NAME¶
Debian::Debhelper::Dh_components - Data for Debian components handling
VERSION¶
This document describes Debian::Debhelper::Dh_components version 0.3
SYNOPSIS¶
use Debian::Debhelper::Dh_components;
my $components = Debian::Debhelper::Dh_components->new;
DESCRIPTION¶
Back-end for "dh_components" command. The module has three tasks:
- merging of documents (not implemented);
- merging of "substvar" merging (not implemented);
- cascading implementation of component build process (not
implemented).
INTERFACE¶
new¶
This is a constructor which takes a number of named arguments.
- "dir"
- This is the path to a components directory. Typically this will just be
"debian/components". This argument is mandatory.
- "package"
- This is the package name and is mandatory.
- "build_stages"
- If this argument, an array reference, is given it will override the normal
sequence of build stages.
- "component"
- If this parameter, an array reference, is set only those components listed
will be considered.
- "rules_locations"
- If this parameter, an array reference, is given it will override the
normal location of build stage scripts.
build_stages¶
This returns the build stages in the order in which they should occur: copy,
patch, config, build, test, install.
directory¶
This returns the directory name that was passed to the constructor.
package¶
This returns the package name that was passed to the constructor.
components¶
This returns an array listing the components found in that component directory.
script¶
This method takes two arguments, the component and the build stage, and returns
the script that needs to be run.
build_copyright¶
If this method finds a file "copyright.in" in the components
directory, it merges in any component copyright files in the component
directories and writes the result to the specified location.
substvars¶
This method returns the appropriate "substvar" variables parsed from
"control" files in each component sub-directory as a hash reference.
CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT¶
Debian::Debhelper::Dh_components requires no configuration files or environment
variables.
DEPENDENCIES¶
None.
