DH-MAKE-GOSA(1)

💖 DH-MAKE-GOSA 💖

okay bestie, so this is dh-make-gosa from the Debian manual pages, section 1 — and yes, it's giving "I'm gonna take your messy gosa plugin source and make it a real Debian package" energy. Obsessed. Let's get into it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

dh-make-gosa — Debianizes the source of a given gosa plugin 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

dh-make-gosa [OPTION]...  SOURCE

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 💅 — dh-make-gosa takes a directory or a tar ball of an already-existing gosa plugin and, like, adds debian info to it. that's the whole vibe. it just... makes it debian-y. 🫶

and then? feel free to use dpkg-buildpackage to generate your own gosa-plugin package from source or svn, and enable it in the gosa.conf(5) file to activate it. that's it. that's the glow-up. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -r debian-release, --release debian-release — sets the Debian release to debian-release when it's generating the Debian tree. default? the unstable release. living dangerously, we love that for you. 🔥
• --dest destination-directory — this is the place where dh-make-gosa will put its working data while generating the source directory. defaults to the current directory (so, like, right here, right now 📍).
• --section debian-section — sets the Debian section to debian-section when generating the Debian tree. defaults to the web section, no cap.
• --depends package,package,... — adds extra dependencies to the Debian tree that didn't get listed in the plugin.dsc file. heads up: this is a comma separated list of Debian package names. commas, bestie, not spaces. 😭
• -e mail, --email mail — overrides the Debian packager that's defined inside the plugin.dsc file with the one you specify in mail. main character energy: you get to decide who's on the packaging credits. 💖

🌈 EXAMPLE USAGE 🌈

here's a whole little journey, fr fr:

# Check out a plugin from SVN
svn co https://oss.gonicus.de/repositories/gosa/trunk/gosa-plugins/samba /tmp/samba

# Debianize the tree
cd /tmp
dh-make-gosa --email cajus@debian.org --release etch --section web samba

# Build debian package
cd samba
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot

and if you wanna build everything from the subversion repository that's GOsa related? 👀 please take a look at the contributed make-gosa-package script. it's out there doing the most so you don't have to. 🧚
