48 "Debhelper is used to help you build a Debian package. The philosophy behind "
49 "debhelper is to provide a collection of small, simple, and easily understood "
50 "tools that are used in F<debian/rules> to automate various common aspects of "
51 "building a package. This means less work for you, the packager. It also, to "
52 "some degree means that these tools can be changed if Debian policy changes, "
53 "and packages that use them will require only a rebuild to comply with the "
60 "A typical F<debian/rules> file that uses debhelper will call several "
61 "debhelper commands in sequence, or use L<dh(1)> to automate this "
62 "process. Examples of rules files that use debhelper are in "
63 "F</usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/>"
69 "To create a new Debian package using debhelper, you can just copy one of the "
70 "sample rules files and edit it by hand. Or you can try the B<dh-make> "
71 "package, which contains a L<dh_make|dh_make(1)> command that partially "
72 "automates the process. For a more gentle introduction, the B<maint-guide> "
73 "Debian package contains a tutorial about making your first package using "
79 msgid "DEBHELPER COMMANDS"
85 "Here is the list of debhelper commands you can use. See their man pages for "
86 "additional documentation."
96 msgid "Deprecated Commands"
101 msgid "A few debhelper commands are deprecated and should not be used."
106 msgid "#LIST_DEPRECATED#"
111 msgid "Other Commands"
117 "If a program's name starts with B<dh_>, and the program is not on the above "
118 "lists, then it is not part of the debhelper package, but it should still "
119 "work like the other programs described on this page."
124 msgid "DEBHELPER CONFIG FILES"
130 "Many debhelper commands make use of files in F<debian/> to control what they "
131 "do. Besides the common F<debian/changelog> and F<debian/control>, which are "
132 "in all packages, not just those using debhelper, some additional files can "
133 "be used to configure the behavior of specific debhelper commands. These "
134 "files are typically named debian/I<package>.foo (where I<package> of course, "
135 "is replaced with the package that is being acted on)."
141 "For example, B<dh_installdocs> uses files named F<debian/package.docs> to "
142 "list the documentation files it will install. See the man pages of "
143 "individual commands for details about the names and formats of the files "
144 "they use. Generally, these files will list files to act on, one file per "
145 "line. Some programs in debhelper use pairs of files and destinations or "
146 "slightly more complicated formats."
152 "Note that if a package is the first (or only) binary package listed in "
153 "F<debian/control>, debhelper will use F<debian/foo> if no "
154 "F<debian/package.foo> file can be found."
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 "In many cases, these config files are used to specify 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 files."
180 "You can also put comments in these files; lines beginning with B<#> are "

521 msgid "Multiple binary package support"
527 "If your source package generates more than one binary package, debhelper "
528 "programs will default to acting on all binary packages when run. If your "
529 "source package happens to generate one architecture dependent package, and "
530 "another architecture independent package, this is not the correct behavior, "
531 "because you need to generate the architecture dependent packages in the "
532 "binary-arch F<debian/rules> target, and the architecture independent "
533 "packages in the binary-indep F<debian/rules> target."
539 "To facilitate this, as well as give you more control over which packages are "

542 "none are given, debhelper programs default to acting on all packages listed "

599 msgid "Automatic generation of miscellaneous dependencies."
605 "Some debhelper commands may make the generated package need to depend on "
606 "some other packages. For example, if you use L<dh_installdebconf(1)>, your "
607 "package will generally need to depend on debconf. Or if you use "
608 "L<dh_installxfonts(1)>, your package will generally need to depend on a "
609 "particular version of xutils. Keeping track of these miscellaneous "
610 "dependencies can be annoying since they are dependant on how debhelper does "
611 "things, so debhelper offers a way to automate it."
617 "All commands of this type, besides documenting what dependencies may be "
618 "needed on their man pages, will automatically generate a substvar called "
619 "B<${misc:Depends}>. If you put that token into your F<debian/control> file, "
620 "it will be expanded to the dependencies debhelper figures you need."
626 "This is entirely independent of the standard B<${shlibs:Depends}> generated "
627 "by L<dh_makeshlibs(1)>, and the B<${perl:Depends}> generated by "
628 "L<dh_perl(1)>. You can choose not to use any of these, if debhelper's "

641 "for assembling the tree of files in a package is debian/I<package>."
647 "Sometimes, you might want to use some other temporary directory. This is "
648 "supported by the B<-P> flag. For example, \"B<dh_installdocs "
649 "-Pdebian/tmp>\", will use B<debian/tmp> as the temporary directory. Note "
650 "that if you use B<-P>, the debhelper programs can only be acting on a single "
651 "package at a time. So if you have a package that builds many binary "
