DESCRIPTION

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

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

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

       dh-make-pecl will by default create a directory named php-<pecl-package-name>-<pecl-package-version>
       which will contain the debian files and the unpacked files from the extension. It will also create a
       symlink php-<pecl-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. This will (for version 0.2.x) create php4-<pecl-package-name> and php5-<pecl-package-name>
       binary packages. Since version 0.3.x only the binary package for php5 will be build anymore.

       dh-make-pecl tries to extract as much information about the package from the file package.xml which is
       part of the pecl extension. Though, there is some information like depends on other debian packages,
       which must be given by options, e.g.  --depends or --build-depends.

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

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes
       (`-'). A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the Info files.

       -h --help
           Show summary of options.

       -v --version
           Show version of program.

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

       --depends
           Adds more packages to Depends: beside php4|php5.

       --build-depends
           Adds more packages to Build-Depends: beside php4-dev, php5-dev, debhelper and dh-make-php.

       --prefix
           Sets prefix of debian source package name. Each name ends in '<pecl-package-name>'. Defaults to
           'php'.

       --maintainer
           Explicitly sets the maintainer. In most cases it will be propperly guessed by reading some of the
           environment variables.

       --package-name
           Overwrite package name in package.xml. This name will be prefixed with `php-'. Do not use this
           function unless you know what you are doing.

       --templatedir
           Use a different directory with templates for the debian files. Defaults to
           /usr/share/dh-make-php/pecl.template.

       --only
           This option is deprecated. Use --phpversion.

           Set this to 4 or 5 in order to produce a debian package which creates a binary package for php4 or
           php5 only, but not for both. This is mostly useful if a pecl package does not compile for all php
           version.

       --phpversion
           Set this to 4, 5 or both separated by a space in order to produce a debian package which creates a
           binary package for the given php major versions. This is mostly useful if you want to create a pecl
           package for php4, which is not created by default anymore since dh-make-pecl 0.3.0.

       --dont-use-confd
           Some time between Sarge and Etch, the debian php packages has moved its configuration into its own
           ini file in /etc/php[45]/conf.d and no longer modify the global configuration in
           /etc/php[45]/<sapi>/php.ini. Since Version 0.2.1 of dh-make-php this is the default behaviour when
           creating packages. If you prefer the old way of creating php pecl packages use this option.

       --php55-conf
           PHP 5.5 has introduced a new configuration schema for pecl extensions. This is used by default, if
           /etc/php5/mods-available is found on the system wher dh-make-pecl runs. This option is provided to
           explicity turn on PHP 5.5 configuration even if the default is off.

       --no-php55-conf
           This option is provided to explicity turn off PHP 5.5 configuration even if the default is on.
