PROGRAM:
NAME
python-mkdebian - Generate a suitable Debian source package for a standard distutils
application
SYNOPSIS
python-mkdebian [options]
DESCRIPTION
This script generates a reasonably Debian Policy compliant Debian source package for a
Python application that uses distutils properly. It assumes that there are no public
Python modules, and generates just a single application binary package.
Information is taken from setup.py's generated .egg-info file: author, project name,
description, version, upstream source, license, and required and provided Python modules
(which are translated to Debian python library package names, and automatically added as
package dependencies).
It generates a simple cdbs/python-support rules file.
python-mkdebian was designed to be used with the DistUtilsExtra.auto module, which
calculates required Python dependencies automatically. However, it makes no explicit
assumptions about DistUtilsExtra, so if setup.py has complete information it will work
with any distutils setup.
OPTIONS
--force-control=FORCE_CONTROL
Force control file behaviour. Can be one of "none" (keep unchanged), "deps" (only
update dependencies), or "full" (recreate whole file). By default only dependencies
will be updated ("deps").
--force-copyright
Force whole copyright file to be recreated. By default it will not touch an already
existing copyright file, so that you can customize them.
--force-rules
Force whole rules file to be recreated. By default it will not touch an already
existing rules file, so that you can customize them.
--changelog=CHANGELOG
Add changelog entry to debian/changelog (can be specified multiple times)
--dependency=PACKAGENAME
Add additional debian package dependency (can be specified multiple times)
--prefix=PREFIX
Ask for installing all your modules in the dedicated PREFIX (default is /usr)

Show program's version number and exit
-h, --help
