       dh-make-pear - Create debian source packages from pear modules

SYNOPSIS

       dh-make-pear [--help ] [--version ] [--rename ] [--arch any | all] [--state STATE]
                    [--depends DEPENDS] [--maintainer MAINTAINER] [--prefix PREFIX]
                    [--templatedir TEMPLATEDIR] [PACKAGE]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the dh-make-pear command.

       dh-make-pear creates the files required to build a debian source package from a PHP
       extension as it is distributed through PEAR.

       The last parameter passed to dh-make-pear can be either the .tgz archive containing the
       php extension or the name of the extension. In the second case dh-make-pear will first
       download the archive from http://pear.php.net. If dh-make-pear downloads the archive
       itself, it will always take the most recent version.

       dh-make-pear will by default create a directory named php-<pear-package-name> which will
       contain the debian files and the unpacked files from the extension. It will also create a
       symlink php-<pear-package-name>_<version>.orig.tar.gz pointing towards the original
       source. After creating the files you can go into then new directory and build the debian
       package with dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot.

       dh-make-pear tries to extract as much information about the package from the file
       package.xml which is part of the pear extension.

       Debian source packages created by dh-make-pear can later easily be updated with uscan.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with

           Show summary of options.

       -v --version
           Show version of program.

       --rename
           Do not link orig.tar.gz but move the source into .orig.tar.gz.

       --arch
           Set architecture of created debian source package to 'any' or 'all'. Defaults to
           'all'.
