DH_PYPPD(1)

💅 NAME 💅

dh_pyppd — the lil debhelper bestie that squishes your CUPS PPDs down with pyppd 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dh_pyppd [--archive-filename=archvname] [debhelper options]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so dh_pyppd is a debhelper program, and here's the tea: it takes all the PPDs chillin' under /usr/share and compresses them using pyppd. iconic behavior honestly 💖

then it removes them from the binary package (yes bestie, gone, bye 👋) and adds all the Depends that are needed to the package's ${misc:Depends}. it's giving "I did the homework AND the extra credit" 📚✨

---

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• --archive-filename=archvname — use archvname as the pyppd archive filename instead of just letting it be derived from the binary package name. and how does it derive it normally, you ask? by dropping the printer-driver- prefix off the package name. slay 💅

ngl bestie, you usually do NOT need this one. it's the "only if you know why you're here" option 🙈
