicates the XML entity id, and CWcatalog indicates the local XML catalog file.

XML entity types are described in update-xmlcatalog(8). Using the CWroot or CWpackage commands, a type of CWpublic will general CWdelegatePublic statements in the applicable catalog file. Generally you will want to use the types CWpublic for any formal public identifiers, and CWsystem for any files on the local filesystem or URLs. CWuri 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 CW${misc:Depends}, so be sure to use that variable in the file debian/control. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explantion of Debhelper maintainer script snippets.

-n, --noscripts

Do not modify postinst/postrm/prerm scripts.

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.
