# Debian::Package::Make::TemplateDir(3pm)

Perl extension for autobuilding Debian packages

## NAME

Debian::Package::Make::TemplateDir - Perl extension for autobuilding Debian packages

## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

## ATTRIBUTES

- "template\_dir"

  The directory from which `"prepare_files"` will fetch the templates. If `"template_dir"` is not set explicitly, it is derived from the program name and the name of the class.

## PUBLIC INTERFACE

- "new"

  - "template\_dir"

    Calls `"Debian::Package::Make::new()"` and sets the `"template_dir"` attribute.

- "prepare\_files"

  `"prepare_files"` populates `"$self-"`{files}\> using files from a template directory (`"template_dir"` parameter).

  Files within this directory that end with *.in* are treated as templates that are processed using *process\_template*.

  Note: In order for `"dpkg-buildpackage"` to function correctly, *debian/control*, *debian/changelog*, *debian/rules* must be provided by the template dir.

## BUGS

- \* This module lacks documentation. For the time being, please refer to the scripts in the *examples* directory.
