dh-make-elpa(1)


NAME

   dh-make-elpa - helper for creating Debian packages from ELPA packages

SYNOPSIS

   dh-make-elpa [--pkg-emacsen] [make]

DESCRIPTION

   dh-make-elpa will try to create the files required to build a Debian
   source package from an unpacked GNU Emacs ELPA package.

   dh-make-elpa is an experimental script that performs a lot of
   guesswork.  You should throughly verify the contents of the debian/
   directory before uploading

   TYPICAL USAGE
       % git clone -o upstream https://foo.org/foo.git

       % cd foo

       % git reset --hard 1.0.0    # package latest stable release

       % dh-make-elpa --pkg-emacsen

       % git add debian && git commit -m "initial Debianisation"

       % gbp buildpackage -us -uc         # generates an orig tarball

   COMMANDS
   make
       Default command if no command is given. Creates debianisation from
       scratch.  Fails with an error if debian/ directory already exists.

   OPTIONS
   --pkg-emacsen
       Sets "Maintainer", "Uploaders", "Vcs-Git" and "Vcs-Browser" fields
       in debian/control according to the Team's conventions.

       This option is useful when preparing a package for the Debian Emacs
       Addon Packaging Team <https://pkg-emacsen.alioth.debian.org>.

   --version
       Specify the ELPA package version.  Useful when upstream failed to
       include either a Package-Version: header or a -pkg.el file.

   TIPS
   Upstream remote
       The remote for upstream's git repository should be called
       'upstream'.  You can use:

           % git clone -o upstream https://foo/bar

   oriented structure, comes from dh-make-perl(1), written and maintained
