dpt-fixup(1)

💅 dpt-fixup — the manual page, but make it cute

okay so bestie, welcome to dpt-fixup(1) — yeah that's the whole name, it lives in section 1 of the manual, and it's about to become your new fave.

---

✨ NAME ✨

dpt-fixup — it applies some automatic fixes to your packaging, no cap 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dpt fixup

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one command. slay.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so dpt fixup does some automatic cleanups and fixups for your packaging, okay? with a focus on — but not limited to — Debian Perl Group packages 🫶

and honestly? it's basically a wrapper around cme(1) and other tools. that's the tea. it's not doing magic, it's just orchestrating the magic that other icons already do ✨

---

💖 CONFIGURATION 💖

okay listen, this part matters, don't scroll past it 🙈

some of the changes done by the tools that dpt fixup calls need human double-checking. like, a real person has to look at them. a whole human. that's you, bestie.

those particular fixes are only run if the DPT_FIXUP_DOUBLECHECK environment variable is set. no variable, no doublecheck-fixes. periodt.

so if you do set that variable, please please please actually double-check the changes made in the steps denoted by '(!)' in the output 👀 those little '(!)' marks are not decoration, they're your cue to slow down and look.

lowkey this is the main character moment of the whole page: set the variable, and you have accepted the responsibility of checking the '(!)' steps yourself 💅

and hey, if you want the details — dpt-config(5). go read it. it's right there 🍓
