A good introduction/HOWTO by Marc Dequenes and Arnaud Patard: https://perso.duckcorp.org/duck/cdbs-doc/cdbs-doc.xhtml To elaborate some more on my ruby-setup class (which is still in development, I am still learning :) ). It is usable for packages that use setup.rb/install.rb as their install setup. The CDBS class reduces the debian/rules a lot, an example: ---- #!/usr/bin/make -f include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk include /home/paul/tmp/cdbs/ruby-setup.mk # Multiple packages, install to debian/tmp, get it from there. DEB_DH_INSTALL_SOURCEDIR = debian/tmp # Generate documentation. DEB_RUBY_RDOC_HTML_PROCESS = AUTHORS README bin lib DEB_RUBY_RDOC_RI_PROCESS = lib --- This will look in debian/control, build the packages for you. Note that everything debhelper does is parameterized and still can be modified/overriden. You still use debian/<package>.docs, debian/<package>.install, etc. Future features: - detect whether documentation must be generated, - install generated documentation (still required to do that via debhelper), - automatically build -ruby1.8, -ruby1.9 packages and a rewrite to CDBS 2.
