49 "Debhelper is used to help you build a Debian package. The philosophy behind "
50 "debhelper is to provide a collection of small, simple, and easily understood "
51 "tools that are used in F<debian/rules> to automate various common aspects of "
52 "building a package. This means less work for you, the packager. It also, to "
53 "some degree means that these tools can be changed if Debian policy changes, "
54 "and packages that use them will require only a rebuild to comply with the "
61 "A typical F<debian/rules> file that uses debhelper will call several "
62 "debhelper commands in sequence, or use L<dh(1)> to automate this "
63 "process. Examples of rules files that use debhelper are in "
64 "F</usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/>"
70 "To create a new Debian package using debhelper, you can just copy one of the "
71 "sample rules files and edit it by hand. Or you can try the B<dh-make> "
72 "package, which contains a L<dh_make|dh_make(1)> command that partially "
73 "automates the process. For a more gentle introduction, the B<maint-guide> "
74 "Debian package contains a tutorial about making your first package using "
80 msgid "DEBHELPER COMMANDS"
86 "Here is the list of debhelper commands you can use. See their man pages for "
87 "additional documentation."
97 msgid "Deprecated Commands"
102 msgid "A few debhelper commands are deprecated and should not be used."
107 msgid "#LIST_DEPRECATED#"
112 msgid "Other Commands"
118 "If a program's name starts with B<dh_>, and the program is not on the above "
119 "lists, then it is not part of the debhelper package, but it should still "
120 "work like the other programs described on this page."
125 msgid "DEBHELPER CONFIG FILES"
131 "Many debhelper commands make use of files in F<debian/> to control what they "
132 "do. Besides the common F<debian/changelog> and F<debian/control>, which are "
133 "in all packages, not just those using debhelper, some additional files can "
134 "be used to configure the behavior of specific debhelper commands. These "
135 "files are typically named debian/I<package>.foo (where I<package> of course, "
136 "is replaced with the package that is being acted on)."
142 "For example, B<dh_installdocs> uses files named F<debian/package.docs> to "
143 "list the documentation files it will install. See the man pages of "
144 "individual commands for details about the names and formats of the files "
145 "they use. Generally, these files will list files to act on, one file per "
146 "line. Some programs in debhelper use pairs of files and destinations or "
147 "slightly more complicated formats."
153 "Note for the first (or only) binary package listed in F<debian/control>, "
154 "debhelper will use F<debian/foo> when there's no F<debian/package.foo> file."
160 "In some rare cases, you may want to have different versions of these files "
161 "for different architectures or OSes. If files named "
162 "debian/I<package>.foo.I<ARCH> or debian/I<package>.foo.I<OS> exist, where "
163 "I<ARCH> and I<OS> are the same as the output of \"B<dpkg-architecture "
164 "-qDEB_HOST_ARCH>\" / \"B<dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH_OS>\", then they "
165 "will be used in preference to other, more general files."
171 "Mostly, these config files are used to specify lists of various types of "
172 "files. Documentation or example files to install, files to move, and so on. "
173 "When appropriate, in cases like these, you can use standard shell wildcard "
174 "characters (B<?> and B<*> and B<[>I<..>B<]> character classes) in the "
175 "files. You can also put comments in these files; lines beginning with B<#> "
182 "The syntax of these files is intentionally kept very simple to make then "
183 "easy to read, understand, and modify. If you prefer power and complexity, "
184 "you can make the file executable, and write a program that outputs whatever "
185 "content is appropriate for a given situation. When you do so, the output is "
186 "not further processed to expand wildcards or strip comments."

533 "behavior in various ways."
