dh-dist-zilla - debhelper add-on to run dzil (Dist::Zilla) during build
The dh-dist-zilla package provides a sequence addon for debhelper 7 and above which can be used in the following two ways:
In "debian/rules" since debhelper 7:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
export DH_VERBOSE=1
%:
dh $@ --with dist-zilla
Since debhelper 11.4 alternatively also just in "debian/control":
Build-Depends: dh-sequence-dist-zilla
Both variants will call "dzil build" prior to "dh_auto_configure", "dzil clean" before "dh_clean" and will add the option "-D build-directory" to "dh_auto_configure", "dh_auto_build", "dh_auto_install", and "dh_auto_test".
A `debian/rules` file as mentioned above also provides a `get-orig-source` target to generate a source tar ball which contains the minimal necessary contents (compared to the contents of tar-ball for CPAN which would require some additional, generated meta data files):
make -f debian/rules get-orig-source
Or if your `debian/rules` file is executable, you can also just call it like this:
debian/rules get-orig-source
If you want to type even less, there's also a `origtar` alias (named after the `origtargz` script from the `devscripts` package) for this target:
debian/rules origtar
debhelper(7), dh(1), dzil(1), dh_dzil_build(1), dh_dzil_clean(1), dh_dist_zilla_origtar(1)
