Severity: wishlist

Hey Uwe,

I just realized that it would be very helpful if you based your
dh-make-php packages off of CDBS. First of all, it could simplify the
debian/rules files.

Second, and potentially most useful, you could actually move most of
your current debian/rules files into CDBS scripts. For example, you
could create a /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/pearpackage.mk that automatically
did everything! A nice advantage of this would be that you could make
improvements that would help all of us, rather than the current
situation where we all have to modify our rules files whenever something
needs to be fixed.

As a point of reference, here is my new debian/rules using CDBS. You
could initially use this for your template, but eventually most of it
could be integrated into a common pearpackage.mk.

    #!/usr/bin/make -f

    include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk

    PEAR_PKG=Pager
    DEBIAN_PKG=php-pager
    PEAR=/usr/bin/pear
    PEAR_PHP_DIR=/usr/share/php
    SOURCE_DIR=`ls -d $(PEAR_PKG)-*`

    common-configure-indep::
        ln -f -s ../package.xml $(SOURCE_DIR)
        xsltproc --nonet --novalid debian/changelog.xsl package.xml > 
debian/Changelog

    clean::
        rm -f debian/pearrc debian/Changelog $(SOURCE_DIR)/package.xml

    common-install-indep::
        $(PEAR) install --nodeps -R debian/$(DEBIAN_PKG) 
$(SOURCE_DIR)/package.xml

        # remove unwanted files
        rm -f debian/pearrc \
              debian/$(DEBIAN_PKG)$(PEAR_PHP_DIR)/.lock \
              debian/$(DEBIAN_PKG)$(PEAR_PHP_DIR)/.filemap

cheers,
Charles
