NAME
dpkg-genbuildinfo - generate Debian .buildinfo files
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-genbuildinfo
[
option...]
DESCRIPTION
dpkg-genbuildinfo
reads information from an unpacked and built Debian source tree and
from the files it has generated and generates a Debian control
file describing the build environment and the build artifacts
(
.buildinfo file).
This command was introduced in dpkg 1.18.11.
OPTIONS
- --build=type
-
Specifies the build type from a comma-separated list of components.
The allowed values are:
-
- any
-
Generate build information including unqualified build dependencies
(Build-Depends) and architecture specific build dependencies
(Build-Depends-Arch).
- all
-
Generate build information including unqualified build dependencies
(Build-Depends) and architecture independent build dependencies
(Build-Depends-Indep).
- source
-
Effectively ignored; generate build information with just the unqualified
build dependencies (Build-Depends).
- binary
-
Generate build information with all three types of build dependencies.
This is an alias for any,all.
- full
-
Generate build information with all three types of build dependencies.
This is an alias for any,all,source, and the same as the default
case when no build option is specified.
- -ccontrolfile
-
Specifies the main source control file to read information from. The
default is
debian/control.
- -lchangelog-file
-
Specifies the changelog file to read information from. The
default is
debian/changelog.
- -ffiles-list-file
-
Specifies where is the list of files that have been produced by the build,
rather than using
debian/files.
- -Fchangelog-format
-
Specifies the format of the changelog. See dpkg-parsechangelog(1)
for information about alternative formats.
- -O[filename]
-
Print the buildinfo file to standard output (or filename if specified)
rather than to
dir/source-name_source-version_arch.buildinfo
(where dir is .. by default or upload-files-dir
if -u was used).
- -uupload-files-dir
-
Look for the files to be uploaded in
upload-files-dir
rather than
..
(dpkg-genbuildinfo needs to find these files so that it can include
their sizes and checksums in the .buildinfo file).
- --always-include-path
-
By default, the Build-Path field will only be written if the current
directory starts with a whitelisted pattern.
On Debian and derivatives the pattern matches on /build/ at the start
of the pathname.
Specify this option to always write a Build-Path field when generating
the .buildinfo.
- --admindir=dir
-
Change the location of the dpkg database. The default location is
/var/lib/dpkg.
- -q
-
dpkg-genbuildinfo
might produce informative messages on standard error.
-q
suppresses these messages.
- -?, --help
-
Show the usage message and exit.
- --version
-
Show the version and exit.
ENVIRONMENT
- DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
-
This variable can be used to enable or disable various features that affect
the information included in the .buildinfo file, via the buildinfo
option (since dpkg 1.18.19).
This option contains a comma-separated list of features, prefixed with the
oq+cq or oq-cq modifiers, to denote whether to enable or disable
them.
The special feature lqallrq can be used to enable or disable all other
features.
The feature lqpathrq controls whether to unconditionally include the
Build-Path field.
FILES
- debian/files
-
The list of generated files.
dpkg-genbuildinfo
reads the data here when producing a
.buildinfo
file.
