This is the README file for CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb, a CPANPLUS extension
for perl package to debian package conversion.
Please refer to 'perldoc CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb' after installation for
details.

* Description
CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb
CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb is a CPANPLUS plugin that allows you to
create debian packages from CPAN packages. This is as easy as
passing an extra option to the installation process or setting
a config option.
#####################################################################
* Installation
CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb follows the standard perl module install process
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
The module uses no C or XS parts, so no c-compiler is required, but
it does have dependencies on external programs, which currently
require you to install the following packages:
debhelper
dpkg
dpkg-dev
fakeroot
gcc
libc6-dev
To use the (optional) automatic creation of Sources.gz and
Packages.gz files, to use your locally created .debs as an
apt repository you need the following packages:
apt-utils
This module is probably most easily installed using the cpan2deb
mirror found at 'debian.pkgs.cpan.org'. Add the following line to your
apt sources.list to use it:
# debian.cpan
deb
http://debian.pkgs.cpan.org/debian unstable main
