Package: dh-make
Version: 0.40
Severity: wishlist
There doesn't seem to be a manualpage*.ex file that could be filled in
for programs that do not include one. Please consider including one, where
the easiest to work with it the Perl POD format that can be converted
to apropriate page easily.
1) include these in the template in the default 'rules' file:
PACKAGE = package
MANSECT = 1
MANPOD = debian/$(PACKAGE).$(MANSECT).pod
MANPAGE = debian/$(PACKAGE).$(MANSECT)
...
install-manpod:
pod2man --center="Debian" \
--name="User program" \
--section=$(MANSECT) \
$(MANPOD) \
| sed 's,perl v[0-9.]+,$(PACKAGE),' \
> $(MANPAGE)
## -- Uncomment as needed --
## Then use: dh_installman debian/$(MANPAGE)
#install: install-manpod
install: build
...
2) Include this text as debian/manpage.section.pod.ex
# This is manual page in Perl POD format. Read more at
# http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html or run command:
#
# perldoc perlpod | less
#
# To check the syntax:
#
# podchecker *.pod
#
# Create manual page with command:
#
# pod2man PAGE.N.pod > PAGE.N
