SYNOPSIS

dh-make-elpa [--pkg-emacsen] [make]

DESCRIPTION

dh-make-elpa will try to create the files required to build a Debian source package from an unpacked GNU Emacs ELPA package.

dh-make-elpa is an experimental script that performs a lot of guesswork. You should throughly verify the contents of the debian/ directory before uploading

COMMANDS

make

Default command if no command is given. Creates debianisation from scratch. Fails with an error if debian/ directory already exists.

OPTIONS

--pkg-emacsen

Sets "Maintainer", "Uploaders", "Vcs-Git" and "Vcs-Browser" fields in debian/control according to the Team's conventions.

This option is useful when preparing a package for the Debian Emacs Addon Packaging Team <https://pkg-emacsen.alioth.debian.org>.

TIPS

Upstream remote

The remote for upstream's git repository should be called 'upstream'. You can use:

git clone -o upstream https://foo/bar
