NAME

Debian::Package::Make::Debhelper - Perl extension for autobuilding Debian packages

SYNOPSIS

Debian::Package::Make::Debhelper is an implementation of the Debian::Package::Make interface that creates default files for debhelper(7).

ATTRIBUTES

standards_version
build_depends build_depends_indep
binaries

PUBLIC INTERFACE

add_binary

Causes a binary package $binname with $attributes to be added.

Valid attributes include:

depends suggests recommends conflicts
ARRAYs containing the dependencies. This may include terms that are interpreted by Debhelper scripts, i.e. ${shlib:Depends}.
description, longdesc
The short and long description for the binary package.

prepare_files

prepare_files populates $self-{files}> with sensible defaults for a debhelper(7)-based setup. At the moment, this includes the following files, but other files may be added in later versions of Debian::Package::Make.

debian/control
debian/changelog
debian/compat
debian/rules

A subclass that uses prepare_files should add a proper debian/copyright file and populate debian/install, debian/docs, debian/links and/or patch the entry for debian/rules. See debhelper(7) for details.

BUGS

This module lacks documentation. For the time being, please refer to the scripts in the examples directory.
