# dh\_installlisting(1)

install .listing files to be used by desktop-profiles package

## NAME

dh\_installlisting - install .listing files to be used by desktop-profiles package

## SYNOPSIS

**dh\_installlisting** \[**debhelper options**\] \[**filename(s)**\]

## DESCRIPTION

dh\_installlisting is a debhelper program that handles installing listing files used by the desktop-profiles package into the correct location in package builddirectories (NOTE: this command is provided by the desktop-profiles  package, so don't forget to build-depends on it). It also updates the cache of profile assignments (when it exists) to reflect the added metadata.

If a file named debian/package.listing exists (or debian/listing in case of the  main package) it is installed in etc/desktop-profiles. In addition any files  given as argument will be installed in etc/desktop-profiles as  package\_file.listing. The format of .listing files is described in  [*desktop-profiles*(7)](/desktop-profiles/7.md).

A dependency on desktop-profiles will be added to misc:Depends by using this script.
