install-xpi(1) [debian man page]

INSTALL-XPI(1)						     mozilla-devscripts suite						    INSTALL-XPI(1)

NAME

       install-xpi - installs a xpi file into a Debian package

SYNOPSIS

       install-xpi [options] xpi-file

DESCRIPTION

       install-xpi  is	a  helper  tool  for  packaging  XUL extensions. It installs the given xpi file into the correct directory and creates the
       required links based on the data in the install.rdf file.  It corrects the file permissions unless --preserve-permissions is specified.

       install-xpi will create a configuration file in /etc if the XUL extension provides one or more preferences files  in  defaults/preferences.
       The  configuration  file contains only a description where to find the overridable preferences.	debian/package.js is used as configuration
       file instead if it exists. The placeholder @INSTALLDIR@ is replaces by the actual installation directory. You can disable the creation of a
       system configuration file with --disable-system-prefs.

OPTIONS

       --disable-system-prefs
	      Do not create a system preference file in /etc.

       -x file, --exclude=file
	      The specified file from the xpi file will not be installed. You can use this parameter several times.

       -h, --help
	      Display a brief help message.

       -i directory, --install-dir=directory
	      The xpi file will be installed in the specified directory.  directory must be an absolute path. Use this parameter with care.

       -l directory, --link=directory
	      An  additional  link  from  the directory to the installation directory of the extension will be created. You can use this parameter
	      several times.

       -p package, --package=package
	      The xpi file will be installed in the specified binary package. If this parameter is not provided, the first binary  package  listed
	      in debian/control will be used.

       --preserve-permissions
	      The  permissions	of the files in the xpi file will not be modified. If this parameter is not provided, install-xpi will try to cor-
	      rect the permissions of the files to 644 (files that starts with a shebang will be corrected to 755).

       -r, --remove-license-files
	      Files with names like copying, licence, or license will not be installed.

       -v, --verbose
	      Print more information.

WRAP-AND-SORT(1)					      General Commands Manual						  WRAP-AND-SORT(1)

NAME

       wrap-and-sort - wrap long lines and sort items in Debian packaging files

SYNOPSIS

       wrap-and-sort [options]

DESCRIPTION

       wrap-and-sort  wraps the package lists in Debian control files. By default the lists will only split into multiple lines if the entries are
       longer than 80 characters. wrap-and-sort sorts the package lists in Debian control files and all .install files. Beside that  wrap-and-sort
       removes trailing spaces in these files.

       This  script should be run in the root of a Debian package tree. It searches for control, control.in, copyright, copyright.in, install, and
       *.install in the debian directory.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Show this help message and exit.

       -a, --wrap-always
	      Wrap all package lists in the Debian control file even if the entries are shorter than 80 characters and could fit in one line line.

       -s, --short-indent
	      Only indent wrapped lines by one space (default is in-line with the field name).

       -b, --sort-binary-packages
	      Sort binary package paragraphs by name.

       -k, --keep-first
	      When sorting binary package paragraphs, leave the first one at the top.  Unqualified debhelper(7) configuration files are applied to
	      the first package.

       -n, --no-cleanup
	      Do not remove trailing whitespaces.

       -d path, --debian-directory=path
	      Location of the debian directory (default: ./debian).

       -f file, --file=file
	      Wrap  and sort only the specified file.  You can specify this parameter multiple times.  All supported files will be processed if no
	      files are specified.

       -v, --verbose
	      Print all files that are touched.
