NAME¶
debaux-build - Debian package building script
SYNOPSIS¶
debaux-build [OPTIONS] DEBDIR [BUILDDIR SOURCEDIR]
debaux-build --cpan Net::Google
VERSION¶
0.1.10
DESCRIPTION¶
debaux-build is a helper script for building Debian packages. Besides options it
takes up to three parameters: DEBDIR, BUILDDIR, SOURCEDIR. DEBDIR is a
required parameter.
If DEBDIR doesn't exist, debaux-build tries to download the package with apt-get
source.
debaux-build applies all patches found in the DEBDIR subdirectory patches.
If no source tarball exist and the DEBDIR subdirectory sources exist, all files
in this directory get packed and used as source tarball.
OPTIONS¶
- "--apt"
- Forces apt-get source mode.
- "--archive"
- Specifies file name of source archive.
- "--build-options"
- Options passed to "dpkg-buildpackage".
- "--cpan"
- Download Perl module from CPAN and create necessary Debian
packaging files. You need to have the dh-make Debian package installed in
order to utilize this option.
- "--empty"
- Empty package (no source code archive). Intended to use for
task packages.
- "--epoch"
- Specifies epoch for CPAN builds.
- "--extra-sources"
- Specifies a directory below DEBDIR which is copied to the
build directory.
- "-i, --install, --install=PACKAGE"
- Install build package.
- "-l, --lintian"
- Run lintian on the source file and the generated
packages.
- "--make-archive"
- Intended to use for native Debian packages. Specify the
commands to build the archive here.
- "--release"
- The generated packages are targeted for official Debian
packages.
- "--rpm, --alien"
- Convert generated packages into RPM packages by using
"alien".
- "-s, --sign"
- Sign source package and changelog.
- "--skip-patches"
- Don't apply patches from the patches directory and
sources.diff file.
- "--source-tree"
- Instructs "debaux-build" to use the specified
directory instead of an archive file.
- "--stop-before-build"
- Stop script before calling
"dpkg-buildpackage".
CONFIGURATION FILE¶
"debaux-build" looks for the configuration file ".debauxrc"
in the home directory and in the current directory and recognizes the
following directives:
- "debauxdir" PACKAGE
- Used as "DEBDIR" for package if it is an existing
directory. Considered before the <debiandir> directive.
- "debiandir"
- If the directory "DEBDIR" on the commandline
doesn't exist, "debaux-build" appends "DEBDIR" to the
specified directory and tries again.
- "sourcedir"
- Directory with the source archives. Can be overridden by
the commandline parameter "SOURCEDIR".
- "source-tree" PACKAGE
- Directory with the source code for PACKAGE.
