dh_xul-ext - calculate XUL extension dependencies
SYNOPSIS
dh_xul-ext [options]
DESCRIPTION
dh_xul-ext is a helper tool for packaging XUL extensions. It calculates the supported XUL applications for the packages that contain an
install.rdf file. It will set the substitution variables xpi:Depends, xpi:Recommends, xpi:Breaks, xpi:Enhances, and xpi:Provides. Unknown
options will be ignored.
OPTIONS -h, --help
Display a brief help message.
-a, --all
Expand substvars to all known XUL applications. If this parameter is not provided, substvars will only be expanded to the XUL appli-
cations that are available on your distribution. Use this parameter if you want to create a package that can be installed on all
Debian-based systems without recompiling.
-p package, --package=package
Calcalate the substvars only for the specified package. If this parameter is not provided, all package listed in the control file
will be processed.
-v, --verbose
Print more information.
ENVIRONMENT
DH_XUL_EXT_VENDOR
The vendor (for example, Debian or Ubuntu) that should be used for calculating the dependencies. dpkg-vendor(1) will be used for
determining the vendor if this environment variable is not set. Setting the variable to all will have the same effect than calling
dh_xul-ext with --all.
