DECLEAN(1) General Commands Manual DECLEAN(1) NAME declean -- clean up after a Debian package build SYNOPSIS declean DESCRIPTION The declean utility attempts to clean up the files generated by the build of a Debian source package. It is intended to be used after a "debuild clean" or equivalent command, and removes the *.deb, *.changes, etc. files from the parent directory. Actually, declean removes all files with names containing an underscore (`*_*'), and then restores the original source archives by copying everything from the parent directory's dist/ subdirec- tory back into the parent directory. This is all a bit complicated; see below for a simple example :) RETURN VALUES The declean utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. If the parent directory does not contain a dist/ subdirectory, declean will not remove any files but display an error message instead to prevent its being invoked from the wrong directory or destroying a package's source archive. ENVIRONMENT The declean utility's operation is currently not directly affected by its environment. FILES The declean utility's operation is currently not directly affected by any files. EXAMPLES My personal workflow when modifying a Debian package is: apt-get source timelimit mkdir dist cp *.orig.tar.gz dist/ cd timelimit*/ debuild -uc -us debuild clean declean (repeat the last three steps ad infinitum ;) SEE ALSO debuild(1), dpkg-source(1) HISTORY The declean utility was written by Peter Pentchev in 2005.
