Dependencies for DBD drivers
============================
This information is only relevant for maintainers of Debian packages providing
DBD drivers.
Packages using the binary DBD<>DBI interface need to depend on the
perl-dbdabi-* virtual package provided by libdbi-perl. To generate this
dependency please do one of the following:
debhelper using dh:
Use the "perl_dbi" addon and ensure ${perl:Depends} is used in debian/control.
This requires a build-dependency on libdbi-perl (>= 1.612).
The debian/rules file might look as follows:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@ --with perl_dbi
old-style debhelper:
Run dh_perl_dbi after dh_perl and ensure ${perl:Depends} is used in
debian/control. This requires a build dependency on libdbi-perl (>= 1.612).
packages not using debhelper:
Include /usr/share/libdbi-perl/perl-dbdabi.make in debian rules and use
PERL_DBDABI_DEPENDS. This requires a build-dependency on
libdbi-perl (>= 1.610.90+is+1.609).
See http://bugs.debian.org/577209 for a discussion why this dependency is
required.
