installdeb-wordlist

INSTALLDEB-WORDLIST(1)													    INSTALLDEB-WORDLIST(1)

NAME

       installdeb-wordlist - debhelper-like utility for maintainers of wordlist Debian packages

SYNOPSIS

	installdeb-wordlist [debhelper options] [options]

DESCRIPTION

       installdeb-wordlist is a debhelper like program that is responsible for installing appropriate debconf config and templates files and
       debhelper snippets in a wordlist package, according to the Debian Spell Dictionaries and Tools Policy.

       For more details, see
	/usr/share/doc/dictionaries-common-dev/dsdt-policy.txt.gz

       The actions executed by installdeb-wordlist are the following:

       o   Maintainer Scripts

	   installdeb-wordlist installs the necessary scraps of code in the postinst and postrm scripts.

       o   Language info file

	   installdeb-wordlist also checks a file containing wordlist information, called debian/info-wordlist or debian/package.info-wordlist.
	   If this file is successfully parsed, it is installed in the /var/lib/dictionaries-common/wordlist directory.

       o   Debconf files

	   o templates and config files
	       installdeb-wordlist installs the Policy compliant Debconf files from the information contained in the info-wordlist file.  These
	       files are created as debian/config (or debian/package.config) and debian/templates (or debian/package.templates).  No intervention
	       is needed here, since installdeb-wordlist will make a call to dh_installdebconf(1).

	       If the package needs to have special code in the config file, the maintainer should supply files called debian/config.in (or
	       debian/package.config.in). In the config.in file, the string "#DEBHELPER#" must appear alone in one line and start at the first
	       column.	installdeb-wordlist will replace that token with the necessary Policy compliant code (this works with config.in is either
	       a Bourne shell or Perl script).

	       If the package needs to define its own questions via the templates file the maintainer should either supply files
	       debian/po-master.templates (or debian/package.po-master.templates) together with the appropriate po files if the package handles
	       template localization through po-debconf, or debian/templates.in (or debian/package.templates.in) otherwise.  See the po-debconf(7)
	       manual page for more details and remember that the master templates name is now different.

	       The templates defined in the templates.in or po-master.templates files are merged into the Policy compliant templates by
	       installdeb-wordlist and a call to dh_installdebconf(1) is internally done.

	   o The elanguages template field
	       This field is useful if you want to override the debconf languages string with something different (since the master string remains
	       the same, this will not trigger a new debconf call) or if you really think that the languages string should be internationalized
	       for your package. Note that for most packages the poor man default localization should be enough, and translators should have
	       another priorities.

	       installdeb-wordlist default behavior is not adding an "elanguages" field to the templates file. If you want it added you have to
	       call the script with the explicit --write-elanguages option.

	       This field will be added with value taken from the "Elanguage" entry in the info file if present, or after the "Language" value
	       otherwise. Note that this is useful only if:

	       - You want to fix a buggy entry
		   In this case just fill the "Elanguage" field in the info file with the new value. This will be shown at the debconf prompt.

	       - You want to fully internationalize your entries
		   In this case some black magic is needed at first time for smooth use,

		   (a) Run installdeb-{ispell,wordlist} --no-installdebconf --write-elanguages for every package whose string should be
		   internationalized. Edit the created .templates files and remove the leading underscores in the elanguages entry if present.
		   (b) Run debconf-gettextize templates_to_be_internationalized. Check that all the desired .templates files are in
		   debian/po/POTFILES.in and remove old .config and .templates files.
		   (c) Run again installdeb-{ispell,wordlist} --no-installdebconf --write-elanguages and debconf-updatepo (no edit here) to remove
		   references to non-translatable strings. Check that the desired strings are in the po master file (debian/po/templates.pot) and
		   remove .config and .templates files. You are done. If the master "Elanguages" string is changed, repeat (c) afterward.

OPTIONS

       The usual dephelper(1) options are accepted. Options below are specific to installdeb-wordlist

       --no-installdebconf
	   Do not run dh_installdebconf nor remove templates and config file.

       --no-pre-post
	   Do not install {pre,post}{inst,rm} snippets.

       --write-elanguages
	   Create the elanguages stuff.

       --debug
	   Show some extra info.

NOTES

       This program is not part of debhelper, although it is intended to be used in wordlist packages using debhelper in its building.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(1)

       This program is part of the dictionaries-common-dev package. It is intended to be used by maintainers of wordlist packages for Debian. See
       the documentation under /usr/share/doc/dictionaries-common-dev.
