NAME

       dh-make-drupal - Builds a Debian package for the requested Drupal project

DESCRIPTION

       The  purpose  of this program is to generate Debian packages for any Drupal projects (that
       is, modules, themes or translations) - Please note  note  that  as  of  October  2010  the
       infrastructure  for  publishing  translations  has  changed, so its current support status
       through this program is suboptimal

       Given  that  Drupal  developers  publish  their  work  through  the   main   Drupal   site
       (http://drupal.org),  this  program  fetches  the  information  for  the  latest available
       versions (for the right Drupal release, and  with  the  specified  stability  level),  and
       prepares a Debian package from it.

       This  Debian  package  can  be  locally  installed  using  'dpkg', or uploaded to your Apt
       repository.

       Keep in mind that this package only goes as far as it can, being an  automated  tool.  The
       generated  packages  will  probably  require  verification/tweaking  to  be  of production
       quality.

       This program has been inspired -and named in  a  similar  fashion  to-  Debian's  pkg-perl
       group's dh-make-perl.

       -v, --version

       -h, --help
              Display this screen

       -d, --drupal-version VERSION
              Drupal version

       -r, --report-only
              Check  only  for  project availability, don't download or perform any other actions
              locally. Implies -D.

       -f, --force
              Proceed even if this will overwrite currently existing files

       --debug LEVEL
              Debug level for generated messages (0=highest, 5=lowest)

       -s, --min-status STATUS
              Minimum  status  to  consider  for  packaging.  Accepted   values:   'recommended',
              'supported', 'developer'. Defaults to recommended.

       -D, --dont-debianize
              Do not attempt to debianize the project, only download the tarball

       -b, --no-build
              Prepare  the  debianized directory, but omit the actual package build process. This
              option is incompatible with either -D and -r.

       -R, --no-recommends
              Omits the generation of the  Recommends:  line,  which  is  built  by  scanning  of
              submodule-provided .info files and may be misleading or introducing too much noise

       --build-switches SWITCHES
              Switches  to  pass  to   dpkg-buildpackage.  Defaults to "-us -uc" (do not sign the
              generated package). In order not to give any  switches,  specify  an  empty  quoted
              string (i.e. --build-switches='').

       -t, --tarball FILE
              Use  the specified tarball as the original project tar.gz, don't look for any other
              available versions and don't download from the Drupal website.  This  will  require
              you also to provide a project version number with -V and the project type with -T

       -T, --proj-type TYPE
              Type  of project we are packaging. This option is only meaningful when working on a
              local tarball (-t), and will be ignored otherwise. Accepted values: %s. Defaults to
              ["Modules", "Themes", "Translations"].

       -V, --proj_version VERSION
              Provide  a project version number. This option is only meaningful when working on a
              local tarball (-t), and will be ignored otherwise

       -m, --mangle-version PATTERN
              Debian versioning logic includes the ??~?? character meaning ??anything below?? the
              preceding  version  number.  This  is  most  useful  when  dealing with pre-release
              qualificators (in order, 1.x-dev,  1.0-alpha1,  1.0-beta,  1.0rc3).  dh-make-drupal
              will  try  to  recognize  such  patterns  and mangle them so they sort correctly in
              Debian (and so that when a stable version is released it appears as  higher  -  For
              the  above  mentioned  version  numbers,  they  would result in 1~~dev, 1.0~alpha1,
              1.0~beta, 1.0~rc3). You can use this switch to tell  dh-make-drupal  to  omit  this
              mangling.

       -P, --provides SUBMODULES
              generate  the  Provides:  line,  which  is  built  from  specified  comma-separated
              submodules. They will all be converted to what would amount to their Debian package
              name  --  i.e.  "-P  foo,bar"  becomes "Provides: drupal7-mod-foo, drupal7-mod-bar"
              (when building a Drupal7 module).
