NAME¶

pkgos-debpypi - create a template Debian package out of a PyPi package name.

SYNOPSIS¶

pkgos-debpypi [-u URL] <package_name>

DESCRIPTION¶

pkgos-debpypi creates a template Debian package out of a PyPi package name. Once this script has run, make sure it did what you expected, then use the newly created source package as a template. Make sure you correct the debian/copyright file before publishing any package.

The license is detected from the LICENSE or COPYING files of the package, falling back to the PyPI metadata. At the end, the ITP text is saved as itp.txt, and a new terminal window is opened running reportbug against wnpp with the ITP pre-filled, so that it only needs to be reviewed and sent. If there is no X display, the ITP text is displayed instead.

OPTIONS¶

-u upload package from target URL

ENVIRONMENT¶

PKGOS_TERMINAL

Force the use of the specified terminal program when opening the reportbug window.

PKGOS_DEBPIPY_NO_REPORTBUG

If set, never open a new terminal window for reportbug.

BUGS¶

No known bugs.
