DH-DIST-ZILLA(7)                          dh-dist-zilla                          DH-DIST-ZILLA(7)

NAME
       dh-dist-zilla - debhelper add-on to run dzil (Dist::Zilla) during build

DESCRIPTION
       The dh-dist-zilla package provides a sequence addon for debhelper 7 which can be used in
       the following way:

           #!/usr/bin/make -f
           export DH_VERBOSE=1
           %:
               dh $@ --with dist-zilla

       This will call "dzil build" prior to "dh_auto_configure", "dzil clean" before "dh_clean"
       and will add the option "-D build-directory" to "dh_auto_configure", "dh_auto_build",
       "dh_auto_install", and "dh_auto_test".

   How to generate the .orig.tar.xz "upstream" tar-ball
       A `debian/rules` file as mentioned above also provides a `get-orig-source` target to
       generate a source tar ball which contains the minimal necessary contents (compared to the
       contents of tar-ball for CPAN which would require some additional, generated meta data
       files):

           make -f debian/rules get-orig-source

       Or if your `debian/rules` file is executable, you can also just call it like this:

           debian/rules get-orig-source

       If you want to type even less, there's also a `origtar` alias (named after the `origtargz`
       script from the `devscripts` package) for this target:

           debian/rules origtar
