NAME

DhMakePerl::Command::Packaging - common routines for 'make' and 'refresh' dh-make-perl commands

METHODS

main_file(file_name)

Constructs a file name relative to the main source directory, "main_dir"

debian_file(file_name)

Constructs a file name relative to the debian/ sub-directory of the main source directory.

explained_dependency $reason, $dependencies, @dependencies

Adds the list of dependencies to $dependencies and shows $reason if in verbose mode.

Used to both bump a dependency and tell the user why.

$dependencies is an instance of Debian::Dependencies class, and @dependencies is a list of Debian::Dependency instances or strings.

The message printed looks like $reason needs @dependencies.

configure_cpan

Configure CPAN module. It is safe to call this method more than once, it will do nothing if CPAN is already configured.

discover_dependencies

Just a wrapper around $self->control->discover_dependencies which provides the right parameters to it.

Returns a list of missing modules.

discover_utility_deps

Determines whether certain versions of debhelper(1) and other packages are needed by the build process.

The following special cases are detected:

Module::Build::Tiny

if Module::Build::Tiny is present in the build-dependencies, debhelper dependency is raised to 9.20140227~.

dh --with=quilt

dh --with=quilt needs quilt.

quilt.make

If /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make is included in debian/rules, a build-dependency on quilt is added.

Module::Build

The proper build-dependency in this case is

    perl

The on perl without a version is set as Lenny has already 5.10 which includes first Module::Build.

makefile_pl_is_MBC

Checks if Makefile.PL is a compatibility wrapper around Build.PL provided by Module::Build::Compat.

backup_file(file_name)

Creates a backup copy of the specified file by adding .bak to its name. If the backup already exists, it is overwritten.

Does nothing unless the backups option is set.

unquote(string)

Runs its argument through Text::Balanced's extract_quotelike method and returns the extracted content with quotes removed. Dies if extract_quotelike can't find quoted string.

create_upstream_metadata

Populates debian/upstream/metadata with information from META.
