dh-make-perl indeed for Perl CPAN packages. dh-make for base packages... Olivier 2013/4/5 Thomas Koch tho...@koch.ro Hi, debian-java has the tool mh_make that generates debian packages from maven projects. There's some java code in there that produces debian/* files: rules, copyright, watch, control, orig-tar.sh, doc-base.api, doc.install and of course source/format and compat. This java code should be replaces with something in perl/python/non-JVM. Is there already some logic/templates in Debian that I could build on?

Re: Generators for debian/* files?
Hi, Quoting Wookey (2013-04-05 12:17:42) Because it's an entirely unnecessary circular build-dependency. java is not part of build-essential and this doesn't seem like a good reason for making it so. mh_make is part of the package maven-debian-helper (Thomas: I cant find the package debian-java you were talking about) but according to the bootstrap tools, maven-debian-helper is not part of any dependency cycle. I would be glad if you can prove me wrong because then you found yet another bug in my code. :) A java helper which is part of many dependency cycles, is the package javahelper which is part of the main SCC. It seems that 233 source packages relevant for the bootstrap process build depend on javahelper (out of a total of 290 source packages build depending on it). cheers, josch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Wookeys response (circular build-dependency) is not the reason here. We have two packages, maven-repo-helper with minimal dependency set which is a build dependency for many java packages and maven-debian-helper with a longer dependency list which is only used to create the files in debian/*. mh_make does not have automatic testing yet and is much work to test manually. This is mostly caused by the unnecessary dependency on maven to do something as trivial as filling templates for the debian/* files with appropriate values.
