NAME

       DhMakePerl::Command::Packaging - common routines for 'make' and 'refresh' dh-make-perl commands

METHODS

       main_file(file_name)
           Constructs a file name relative to the main source directory, "main_dir"

       debian_file(file_name)
           Constructs a file name relative to the debian/ sub-directory of the main source directory.

       explained_dependency $reason, $dependencies, @dependencies
           Adds the list of dependencies to $dependencies and shows $reason if in verbose mode.

           Used to both bump a dependency and tell the user why.

           $dependencies is an instance of Debian::Dependencies class, and @dependencies is a list of
           Debian::Dependency instances or strings.

           The message printed looks like "$reason needs @dependencies".

       configure_cpan
           Configure CPAN module. It is safe to call this method more than once, it will do nothing if CPAN is
           already configured.

       discover_dependencies
           Just a wrapper around $self->control->discover_dependencies which provides the right parameters to
           it.

           Returns a list of missing modules.

       discover_utility_deps
           Determines whether certain versions of debhelper(1) and other packages are needed by the build
           process.

           The following special cases are detected:

           Module::Build::Tiny
               if Module::Build::Tiny is present in the build-dependencies, debhelper dependency is raised to
               9.20140227~.

           dh --with=quilt
               "dh --with=quilt" needs quilt.

           quilt.make
               If /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make is included in debian/rules, a build-dependency on "quilt" is
               added.

           Module::Build
               The proper build-dependency in this case is

                   perl

               The on perl without a version is set as Lenny has already 5.10 which includes first
               Module::Build.

       makefile_pl_is_MBC
           Checks if Makefile.PL is a compatibility wrapper around Build.PL provided by Module::Build::Compat.

       backup_file(file_name)
           Creates a backup copy of the specified file by adding ".bak" to its name. If the backup already
           exists, it is overwritten.

           Does nothing unless the "backups" option is set.

       unquote(string)
           Runs its argument through Text::Balanced's "extract_quotelike" method and returns the extracted
           content with quotes removed. Dies if "extract_quotelike" can't find quoted string.

       create_upstream_metadata
           Populates debian/upstream/metadata with information from META.
