Notes
There's a Git repo with some example outputs
only template means that the tool provides a file that is not customized per-package
- npm2deb only generates the Debian files from metadata, but does not create a proper source package. The upstream source is not downloaded.
Build-depends and Depends generation
dh-make-perl uses local packages and apt-file to identify packages (broken with 0.84-2 and multiarch)
- gem2deb only converts gem names to Debian package names
stdeb also uses apt-file with a fallback on module name conversion (code)
DEP-11 could end up being the proper way to generate language-specific dependencies
TODO: npm, cabal-debian ?
Copyright file generation
TODO. 'cme update dpkg-copyright' is another approach.
Usage
- Download upstream package from repository
Perl: not supported? (cpan -g Oxford::Calendar does nothing here...)
npm, Python: not supported?
Ruby: gem fetch GEMNAME
Haskell: cabal get PKGNAME
- Debianize (without building source)
Perl: dh-make-perl [make] {SOURCE_DIR | --cpan MODULE|DIST}
Python: not supported?
Ruby: gem2deb --only-source-dir GEMNAME|GEMFILE
npm: npm2deb create PKGNAME
Haskell: not supported, need unpacked source
- Debianize an unpacked upstream source
Perl: dh-make-perl [make] .
Python: python3 setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command debianize
Ruby: dh-make-ruby .
npm: not supported
Haskell: cabal-debian
- Debianize and build source package
Perl: dh-make-perl [make] {SOURCE_DIR | --cpan MODULE|DIST} --build-source or cpan2dsc MODULE
Python: py2dsc DISTFILE
Ruby: gem2deb --only-debian-source GEMNAME|GEMFILE
npm, Haskell: not supported
- Debianize and build binary packages
Perl: dh-make-perl [make] {SOURCE_DIR | --cpan MODULE|DIST} --build or cpan2deb MODULE
Python: py2dsc-deb DISTFILE
Ruby: gem2deb GEMNAME|GEMFILE
npm, Haskell: not supported
- Debianize, build, install
Perl: dh-make-perl [make] {SOURCE_DIR | --cpan MODULE|DIST} --install
Python, Ruby: not supported
npm, Haskell: not supported
- Refresh an already created package, moving old files to .bak:
All: cme migrate dpkg or cme fix dpkg
Perl: dh-make-perl refresh
Python, Ruby: not supported
npm: not supported
Haskell: cabal-debian
Other languages without an automated generator
- PHP (PEAR packages) -- see pkg-php-tools for packaging tools
- Java -- see javahelper for packaging tools
- Ocaml -- see dh-ocaml for packaging tools
