✨ debianize ✨

okay bestie, so debianize is a thing in the lintian-brush family and it literally makes a Debian directory for a package 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

debianize — generate a Debian directory for a package 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

debianize

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so this command is experimental, okay? just so we're clear. it goes and gathers info about a package and then generates skeleton Debian control files for it ✨ it fills in the fields where it can find a reasonable value, and leaves the other fields unset. it's giving "i'll do what i can, no promises on the rest" 🫶

and most of the heavy lifting? not even debianize doing it. that's all the scripts that power lintian-brush(1) doing the work 💪 iykyk

🧚 optional arguments 🧚

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. classic. iconic. we love her 👑
• --no-update-changelog — whether to update the changelog. (that's the whole vibe of the flag — it controls whether the changelog gets updated.)
• --version — show program's version number and exit. quick lil peek at who she is 🎀
• --verbose — print list of fixers that was run, and print tracebacks for failed fixers. lowkey the best one for when you're like "wait what just happened 😭" — now you get the receipts 🔍
