NAME

       dh_phppear - calculates PHP PEAR substvars

SYNOPSIS

       dh_phppear [debhelper options] [options]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_phppear is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating the ${phppear:*} substitutions and
       adding them to substvars files.

       The program will look at package.xml (or package2.xml) in the package, and will use this information to
       generate:

       • ${phppear:summary}, ${phppear:description} and ${phppear:channel}

       • ${phppear:Debian-Depends},       ${phppear:Debian-Recommends},      ${phppear:Debian-Suggests}      and
         ${phppear:Debian-Breaks}

       Deprecated: the <pear-channels> package should be  used  (and  updated)  instead  of  introducing  a  new
       standalone channel package.

       The program will look at channel.xml in the package, and will use this information to generate:

       • ${phppear:channel-name}, ${phppear:channel-summary} and ${phppear:channel-alias}

       • ${phppear:channel-common-description}

       Those  variables  will be substituted into the package's control file wherever the token ${phppear:*} are
       placed.

OPTIONS

       --sourcedirectory=directory
           Assume that the original package source tree is at the specified directory rather than the top  level
           directory of the Debian source package tree.

           This feature requires pkg-php-tools (>= 1.14~).

FILES

       debian/pkg-php-tools-overrides
           Package  that  don't want to follow automatic PEAR package name to Debian package name conversion can
           override the conversion by creating this file.

           It can be installed in /usr/share/pkg-php-tools/overrides/package.

           This feature requires pkg-php-tools (>= 1~).

           The format is a set of lines, with each line having the following fields:

           channel_url
                 The channel URL as found in package.xml (example: pear.phpunit.de).

           pear_package_name
                 The PEAR package name (example: phpunit).

           debian_package_name
                 The resulting Debian package name (example: phpunit).

                 Use builtin if the package is compiled from the php source package.

                 Use none if the PEAR package can't be simply translated to Debian name.

           version_override
                 Optional, for composer packages only, can be none if the version constraint from  the  original
                 package  should  not  be used for the replacement. Useful when a package is being replaced by a
                 PHP extension that doesn't follow the same versioning scheme.

ADVANCED USAGE

   Building a PECL package
       A PECL package is a PEAR package which is compiled. Extra steps are needed:

       • Adding php-dev, pkg-php-tools (>= 1.6~) and dh-php to Build-Depends.

       • Adding ${shlibs:Depends} and ${misc:Depends} to Depends.

       • Adding --with php to dh line in debian/rules.

   Patching
       dh_phppear will remove md5sums and sha1sums to ease patching. You can patch as usual.

   Removing some files from the upstream tarball
       If some files are removed from the upstream tarball, the package  will  be  incomplete  unless  they  are
       stripped   from  the  package.xml  file  in  the  PEAR  package  subdir.  This  can  be  done  after  the
       dh_auto_configure step. Example:

         override_dh_auto_configure:
               dh_auto_configure -O--buildsystem=phppear
               # Remove references of JsMin
               sed -i '/JsMin\.php/d' */package.xml

       This feature requires pkg-php-tools (>= 1.1~).

   Building a channel package (DEPRECATED)
       Deprecated: the pear-channels package  should  be  used  (and  updated)  instead  of  introducing  a  new
       standalone channel package.

       Simply  put  the  channel.xml file downloaded from the PEAR channel in the root of the package source and
       use a debian/rules similar to a PEAR package.

       This feature requires pkg-php-tools (>= 1.3~).
