The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

NAME

DhMakePerl::Command::Packaging - common routines for 'make' and 'refresh' dh-make-perl commands

METHODS

main_file(file_name)

Constructs a file name relative to the main source directory, "main_dir"

debian_file(file_name)

Constructs a file name relative to the debian/ subdurectory of the main source directory.

explained_dependency $reason, $dependencies, @dependencies

Adds the list of dependencies to $dependencies and shows $reason if in verbose mode.

Used to both bump a dependency and tell the user why.

$dependencies is an instance of Debian::Dependencies class, and @dependencies is a list of Debian::Dependency instances or strings.

The message printed looks like $reason needs @dependencies.

configure_cpan

Configure CPAN module. It is safe to call this method more than once, it will do nothing if CPAN is already configured.

discover_dependencies

Just a wrapper around $self->control->discover_dependencies which provides the right parameters to it.

Returns a list of missing modules.

discover_utility_deps

Determines whether a certain version of debhelper(1) or quilt(1) is needed by the build process.

The following special cases are detected:

Module::AutoInstall

If Module::AutoInstall is discovered in "" in inc, debhelper dependency is raised to 7.2.13.

dh --with=quilt

dh --with=quilt needs debhelper 7.0.8 and quilt 0.46-7.

dh --with=bash-completion

dh --with=bash-completion needs debhelper 7.0.8 and bash-completion 1:1.0-3.

dh --with=perl_dbi

dh --with=perl_dbi needs debhelper 7.0.8 and libdbi-perl 1.612.

dh --buildsystem=buildsystem

dh --buildsystem=buildsystem needs debhelper 7.3.7.

quilt.make

If /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make is included in debian/rules, a build-dependency on quilt is added.

debhelper override targets

Targets named override_dh_... are supported by debhelper since 7.0.50

Makefile.PL created by Module::Build::Compat

Building such packages requires debhelper 7.0.17 (see http://bugs.debian.org/496157) =back

Module::Build

The proper build-dependency in this case is

    perl

The unversioned dependency on perl is set as Lenny has already 5.10 which includes first Module::Build.

makefile_pl_is_MBC

Checks if Makefile.PL is a compatibility wrapper around Build.PL provided by Module::Build::Compat.

backup_file(file_name)

Creates a backup copy of the specified file by adding .bak to its name. If the backup already exists, it is overwritten.

Does nothing unless the backups option is set.
