набор инструментов debhelper (the debhelper tool suite)
Описание (Description)
Debhelper is used to help you build a Debian package. The
philosophy behind debhelper is to provide a collection of small,
simple, and easily understood tools that are used in debian/rules
to automate various common aspects of building a package. This
means less work for you, the packager. It also, to some degree
means that these tools can be changed if Debian policy changes,
and packages that use them will require only a rebuild to comply
with the new policy.
A typical debian/rules file that uses debhelper will call several
debhelper commands in sequence, or use dh(1) to automate this
process. Examples of rules files that use debhelper are in
/usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/
To create a new Debian package using debhelper, you can just copy
one of the sample rules files and edit it by hand. Or you can try
the dh-make package, which contains a dh_make command that
partially automates the process. For a more gentle introduction,
the maint-guide Debian package contains a tutorial about making
your first package using debhelper.
Except where the tool explicitly denotes otherwise, all of the
debhelper tools assume that they run from the root directory of
an unpacked source package. This is so they can locate find
files like debian/control when needed.
