debaux-build - Debian package building script
debaux-build [OPTIONS] DEBDIR [BUILDDIR SOURCEDIR]
debaux-build --cpan Net::Google
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.
- "--apt"
- Forces apt-get source mode.
- "--archive"
- Specifies file name of source archive.
- "--build-options"
- Options passed to
"dpkg-buildpackage".
- "--chroot=DIRECTORY"
- Build package in a chroot environment.
- "--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.
- "--env=NAME=VALUE"
- Sets environment variable(s) for builds in chroot environments.
Example for using gcc-snapshot in a chroot containing Debian
unstable (sid):
"--env='PATH=/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/bin:$PATH'
--env='LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/gcc-snapshot/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH'"
- "--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".
"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.
