dh_xul-ext (1)

dh_xul-ext [options]

dh_xul-ext is a helper tool for packaging XUL extensions. It calculates the supported XUL applications for the packages that contain an install.rdf file. It will set the substitution variables xpi:Depends, xpi:Recommends, xpi:Breaks, xpi:Enhances, and xpi:Provides. Unknown options will be ignored.

-h, --help

Display a brief help message.

-a, --all

Expand substvars to all known XUL applications. If this parameter is not provided, substvars will only be expanded to the XUL applications that are available on your distribution. Use this parameter if you want to create a package that can be installed on all Debian-based systems without recompiling.

-p package, --package=package

Calcalate the substvars only for the specified package. If this parameter is not provided, all package listed in the control file will be processed.

-v, --verbose

Print more information.

DH_XUL_EXT_VENDOR

The vendor (for example, Debian or Ubuntu) that should be used for calculating the dependencies. dpkg-vendor(1) will be used for determining the vendor if this environment variable is not set. Setting the variable to all will have the same effect than calling dh_xul-ext with --all.
