dh-make-ruby

DH-MAKE-RUBY(1) 														   DH-MAKE-RUBY(1)

NAME

       dh-make-ruby - build Debian source package from Ruby library

USAGE

       dh-make-ruby [OPTIONS] TARBALL|DIRECTORY

DESCRIPTION

       dh-make-ruby will create a basic Debian source package from a tarball named TARBALL generated with gem2tgz, or from a DIRECTORY containing
       Ruby code and metadata in a .gemspec file.

OPTIONS

       -p PACKAGE, --package PACKAGE
	   Uses PACKAGE as package name. By default, new packages will be named as ruby-$gem, where $gem is the upstream name. If the package is
	   mainly used as a library, then it should use the default. On the other hand, if the packages is mainly used as an application, then you
	   should drop the ruby- prefix by using this option an explicit package u.

       --ruby-versions VERSIONS
	   Ruby versions to build the package for. This is used to generate the X-Ruby-Versions: field in the source package, that can later be
	   used to tune this value.  By default, gem2deb generates a package that works on all known Ruby versions, but it might be necessary to
	   only build the package for Ruby 1.8, for example (using --ruby-versions "ruby1.8").

       -h, --help
	   Displays the help

       -v, --version
	   Displays version information and exits.
