18 .TH deb\-conffiles 5 "%RELEASE_DATE%" "%VERSION%" "dpkg suite"
21 deb\-conffiles \- package conffiles
27 A package declares its list of conffiles by including a \fIconffiles\fP file
28 in its control archive (i.e. \fIDEBIAN/conffiles\fP during package creation).
30 This file contains a list of files, one per line.
31 They should be listed as absolute pathnames, and should exist in the binary
32 package, otherwise \fBdpkg\fP(1) will ignore them (although by default
33 \fBdpkg\-deb\fP(1) will refuse to build such binary packages).
34 Trailing whitespace will be trimmed, and empty lines will be ignored.
