LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
debpear
debpear(1) General Commands Manual debpear(1)
NAME
debpear - automatically builds and installs PEAR packages as Debian packages
SYNOPSIS
debpear [options] <pear-package-name>
DESCRIPTION
debpear is a tool to automatically create and build a Debian package out of a PHP PEAR package. It will download the PEAR package from
pear.php.net, then by looking into it, create the corresponding Debian package, and eventually also installs it.
PARAMETERS
<pear-package-name>
Defines the PEAR package name you want to install, as seen on the http://pear.php.net/ site. Make sure respect the case in the name
of the package (for example: Package_NAME).
OPTIONS
--build-dir|-b
Specify the directory where the Debian package will be built.
--verbose|-v
Makes debpear more verbose.
--channel|-c channel
Specify the URL channel of the PEAR package. Currently not implemented: please contribute!
--tarball|-t tarball --pkg-version|-pv pkg-version [ --wget|-w URL ]
Do not use "pear download" to optain the PEAR package from upstream authors. Instead, use tarball and use pkg-version when building
the package. Eventually also download the tarball from URL using wget before building.
--install|-i
Install the resulting debian package in your system. Note that you must be root to use this option. If you aren't root, then debpear
will try to get root using sudo.
EXAMPLE
debpear -i Auth_RADIUS
This will create a php-auth-radius package in ./build-area, and automatically install it. Because it's written in the package.xml
shipped with Auth_RADIUS at pear.php.net, php-auth-radius will depend on php5-radius.
debpear -t current.tgz -pv 1.3.1 -w http://downloads.jasig.org/cas-clients/php/current.tgz CAS
Downloads cas-clients from http://downloads.jasig.org/cas-clients/php/current.tgz, as current.tgz in the current directory, then
builds it as if it was downloaded as CAS-1.3.1.tgz by "pear download".
IMPORTANT
Note that the debian/copyright file generated by debpear isn't good enough for redistribution of the created packages. You should
carefuly review the PEAR package license before doing so. Also, debpear has been created for convenience, but it will never replace
the manual work of an experienced Debian maintainer for creating PEAR packages. It can, however, be used to create a template pack-
age quickly, before a careful review, in order to save time building a Debian PEAR package.
AUTHORS
debpear has been written by Thomas Goirand <zigo@debian.org>, and is maintained inside the PKG PHP PEAR Debian team, that can be
reached at: <pkg-php-pear@lists.alioth.debian.org>.
