SharePoint - Deploy new default.aspx through feature

I have created a feature which deploys a custom default.aspx page. The deployed file goes to the 开发者_C百科template\features{featureName} directory.

How does SharePoint know to use this default.aspx page instead of the one that is located in SiteTemplates{Site Def name} directory?

You need FeatureReceiver and SPFile.MoveTo method.

Please, use this great tutorial on changing the default.aspx:
