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.

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.

       --ruby-versions VERSIONS
           Ruby versions to build the package for. This is used to generate the X-Ruby-Versions: field in the
           source package, that can later be used to tune this value.  By default, gem2deb generates a package
           that works on all known Ruby versions, but it might be necessary to only build the package for Ruby
           1.9.1, for example (using --ruby-versions "ruby1.9.1").

       -h, --help
           Displays the help

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