NAME

       dh_pypy - calculates PyPy dependencies, adds maintainer scripts to byte compile files, etc.

SYNOPSIS

          dh_pypy -p PACKAGE [-V [X.Y][-][A.B]] DIR [-X REGEXPR]

DESCRIPTION

   QUICK GUIDE FOR MAINTAINERS
          • build-depend on pypy and dh-python,

          • add ${pypy:Depends} to Depends

          • build module/application using its standard build system,

          • install files to the standard locations,

          • add pypy to dh's --with option, or:

          • call dh_pypy in the binary-* target,

   NOTES
   dependencies
       dh_pypy tries to translate Python dependencies from the requires.txt file to Debian dependencies. In many
       cases, this works without any additional configuration because dh_pypy comes with a build-in  mapping  of
       Python  module  names  to  Debian  packages  that is periodically regenerated from the Debian archive. By
       default, the version information in the Python dependencies is discarded. If you want dh_pypy to generate
       more  strict  dependencies  (e.g.  to  avoid  ABI  problems),  or  if the automatic mapping does not work
       correctly for your package, you have to provide dh_pypy with additional  rules  for  the  translation  of
       Python module to Debian package dependencies.

       For  a  package  pypy-foo  that  depends on a package pypy-bar, there are two files that may provide such
       rules:

       1. If the pypy-foo source package ships with a debian/pypy-overrides file, this file is used  by  dh_pypy
          during the build of pypy-foo.

       2. If  the pypy-bar source package ships with a debian/pypy-bar.pydist file (and uses dh_pypy), this file
          will be included in the binary package as /usr/share/dh-python/dist/pypy/pypy-bar. During the build of
          pypy-foo, dh_pypy will then find and use the file.

       Both  files  have the same format described in /usr/share/doc/dh-python/README.PyDist. If all you want is
       to generate versioned dependencies (and assuming that the pypy-bar  package  provides  the  pybar  Python
       module),  in  most  cases it will be sufficient to put the line pybar pypy-bar; PEP386 into either of the
       above files.

   namespace feature
       dh_pypy parses Egg's namespace_packages.txt files (in addition to --namespace command  line  argument(s))
       and  drops  empty __init__.py files from binary package. pypycompile will regenerate them at install time
       and pypyclean will remove them at uninstall time (if they're no longer used in installed packages).  It's
       still  a  good idea to provide __init__.py file in one of binary packages (even if all other packages use
       this feature).

   private dirs
       /usr/share/foo, /usr/share/games/foo, /usr/lib/foo and /usr/lib/games/foo private directories are scanned
       for  Python  files  by  default (where foo is binary package name). If your package ships Python files in
       some other directory, add another dh_pypy call in debian/rules with directory name as an argument  -  you
       can use different set of options in this call. If you need to change options for a private directory that
       is checked by default, invoke dh_pypy with --skip-private option and add another call with a path to this
       directory and new options.

   debug packages
       In  binary  packages  which name ends with -dbg, all files in /usr/lib/pypy/dist-packages/ directory that
       have extensions different than so or h are removed by default. Use --no-dbg-cleaning  option  to  disable
       this feature.

   overriding supported / default PyPy versions
       If  you  want  to  override  system's list of supported PyPy versions or the default one (f.e. to build a
       package that includes symlinks for older version of PyPy or compile .py files only for given  interpreter
       version), you can do that via DEBPYPY_SUPPORTED and/or DEBPYPY_DEFAULT env. variables.
