NAME

       dh_octave_make - generate a Debian package from the sources of an Octave-Forge package

SYNOPSIS

       dh_octave_make

DESCRIPTION

       dh_octave_make is a helper script for generating a first version of a Debian package for
       an Octave-Forge package. The command should be launched from the top directory of the
       unpacked sources of an Octave-Forge package.  A file called DESCRIPTION must be present,
       from which information about the package is gathered.  The following files are generated
       with sensible contents, although they need further editing:

       debian/changelog
       debian/control
       debian/copyright
       debian/rules
       debian/source/format
       debian/upstream/metadata
       debian/watch
       deabin/gbp.conf

       The files above are only created if they do not exist yet.  This allows the use of
       dh_octave_make for updating an already debianized source tree.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The environment variables DEBFULLNAME and DEBEMAIL are used for generating the identity of
       the developer, which will appear in debian/changelog and debian/copyright. If they do not
       exist, FULLNAME and EMAIL are used instead.

DISCLAIMER

       dh_octave_make is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but without any
       warranty; without even the implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular
       purpose.
