PKG-PHP-TOOLS(1)                            Debhelper                            PKG-PHP-TOOLS(1)



NAME
       pkg-php-tools - debhelper tool suite for PHP PEAR packages and channels

SYNOPSIS
       dh $@ --buildsystem=phppear --with phppear

DESCRIPTION
       For a quick start, read /usr/share/doc/pkg-php-tools/README.PEAR.

       dh_phppear(1) is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating the ${phppear:*}
       substitutions and adding them to substvars files. See the corresponding manpage.

       dh_phpcomposer is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating the
       ${phpcomposer:*} substitutions and adding them to substvars files. See the corresponding
       manpage.

       Debian::Debhelper::Buildsystem::phppear is an additionnal build system targeted at PHP
       PEAR packages (with a package.xml or package2.xml file) and PHP PEAR channels (with a
       channel.xml file). See below.

ADVANCED USAGE
   Building a PECL package
       A PECL package is a PEAR package which is compiled. Extra steps are needed:

       · Adding php5-dev, pkg-php-tools (>= 1.6~) and dh-php5 to Build-Depends.

       · Adding ${shlibs:Depends} and ${php:Depends} to Depends.

       · Adding "--with php5" to dh line in debian/rules.

   Building a channel package
       Simply put the channel.xml file downloaded from the PEAR channel in the root of the
       package source and use a debian/rules similar to a PEAR package.

       This feature requires pkg-php-tools (>= 1.3~)

   Overriding a PEAR Debian package name
       See "FILES" in dh_phppear(1).

   Patching
       pkg-php-tools will remove md5sums and sha1sums to ease patching. You can patch as usual.

   Removing some files from the upstream tarball
       If you have removed some files from the upstream tarball, you will end with an incomplete
       package unless you strip them from the package.xml file in the PEAR package subdir. You
       can do this after the dh_auto_configure step. Example:

         override_dh_auto_configure:
               dh_auto_configure -O--buildsystem=phppear
               # Remove references of JsMin
               sed -i '/JsMin\.php/d' */package.xml

       This feature requires pkg-php-tools (>= 1.1~)

CONFORMS TO
       Debian policy, version 3.9.4

       PHP PEAR policy, version yet-to-be-written
