erlang-depends(1)


NAME

   erlang-depends - calculates Erlang dependencies

SYNOPSIS

   erlang-depends [debhelper options]

DESCRIPTION

   erlang-depends is a debhelper-like program that is responsible for
   generating the substitution variables for Erlang-dependent packages.

   The most useful variable is ${erlang:Depends}. It expands into the list
   of Erlang packages which modules are used in the building package. It
   was introduced in version 1:13.b.1-dfsg-3 of erlang-dev package.

   Also, ${erlang-abi:Depends} substitution adds current erlang ABI
   virtual package to substvar files. It is useful if your package uses C-
   based extensions which may break in case of ABI changes. It was
   introduced in version 1:11.b.4-4 of erlang-dev package.

   If you want to fine tune your package dependencies then you may want to
   use substvars for all Erlang packages you need. Currently they are:
   ${erlang-base:Depends}, ${erlang-dev:Depends}, ${erlang-asn1:Depends},
   ${erlang-common-test:Depends}, ${erlang-corba:Depends},
   ${erlang-crypto:Depends}, ${erlang-debugger:Depends},
   ${erlang-dialyzer:Depends}, ${erlang-edoc:Depends},
   ${erlang-eldap:Depends}, ${erlang-et:Depends}, ${erlang-eunit:Depends},
   ${erlang-gs:Depends}, ${erlang-ic:Depends}, ${erlang-inets:Depends},
   ${erlang-megaco:Depends}, ${erlang-mnesia:Depends},
   ${erlang-observer:Depends}, ${erlang-odbc:Depends}, ${erlang-os-
   mon:Depends}, ${erlang-parsetools:Depends}, ${erlang-percept:Depends},
   ${erlang-public-key:Depends}, ${erlang-reltool:Depends},
   ${erlang-runtime-tools:Depends}, ${erlang-snmp:Depends},
   ${erlang-ssh:Depends}, ${erlang-ssl:Depends}, ${erlang-syntax-
   tools:Depends}, ${erlang-tools:Depends}, ${erlang-typer:Depends},
   ${erlang-wx:Depends}, ${erlang-xmerl:Depends}.

   All variables except ${erlang-eldap:Depends}, ${erlang-base:Depends}
   and ${erlang-dev:Depends} were introduced in version 1:13.b-dfsg-2 of
   erlang-dev package.

   Variable ${erlang-eldap:Depends} was added in version 1:15.b.1-dfsg-1
   of erlang-dev package because the new eldap application was included to
   the Erlang distribution.

   Variable ${erlang-docbuilder:Depends} was dropped in version
   1:15.b-dfsg-1 of erlang-dev package because the docbuilder application
   was removed from the Erlang distribution.

   Variable ${erlang-inviso:Depends} was dropped in version
   1:16.b.1-dfsg-4 of erlang-dev package because the inviso application
   was removed from the Erlang distribution.

   Variable ${erlang-appmon:Depends} was dropped in version 1:17.0-dfsg-3
   of erlang-dev package because the appmon application was removed from
   the Erlang distribution.

   Variables ${erlang-pman:Depends}, ${erlang-toolbar:Depends},
   ${erlang-tv:Depends} were dropped in version 1:17.3-dfsg-2 of
   erlang-dev package because the pman, toolbar and tv applications were
   removed from the Erlang distribution.

   Variable ${erlang-webtool:Depends} was dropped in version
   1:19.0.4+dfsg-1 of erlang-dev package because the webtool application
   was removed from the Erlang distribution.

   Variable ${erlang-test-server:Depends} was dropped in version
   1:19.0.5+dfsg-2 of erlang-dev package because the test_server
   application was removed from the Erlang distribution.

   For compatibility with older versions the variables
   ${erlang-nox:Depends} and ${erlang-x11:Depends} also work (even since
   the corresponding packages turned into dummy packages).

   If you use this program, your package must build-depend on erlang-dev
   (>= 1:13.b-dfsg-2). If you want your package to use automatic
   calculation of dependencies then it must build-depend on erlang-dev (>=
   1:13.b.1-dfsg-3).

OPTIONS

   -v, --verbose
       Verbose mode.

   -a, --arch
       Act on all architecture dependent packages.

   -i, --indep
       Act on all architecture independent packages.

   -ppackage, --package=package
       Act on the package named "package". This option may be specified
       multiple times.

   -Npackage, --no-package=package
       Do not act on the specified package even if an -a, -i, or -p option
       lists the package as one that should be acted on.

   --ignore=file
       Ignore the specified file.

   -Ptmpdir, --tmpdir=tmpdir
       Use "tmpdir" for package build directory. The default is
       debian/<package>
