Description
dh_octave_make is a helper script for generating a first version of a Debian package for an Octave-Forge
package. The command should be launched from the top directory of the unpacked sources of an Octave-Forge
package. A file called DESCRIPTION must be present, from which information about the package is
gathered. The following files are generated with sensible contents, although they need further editing:
debian/changelog
debian/control
debian/copyright
debian/rules
debian/source/format
debian/upstream/metadata
debian/watch
deabin/gbp.conf
The files above are only created if they do not exist yet. This allows the use of dh_octave_make for
updating an already debianized source tree.

dh_octave_make is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but withoutanywarranty; without even
the implied warranty of merchantability or fitnessforaparticularpurpose.
Environment Variables

which will appear in debian/changelog and debian/copyright. If they do not exist, FULLNAME and EMAIL are
used instead.
