NAME
dh-make-drupal - Builds a Debian package for the requested Drupal project
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this program is to generate Debian packages for any Drupal projects (that is, modules, themes or translations) - Please note
note that as of October 2010 the infrastructure for publishing translations has changed, so its current support status through this program
is suboptimal
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 verifica-
tion/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.
-v, --version
-h, --help
Display this screen
-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 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
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 FILE
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 TYPE
Type of project we are packaging. This option is only meaningful when working on a local tarball (-t), and will be ignored other-
wise. Accepted values: %s. Defaults to ["Modules", "Themes", "Translations"].
-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 PATTERN
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.
