NAME

       debnest_make - creates a nested debian source package tree

SYNOPSIS

       debnest_make <.dsc> [<suffix>]

DESCRIPTION

       Debnest is a program to create a nested debian source package tree from the specified debian source control file <.dsc>. The nested debian
       source package will be named as <its original source package>-debian by default and its upstream version will be <original debian source
       version> and its revision will be 1.  If you want to change -debian, you can specify it to second argument.

EXAMPLES

       This creates debnest-debian-0.0.1/ and debnest-debian-0.0.1.orig/

	 ~$ debnest_make /tmp/debnest_0.0.1.dsc
	 ~$ ls
	 debnest-debian-0.0.1/	debnest-debian-0.0.1.orig/

	 ~$ cd debnest-debian-0.0.1
	 ~$ debuild
	 ~$ ls ..
	 debnest-debian-0.0.1/		 debnest-debian_0.0.1-1_i386.changes
	 debnest-debian_0.0.1-1.diff.gz  debnest-debian_0.0.1.orig.tar.gz
	 debnest-debian_0.0.1-1.dsc	 debnest_0.0.1-1_all.deb

	 ~$ tar ztf ../debnest-debian_0.0.1.orig.tar.gz
	 debnest-debian-0.0.1.orig/
	 debnest-debian-0.0.1.orig/debnest_0.0.1.tar.gz
	 debnest-debian-0.0.1.orig/debnest_0.0.1.dsc

       This creates debnest-local-0.0.1/ and debnest-local-0.0.1.orig/

	 ~$ debnest_make /tmp/debnest_0.0.1.dsc -local
	 ~$ ls
	 debnest-local-0.0.1/  debnest-local-0.0.1.orig/

ENVIRONMENT

       EMAIL, DEBEMAIL

	 If  either  of  these	variables  is set, it will be used as the
	 maintainer/uploader's email address.
	 If both are set, DEBEMAIL will take precedence.
	 If neither is set, the current user's email address (or, if that
	 fails, the email of the last original package uploader)
	 will be used.

       DEBFULLNAME

	 The maintainer/uploader's full name to be used.
	 If  unset, the name specified in the passwd file or,
	 if there is none, the	name  of  the  last
	 original package uploader.

       DEBNEST_RULES

	 The rules file to be used. If unset, /usr/share/debneset/rules is
	 used. If you want to use cdbs based rules, you would set it
	 '/usr/share/debnest/rules-cdbs'. Because /usr/share/debnest/
	 is a default search path, you can specify just 'rules-cdbs'.

       EXTRA_BUILDDEP

	 Extra build-dependency to be added in your new debian/control.
	 Default is ", debnest"
