DH_MAKE_PGXS(1)

✨ DH_MAKE_PGXS ✨

okay bestie, so this is the DH_MAKE_PGXS(1) page from the Debian PostgreSQL infrastructure manual, and it's literally about to make your whole extension-packaging situation cute 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

dh_make_pgxs — bestie, this thing spawns a brand-new Debian source package for a PGXS PostgreSQL extension. no cap, that's the whole job 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dh_make_pgxs [-f] [-h URL] [-n name] [-v version]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: dh_make_pgxs creates a debian/ directory tree for PostgreSQL extension packages that use the PGXS build system. the way it does the actual building? it lowkey hands that off to the pg_buildext tool. iconic behaviour, honestly 🔥

---

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• -f — overwrite existing files. it's giving "yes i know i'm being destructive, do it anyway" 💀
• -h URL — the package's upstream homepage. drop the link here so everybody knows where it came from 🌈
• -n name — the package name you wanna use. default vibe? it just yanks it from the name of the current directory you're sitting in 📁✨
• -v version — the package version you wanna use. and same deal as above — if you don't say anything, it steals it from the current directory's name 🎯
