Usage: svn-buildpackage [ OPTIONS... ] [ OPTIONS for dpkg-buildpackage ] Builds Debian package within the SVN repository. The source code repository must be in the format created by svn-inject, and this script must be executed from the work directory (trunk/package). Building and working directory management: --svn-builder CMD Use CMD as build command instead of dpkg-buildpackage --svn-ignore-new Don't stop on svn conflicts or new/changed files --svn-dont-clean Don't run debian/rules clean (default: clean first) --svn-savecfg Create a .svn/deb-layout file from the detected/imported layout information. (replicates old behaviour) Source copying behavior: --svn-no-links Don't use file links (default: use links where possible) --svn-dont-purge Don't wipe the build directory (default: purge after build) --svn-reuse Reuse an existing build directory, copy trunk over it --svn-rm-prev-dir Remove an existing build directory instead of making a copy; if --svn-reuse is specified, this option is reset --svn-export Just prepares the build directory and exits Tagging and post-tagging: --svn-tag Final build: Export && build && tag && dch -i --svn-retag Replace an existing tag directory if found while tagging --svn-only-tag Tags the current trunk directory without building --svn-noautodch Don't add a new Debian changelog entry when done Post-build processing: --svn-lintian Run lintian after the build --svn-move Move package files to .. after successful build --svn-move-to XYZ Move package files to XYZ, implies --svn-move Miscelaneous: --svn-pkg PACKAGE Specifies the package name --svn-override a=b Override some config variable (comma separated list) --svn-arch ARCH Allows specifying the build architecture --svn-verbose More verbose program output --svn-noninteractive Turn off interactive mode --svn-download-orig Use apt and uscan to download the .orig.tar.gz -h, --help Show this help message If the debian directory has the mergeWithUpstream property, svn-buildpackage will extract .orig.tar.gz file first and add the Debian files to it.
