✨ GEN-RUBY-TRANS-PKGS ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to gen-ruby-trans-pkgs(1) — that's the manual page name right there, section 1, we're in the big leagues 💅

💖 NAME 💖

gen-ruby-trans-pkgs — literally just generates ruby transitional packages. that's the whole gig. no cap. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gen-ruby-trans-pkgs SOURCE_PKG_TO_REPLACE

one argument, one job, main character energy fr fr 👑

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the vibe: gen-ruby-trans-pkgs reads three things —

  • debian/control
  • debian/changelog
  • and the output of apt-cache showsrc SOURCE_PKG_TO_REPLACE 👀

and then it generates debian/control snippets for you, so you can add transitional packages. it's giving "I did the boring part so you don't have to" 💅✨

ngl it doesn't write the file for you, it just spits out the snippet. you do the pasting, bestie. 🫶
