NAME

dh-make-drupal - Builds a Debian package for the requested Drupal project

DESCRIPTION

NAME
dh-make-drupal - Builds a Debian package for the requested Drupal project
SYNOPSIS

dh-make-drupal [options] project_name
DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this program is to generate Debian packages for any Drupal projects (that is, modules, themes or translations). Given that Drupal developers publish their work through the main Drupal site (http://drupal.org), this program fetches the information for the latest available versions (for the right Drupal release, and with the specified stability level), and prepares a Debian package from it. This Debian package can be locally installed using 'dpkg', or uploaded to your Apt repository. Keep in mind that this package only goes as far as it can, being an automated tool. The generated packages will probably require verification/tweaking to be of production quality. This program has been inspired -and named in a similar fashion to- Debian's pkg-perl group's dh-make-perl.
OPTIONS
-d,--drupal-version version

Drupal version
-r,--report-only

Check only for project availability, don't download or perform any other actions locally. Implies -D.
-f,--force

Proceed even if this will overwrite currently existing files
--debug level

Debug level for generated messages (0=highest, 5=lowest)
-s,--min-status

Minimum status to consider for packaging. Accepted values: 'recommended', 'supported', 'developer'. Defaults to recommended.
-D,--dont-debianize

Do not attempt to debianize the project, only download the tarball
-b,--no-build

Prepare the debianized directory, but omit the actual package build process. This option is incompatible with either -D and -r.
--build-switches

Switches to pass to dpkg-buildpackage. Defaults to "-us -uc" (do not sign the generated package). In order not to give any switches, specify an empty quoted string (i.e. --build-switches='').
-t,--tarball tarball

Use the specified tarball as the original project tar.gz, don't look for any other available versions and don't download from the Drupal website. This will require you also to provide a project version number with -V and the project type with -T
-T,--proj-type projtype

Type of project we are packaging. This option is only meaningful when working on a local tarball (-t), and will be ignored otherwise. Accepted values: %s. Defaults to ModulesThemesTranslations.
-V,--proj-version version

Provide a project version number. This option is only meaningful when working on a local tarball (-t), and will be ignored otherwise
-m,--mangle-version

Debian versioning logic includes the ~ character meaning anything below the preceding version number. This is most useful when dealing with pre-release qualificators (in order, 1.x-dev, 1.0-alpha1, 1.0-beta, 1.0rc3). dh-make-drupal will try to recognize such patterns and mangle them so they sort correctly in Debian (and so that when a stable version is released it appears as higher - For the above mentioned version numbers, they would result in 1~~dev, 1.0~alpha1, 1.0~beta, 1.0~rc3). You can use this switch to tell dh-make-drupal to omit this mangling.
-v,--version

Displays application version.
-h,--help

Displays help page.
