--- name: "DhMakePerl::Command::Packaging" section: "3pm" platform: "linux" package: "dh-make-perl" version: "0.128" release: "Debian 13 (Trixie)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/DhMakePerl::Command::Packaging" --- # DhMakePerl::Command::Packaging(3pm) common routines for 'make' and 'refresh' dh-make-perl commands ## NAME DhMakePerl::Command::Packaging - common routines for 'make' and 'refresh' dh-make-perl commands ## METHODS - main\_file(file\_name) Constructs a file name relative to the main source directory, "main\_dir" - debian\_file(file\_name) Constructs a file name relative to the debian/ sub-directory of the main source directory. - explained\_dependency *$reason*, *$dependencies*, *@dependencies* Adds the list of dependencies to *$dependencies* and shows *$reason* if in verbose mode. Used to both bump a dependency and tell the user why. *$dependencies* is an instance of Debian::Dependencies class, and *@dependencies* is a list of Debian::Dependency instances or strings. The message printed looks like `"$reason needs @dependencies"`. - configure\_cpan Configure CPAN module. It is safe to call this method more than once, it will do nothing if CPAN is already configured. - discover\_dependencies Just a wrapper around `$self`-\>control-\>discover\_dependencies which provides the right parameters to it. Returns a list of missing modules. - discover\_utility\_deps Determines whether certain versions of [**debhelper**(1)](/debhelper/1.md) and other packages are needed by the build process. The following special cases are detected: - Module::Build::Tiny if Module::Build::Tiny is present in the build-dependencies, debhelper dependency is raised to 9.20140227~ in case it was lower before. - dh --with=quilt `"dh --with=quilt"` needs quilt. - quilt.make If */usr/share/quilt/quilt.make* is included in *debian/rules*, a build-dependency on `"quilt"` is added. - dh --with=perl\_dbi A build dependency on `"libdbi-perl"` is added. - dh --with=perl\_openssl A build dependency on `"perl-openssl-defaults"` is added. - makefile\_pl\_is\_MBC Checks if *Makefile.PL* is a compatibility wrapper around Build.PL provided by Module::Build::Compat. - backup\_file(file\_name) Creates a backup copy of the specified file by adding `".bak"` to its name. If the backup already exists, it is overwritten. Does nothing unless the `"backups"` option is set. - unquote(*string*) Runs its argument through Text::Balanced's `"extract_quotelike"` method and returns the extracted content with quotes removed. Dies if `"extract_quotelike"` can't find quoted string. - create\_upstream\_metadata Populates *debian/upstream/metadata* with information from *META*, using Debian::Upstream::Metadata::Perl. - cme\_fix\_dpkg\_control The equivalent of letting **cme**(1) reformat and fix *debian/control*. ## COPYRIGHT & LICENSE - Copyright (C) 2000, 2001 Paolo Molaro \ - Copyright (C) 2002, 2003, 2008 Ivan Kohler \ - Copyright (C) 2003, 2004 Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt \ - Copyright (C) 2005-2007 Gunnar Wolf \ - Copyright (C) 2006 Frank Lichtenheld \ - Copyright (C) 2007-2025, gregor herrmann \ - Copyright (C) 2007-2013 Damyan Ivanov \ - Copyright (C) 2008, Roberto C.
