Package Information

Descriptiondebhelper addon to remove external web resources from package documentation

This debhelper addon automatically removes remotely-hosted images (such as build status badges, coverage badges, version badges from shields.io, GitHub, GitLab, etc.), iframes, and tracking scripts from documentation files in the package source tree.

This prevents installed HTML documentation under /usr/share/doc/ from making unintended network requests when viewed.

It operates directly on source files in place (with automatic backups restored by dh_clean), supports Markdown (.md), reStructuredText (.rst), and HTML files, preserves locally-hosted images, and cleans up surrounding markup where appropriate.

By default it processes top-level README.md, README.rst, and README.html files. Specific files or directories can be passed as arguments.
