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

       -p PACKAGE, --package PACKAGE
           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.

       -w, --overwrite
           Overwrites packaging files that already exists but would be created by dh-make-ruby if
           they didn't. Exception: debian/copyright is never touched.

       -h, --help
           Displays the help

       -v, --version
           Displays version information and exits.

       --no-wnpp-check
           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.

       --no-dependencies
           Skips the dependency detection based on Rubygems and APT metadata. You should usually
           not do this, unless you know what you are doing.

       -o, --offline
           Prevents dh-make-ruby from accessing the internet at all.
