DH_GERMINATE_METAPACKAGE(1) Debhelper DH_GERMINATE_METAPACKAGE(1)
NAME
dh_germinate_metapackage - create metapackages based on seeds
SYNOPSIS
dh_germinate_metapackage [debhelper options]
DESCRIPTION
dh_germinate_metapackage is a debhelper program that generates ${germinate:Depends} substitutions and adds them to substvars files.
The program will read the "metapackage-map" file that should have been created by a previous run of "germinate-update-metapackage" for your
package, and for each seed listed there it will generate dependencies and recommendations based on the previous results of
"germinate-update-metapackage". Dependencies will be substituted into your package's control file wherever you place the token
"${germinate:Depends}", and similarly recommendations will be substituted wherever you place the token "${germinate:Recommends}".
You must run "germinate-update-metapackage" before building the source package. Normally, source packages that use this program will
include an "update" script that will call it with appropriate arguments.
EXAMPLES
dh_germinate_metapackage is usually called indirectly in a rules file via the dh command.
%:
dh --with germinate $@
You must build-depend on at least debhelper (>= 7.0.8) to use this form, and in any case you must build-depend on at least germinate (>=
1.18) to use this program at all.
It can also be called directly at any time before "dh_installdeb".
