NAME

dh-make-ruby - build Debian source package from Ruby library

USAGE

dh-make-ruby [OPTIONS] [TARBALL|DIRECTORY]

DESCRIPTION

dh-make-ruby will create a basic Debian source package from a tarball named TARBALL generated with gem2tgz, or from a DIRECTORY containing Ruby code and metadata in a .gemspec file. If no argument is specified, dh-make-ruby will build a Debian source package from the current directory.

OPTIONS

-p PACKAGE, --package PACKAGE

Uses PACKAGE as package name. By default, new packages will be named as ruby-$gem, where $gem is the upstream name. If the package is mainly used as a library, then it should use the default. On the other hand, if the packages is mainly used as an application, then you should drop the ruby- prefix by using this option an explicit package u.

-w, --overwrite

Overwrites packaging files that already exists but would be created by dh-make-ruby if they didn't. Exception: debian/copyright is never touched.

-h, --help

Displays the help

-v, --version

Displays version information and exits.

--no-wnpp-check

Prevents dh-make-ruby to check wnpp reports to get the number of a possible ITP (intend to package) bug report. By default, dh-make-ruby does check these reports, which requires an Internet access.

--no-dependencies

Skips the dependency detection based on Rubygems and APT metadata. You should usually not do this, unless you know what you are doing.

-o, --offline

Prevents dh-make-ruby from accessing the internet at all.
