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 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 debian/rules file that uses debhelper will call several debhelper "
61 "commands in sequence. Debhelper commands are all named with a \"dh_\" "
62 "prefix. 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 dh-make package, "
71 "which contains a L<dh_make|dh_make(1)> command that partially automates the "
72 "process. For a more gentle introduction, the maint-guide debian package "
73 "contains a tutorial about making your first package using debhelper."
78 msgid "DEBHELPER COMMANDS"
84 "Here is the complete list of available debhelper commands. See their man "
85 "pages for additional documentation."
96 "If a program's name starts with \"dh_\", and the program is not on the above "
97 "list, then it is not part of the debhelper package, but it should still work "
98 "like the other programs described on this page."
103 msgid "DEBHELPER CONFIG FILES"
109 "Many debhelper commands make use of files in F<debian/> to control what they "
110 "do. Besides the common F<debian/changelog> and F<debian/control>, which are "
111 "in all packages, not just those using debhelper, some additional files can "
112 "be used to configure the behavior of specific debhelper commands. These "
113 "files are typically named debian/package.foo (where \"package\" of course, "
114 "is replaced with the package that is being acted on)."
120 "For example, dh_installdocs uses files named debian/package.docs to list the "
121 "documentation files it will install. See the man pages of individual "
122 "commands for details about the names and formats of the files they use. "
123 "Generally, these files will list files to act on, one file per line. Some "
124 "programs in debhelper use pairs of files and destinations or slightly more "
125 "complicated formats."
131 "Note that if a package is the first (or only) binary package listed in "
132 "debian/control, debhelper will use debian/foo if no debian/package.foo file "
139 "In some rare cases, you may want to have different versions of these files "
140 "for different architectures. If files named debian/package.foo.arch exist, "
141 "where \"arch\" is the same as the output of \"dpkg-architecture "
142 "-qDEB_HOST_ARCH\", then they will be used in preference to other, more "
149 "In many cases, these config files are used to specify various types of "
150 "files. Documentation or example files to install, files to move, and so on. "
151 "When appropriate, in cases like these, you can use standard shell wildcard "
152 "characters ('?' and '*' and '[..]' character classes) in the files."
158 "You can also put comments in these files; lines beginning with \"#\" are "
164 msgid "SHARED DEBHELPER OPTIONS"
169 msgid "The following command line options are supported by all debhelper programs."
174 msgid "B<-v>, B<--verbose>"
179 msgid "Verbose mode: show all commands that modify the package build directory."
190 "Do not really do anything. If used with -v, the result is that the command "
191 "will output what it would have done."
196 msgid "B<-a>, B<--arch>"
201 msgid "Act on all architecture dependent packages."
206 msgid "B<-i>, B<--indep>"
211 msgid "Act on all architecture independent packages."
216 msgid "B<->I<ppackage>, B<--package=>I<package>"
222 "Act on the package named \"package\". This option may be specified multiple "
223 "times to make debhelper operate on a given set of packages."
228 msgid "B<-s>, B<--same-arch>"
234 "This is a smarter version of the -a flag, that is used in some rare "
235 "circumstances. It understands that if the control file lists \"Architecture: "
236 "i386\" for the package, the package should not be acted on on other "
237 "architectures. So this flag makes the command act on all \"Architecture: "
238 "any\" packages, as well as on any packages that have the current "
239 "architecture explicitly specified. Contrast to the -a flag, which makes the "
240 "command work on all packages that are not architecture independent."
245 msgid "B<-N>I<package>, B<--no-package=>I<package>"
251 "Do not act on the specified package even if an -a, -i, or -p option lists "
252 "the package as one that should be acted on."
257 msgid "B<-P>I<tmpdir>, B<--tmpdir=>I<tmpdir>"
262 msgid "Use \"tmpdir\" for package build directory. The default is debian/<package>"
267 msgid "B<--mainpackage=>I<package>"
273 "This little-used option changes the package which debhelper considers the "
274 "\"main package\", that is, the first one listed in debian/control, and the "
275 "one for which debian/foo files can be used instead of the usual "
276 "debian/package.foo files."
281 msgid "COMMON DEBHELPER OPTIONS"
287 "The following command line options are supported by some debhelper "
288 "programs. See the man page of each program for a complete explanation of "
289 "what each option does."

333 msgid "Multiple binary package support"
339 "If your source package generates more than one binary package, debhelper "
340 "programs will default to acting on all binary packages when run. If your "
341 "source package happens to generate one architecture dependent package, and "
342 "another architecture independent package, this is not the correct behavior, "
343 "because you need to generate the architecture dependent packages in the "
344 "binary-arch debian/rules target, and the architecture independent packages "
345 "in the binary-indep debian/rules target."
351 "To facilitate this, as well as give you more control over which packages are "
352 "acted on by debhelper programs, all debhelper programs accept the B<-a>, "
353 "B<-i>, B<-p>, and B<-s> parameters. These parameters are cumulative. If "
354 "none are given, debhelper programs default to acting on all packages listed "
355 "in the control file."
361 "See F</usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/rules.multi> for an example of how "
362 "to use this in a package that generates multiple binary packages."
367 msgid "Automatic generation of debian install scripts"
373 "Some debhelper commands will automatically generate parts of debian "
374 "maintainer scripts. If you want these automatically generated things "
375 "included in your existing debian maintainer scripts, then you need to add "
376 "\"#DEBHELPER#\" to your scripts, in the place the code should be added. "
377 "\"#DEBHELPER#\" will be replaced by any auto-generated code when you run "
384 "If a script does not exist at all and debhelper needs to add something to "
385 "it, then debhelper will create the complete script."
391 "All debhelper commands that automatically generate code in this way let it "
392 "be disabled by the -n parameter (see above)."
398 "Note that the inserted code will be shell code, so you cannot directly use "
399 "it in a perl script. If you would like to embed it into a perl script, here "
400 "is one way to do that (note that I made sure that $1, $2, etc are set with "
408 " my $temp=\"set -e\\nset -- @ARGV\\n\" . << 'EOF';\n"
411 " system ($temp) / 256 == 0\n"
412 " \tor die \"Problem with debhelper scripts: $!\";\n"
418 msgid "Automatic generation of miscellaneous dependencies."
424 "Some debhelper commands may make the generated package need to depend on "
425 "some other packages. For example, if you use L<dh_installdebconf(1)>, your "
426 "package will generally need to depend on debconf. Or if you use "
427 "L<dh_installxfonts(1)>, your package will generally need to depend on a "
428 "particular version of xutils. Keeping track of these miscellaneous "
429 "dependencies can be annoying since they are dependant on how debhelper does "
430 "things, so debhelper offers a way to automate it."
436 "All commands of this type, besides documenting what dependencies may be "
437 "needed on their man pages, will automatically generate a substvar called "
438 "${misc:Depends}. If you put that token into your debian/control file, it "
439 "will be expanded to the dependencies debhelper figures you need."
445 "This is entirely independent of the standard ${shlibs:Depends} generated by "
446 "L<dh_makeshlibs(1)>, and the ${perl:Depends} generated by L<dh_perl(1)>. "
447 "You can choose not to use any of these, if debhelper's guesses don't match "
453 msgid "Package build directories"
459 "By default, all debhelper programs assume that the temporary directory used "
460 "for assembling the tree of files in a package is debian/<package>."
466 "Sometimes, you might want to use some other temporary directory. This is "
467 "supported by the -P flag. For example, \"dh_installdocs -Pdebian/tmp\", will "
468 "use debian/tmp as the temporary directory. Note that if you use -P, the "
469 "debhelper programs can only be acting on a single package at a time. So if "
470 "you have a package that builds many binary packages, you will need to also "
471 "use the -p flag to specify which binary package the debhelper program will "
477 msgid "Debhelper compatibility levels"
483 "From time to time, major non-backwards-compatible changes need to be made to "
484 "debhelper, to keep it clean and well-designed as needs change and its author "
485 "gains more experience. To prevent such major changes from breaking existing "
486 "packages, the concept of debhelper compatibility levels was introduced. You "
487 "tell debhelper which compatibility level it should use, and it modifies its "
488 "behavior in various ways."
494 "Tell debhelper what compatibility level to use by writing a number to "
495 "debian/compat. For example, to turn on V5 mode:"
502 " % echo 5 > debian/compat\n"
509 "Unless otherwise indicated, all debhelper documentation assumes that you are "
510 "using the most recent compatibility level, and in most cases does not "
511 "indicate if the behavior is different in an earlier compatibility level, so "
512 "if you are not using the most recent compatibility level, you're advised to "
513 "read below for notes about what is different in earlier compatibility "
519 msgid "These are the available compatibility levels:"
530 "This is the original debhelper compatibility level, and so it is the default "
531 "one. In this mode, debhelper will use debian/tmp as the package tree "

571 "Debhelper config files support globbing via * and ?, when appropriate. To "
572 "turn this off and use those characters raw, just prefix with a backslash."

633 msgid "Comments are ignored in debhelper config files."

676 "it sees the man page in usr/share/man/man1 in the package build directory."
682 "dh_builddeb did not previously delete everything matching DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE, "
683 "if it was set to a list of things to exclude, such as \"CVS:.svn\". Now it "
690 "dh_installman allows overwriting existing man pages in the package build "
691 "directory. In previous compatability levels it silently refuses to do this."
696 msgid "Doc directory symlinks"
702 "Sometimes it is useful to make a package not contain a "
703 "/usr/share/doc/package directory at all, instead placing just a dangling "
704 "symlink in the binary package, that points to some other doc "
705 "directory. Policy says this is ok if your package depends on the package "
706 "whose doc directory it uses. To accomplish this, just don't tell debhelper "
707 "to install any documentation files into the package, and use dh_link to set "
708 "up the symlink (or do it by hand), and debhelper should do the right thing: "
709 "notice it is a dangling symlink and not try to install a copyright file or "
721 "Debhelper includes support for udebs. To create a udeb with debhelper, add "
722 "\"XC-Package-Type: udeb\" to the package's stanza in debian/control, and "
723 "build-depend on debhelper (>= 4.2). Debhelper will try to create udebs that "
724 "comply with debian-installer policy, by making the generated package files "
725 "end in \".udeb\", not installing any documentation into a udeb, skipping "
726 "over preinst, postrm, prerm, and config scripts, etc."
737 "In general, if any debhelper program needs a directory to exist under "
738 "debian/, it will create it. I haven't bothered to document this in all the "
739 "man pages, but for example, dh_installdeb knows to make "
740 "debian/<package>/DEBIAN/ before trying to put files there, dh_installmenu "
741 "knows you need a debian/<package>/usr/share/menu/ before installing the menu "
748 "Once your package uses debhelper to build, be sure to add debhelper to your "
749 "Build-Depends line in debian/control. You should build-depend on a version "
750 "of debhelper equal to (or greater than) the debhelper compatibility level "
751 "your package uses. So if your package used compatibility level 5:"
758 " Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5)\n"
775 "Set to 1 to enable verbose mode. Debhelper will output every command it runs "
776 "that modifies files on the build system."

798 msgid "Set to 1 to enable no-act mode."
809 "Anything in this variable will be prepended to the command line arguments of "
810 "all debhelper commands. This is useful in some situations, for example, if "
811 "you need to pass -p to all debhelper commands that will be run. One good way "
