DH-MAKE-RUBY(1) DH-MAKE-RUBY(1)

NAME

dh-make-ruby - build Debian source package from Ruby library

USAGE

dh-make-ruby [OPTIONS] [TARBALL|DIRECTORY]

DESCRIPTION

dh-make-ruby will create a basic Debian source package from a tarball named TARBALL generated with gem2tgz, or from a DIRECTORY containing Ruby code and metadata in a .gemspec file. If no argument is specified, dh-make-ruby will build a Debian source package from the current directory.

OPTIONS

Uses PACKAGE as package name. By default, new packages will be named as ruby-$gem, where $gem is the upstream name. If the package is mainly used as a library, then it should use the default. On the other hand, if the packages is mainly used as an application, then you should drop the ruby- prefix by using this option an explicit package u.
Overwrites packaging files that already exists but would be created by dh-make-ruby if they didn't. Exception: debian/copyright is never touched.
Displays the help
Displays version information and exits.
Prevents dh-make-ruby to check wnpp reports to get the number of a possible ITP (intend to package) bug report. By default, dh-make-ruby does check these reports, which requires an Internet access.
Skips the dependency detection based on Rubygems and APT metadata. You should usually not do this, unless you know what you are doing.
Prevents dh-make-ruby from accessing the internet at all.
