DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the dh-make-pear command.
dh-make-pear creates the files required to build a debian source
package from a PHP extension as it is distributed through PEAR.
The last parameter passed to dh-make-pear can be either the .tgz
archive containing the php extension or the name of the extension. In
the second case dh-make-pear will first download the archive from
http://pear.php.net. If dh-make-pear downloads the archive itself, it
will always take the most recent version.
dh-make-pear will by default create a directory named
php-<pear-package-name> which will contain the debian files and the
unpacked files from the extension. It will also create a symlink
php-<pear-package-name>_<version>.orig.tar.gz pointing towards the
original source. After creating the files you can go into then new
directory and build the debian package with dpkg-buildpackage
-rfakeroot.
dh-make-pear tries to extract as much information about the package
from the file package.xml which is part of the pear extension.
Debian source packages created by dh-make-pear can later easily be
updated with uscan.
