DH_NOD...BSTVARS(1p)

💅 DH_NOD...BSTVARS — the 1p girlies know

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for dh_nodejs_substvars, a little Debian Perl situation living in section 1p of the User Contributed Perl Documentation. she's short, she's precise, she's giving build-tool main character energy, and honestly? obsessed. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

dh_nodejs_substvars — automatically calculates ${package::Version} substitution variable

like. she does the math so you don't have to. no cap. 🧮💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the move is: use the result in debian/control, bestie. it looks like this, and yes you copy it exactly:

Source: node-jest
Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13)
 , dh-sequence-nodejs (>= 0.14.5~)

Package: jest
Provides: ${jest:Provides}

Package: node-jest-debbundle
Provides: ${nodeJestDebbundle:Version}

see those ${...} guys? that's her whole thing. she fills them in. slay. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, and it's genuinely good tea:

dh-sequence-nodejs automatically adds dh_nodejs_substvars after the dh_install step — but only when the source package provides several binary packages. like, she's not gonna insert herself into a situation that doesn't need her. boundaries. 👑

this tool dispatches "${nodejs:Provides}" values into the good package, by looking at the real content. not the vibes of the content. the real content. fr fr. 🔍✨
