project
DESCRIPTION
NAME
dh-make-drupal - Builds a Debian package for the requested
Drupal project
SYNOPSIS
dh-make-drupal [options] project_name
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this program is to generate Debian packages for
any Drupal projects (that is, modules, themes or translations).
Given that Drupal developers publish their work through the main
Drupal site (http://drupal.org), this program fetches the
information for the latest available versions (for the right
Drupal release, and with the specified stability level), and
prepares a Debian package from it. This Debian package can be
locally installed using ’dpkg’, or uploaded to your Apt
repository. Keep in mind that this package only goes as far as
it can, being an automated tool. The generated packages will
probably require verification/tweaking to be of production
quality. This program has been inspired -and named in a similar
fashion to- Debian’s pkg-perl group’s dh-make-perl.
OPTIONS
-d,--drupal-version version
Drupal version
-r,--report-only
Check only for project availability, don’t download or perform
any other actions locally. Implies -D.
-f,--force
Proceed even if this will overwrite currently existing files
--debug level
Debug level for generated messages (0=highest, 5=lowest)
-s,--min-status
Minimum status to consider for packaging. Accepted values:
’recommended’, ’supported’, ’developer’. Defaults to
recommended.
-D,--dont-debianize
Do not attempt to debianize the project, only download the
tarball
-b,--no-build
Prepare the debianized directory, but omit the actual package
build process. This option is incompatible with either -D and
-r.
-R,--no-recommends
Omits the generation of the Recommends: line, which is built by
scanning of submodule-provided .info files and may be misleading
or introducing too much noise
--build-switches
Switches to pass to dpkg-buildpackage. Defaults to "-us -uc" (do
not sign the generated package). In order not to give any
switches, specify an empty quoted string (i.e.
--build-switches=’’).
-t,--tarball tarball
Use the specified tarball as the original project tar.gz, don’t
look for any other available versions and don’t download from
the Drupal website. This will require you also to provide a
project version number with -V and the project type with -T
-T,--proj-type projtype
Type of project we are packaging. This option is only meaningful
when working on a local tarball (-t), and will be ignored
otherwise. Accepted values: %s. Defaults to
ModulesThemesTranslations.
-V,--proj-version version
Provide a project version number. This option is only meaningful
when working on a local tarball (-t), and will be ignored
otherwise
-m,--mangle-version
Debian versioning logic includes the ??~?? character meaning
??anything below?? the preceding version number. This is most
useful when dealing with pre-release qualificators (in order,
1.x-dev, 1.0-alpha1, 1.0-beta, 1.0rc3). dh-make-drupal will try
to recognize such patterns and mangle them so they sort
correctly in Debian (and so that when a stable version is
released it appears as higher - For the above mentioned version
numbers, they would result in 1~~dev, 1.0~alpha1, 1.0~beta,
1.0~rc3). You can use this switch to tell dh-make-drupal to omit
this mangling.
-v,--version
Displays application version.
-h,--help
Displays help page.
