cvs-debuild is a wrapper around cvs-buildpackage to run it
with debuild as the package-building program. (This cannot
simply be accomplished using the -C option of
cvs-buildpackage, as it does not know how to handle all of the
special debuild options.)
The program simply stashes the debuild, lintian and
linda options, and passes them to debuild when it is
called by cvs-buildpackage. All of the standard debuild
options may be used (as listed below), but note that the root command
specified by any --rootcmd or -r command-line option
will be passed as an option to cvs-buildpackage. The first
non-debuild option detected will signal the start of the
cvs-buildpackage options.
The selection of the root command is slightly subtle: if there are any
command-line options, these will be used. If not, then if
cvs-buildpackage is set up to use a default root command, that
will be used. Finally, if neither of these are the case, then
debuild will use its procedures to determine an appropriate
command, as described in its documentation.
See the manpages for debuild(1) and cvs-buildpackage for
more information about the behaviour of each.
OPTIONS
The following are the debuild options recognised by
cvs-debuild. All cvs-buildpackage, lintian and
linda options are simply passed to the appropriate program. For
explanations of the meanings of these variables, see
debuild(1).
--no-conf, --noconf
--rootcmd=gain-root-command, -rgain-root-command
--preserve-env
--preserve-envvar=var, -evar
--set-envvar=var=value, -evar=value
--lintian, --no-lintian
--linda, --no-linda
--ignore-dirname, --check-dirname
These should not be needed, but it is provided nevertheless.
