DEBDRY(1)

✨ NAME ✨

debdry — merge manually and automatically generated debian/ packaging.

okay so real talk, bestie, you just opened the DEBDRY(1) page (user commands section, no big deal 💅) and it is exactly about that one job: smushing your hand-written debian/ packaging together with the auto-generated stuff. that's it. that's the whole main character arc. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

here's the usage line, copy it, screenshot it, tattoo it on your arm:

debdry [-h] [--version] [-v] [--debug] [-r] [--dry] [dir]

Merge manually and automatically generated debian/ packaging.

like... that's the entire personality. it takes what you wrote by hand and what got generated for you and it merges them. iconic. 🌈

🌸 positional arguments:

• dir — package source directory, default: . (so if you don't say anything, it just assumes you mean the current directory you're standing in, nbd 🫶)

💜 optional arguments:

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit
• --version — show program's version number and exit
• -v, --verbose — Verbose output (it will yap. affectionately. 💬)
• --debug — Debug output
• -r, --restore — Undebianise, leaving only debdry files in debian/
• --dry — Take an existing package and add a minimal debian/debdry/

heads up bestie: -r / --restore literally Undebianises things and leaves only the debdry files in debian/. know what you're doing before you send it. 💀

and that's the page!! every flag, every path, every default, all accounted for, no notes. 🧚

cute little sign-off from the manual itself: this is debdry version 0.1, dated October 2016, and it's the DEBDRY(1) user-commands page. slay. 💖✨
