The process is made of several steps. .PP First, \fBgem2deb\fR converts the gem file to a tar.gz archive containing a metadata.yml file with the Gem specification. This is equivalent to what \&\fBgem2tgz\fR does. .PP Then, \fBgem2deb\fR unpacks the tar.gz archive and prepares a Debian source package, guess many of the defaults from the files included in the archive, or the Gem specification. This is equivalent to what \fBdh-make-ruby\fR does. \&\fBgem2deb\fR cannot determine all parameters for obvious reasons. It is recommended to search for the \*(L"\s-1FIXME\*(R"\s0 string in the \fIdebian/\fR directory. The generated Debian source package uses \fBdh_ruby\fR to build the package. .PP Finally, \fBgem2deb\fR tries to build the source and binary packages using \&\fBdpkg-buildpackage\fR. .SH "OPTIONS" .IX Header "OPTIONS" .IP "\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-only\-tarball\fR" 4 .IX Item "-t, --only-tarball" Stop after creating the tar.gz archive. .IP "\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-only\-source\-dir\fR" 4 .IX Item "-s, --only-source-dir" Stop after preparing the Debian source package directory (do not attempt to build the package). .IP "\fB\-S\fR, \fB\-\-only\-debian\-source\fR" 4 .IX Item "-S, --only-debian-source" Only build a Debian source package (do not build binary packages). .IP "\fB\-p \s-1PACKAGE\s0\fR, \fB\-\-package \s-1PACKAGE\s0\fR" 4 .IX Item "-p PACKAGE, --package PACKAGE" Specify package name (default: ruby\-*).
