# dh\_installgsettings(1)

install GSettings overrides and set dependencies

## NAME

dh\_installgsettings - install GSettings overrides and set dependencies

## SYNOPSIS

**dh\_installgsettings** \[*debhelper options*\] \[**--priority=\<number**\>\]

## DESCRIPTION

**dh\_installgsettings** is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing GSettings override files and generating appropriate dependencies on the GSettings backend.

The dependency on the backend will be generated in **${misc:Depends}**.

## FILES

- debian/*package*.gsettings-override

  Installed into usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/10\_*package*.gschema.override in the package build directory, with "*package*" replaced by the package name.

  The format of the file is the following:

  ```
    [org.gnome.mypackage]
    boolean-setting=true
    string-setting='string'
    ...
  ```

## OPTIONS

- **--priority** *priority*

  Use *priority* (which should be a 2-digit number) as the override priority instead of 10. Higher values than ten can be used by  derived distributions (20), blend distributions (50), or site-specific packages (90).

## SEE ALSO
