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.
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.
