6 dpkg-genbuildinfo - generate Debian .buildinfo files
7
9 dpkg-genbuildinfo [option...]
10
12 dpkg-genbuildinfo reads information from an unpacked and built Debian
13 source tree and from the files it has generated and generates a Debian
14 control file describing the build environment and the build artifacts
15 (.buildinfo file).
16 This command was introduced in dpkg 1.18.11.
18
20 --build=type
21 Specifies the build type from a comma-separated list of
22 components.
23 The allowed values are:
25 any Generate build information including unqualified build
27 dependencies (Build-Depends) and architecture specific
28 build dependencies (Build-Depends-Arch).
29 all Generate build information including unqualified build
31 dependencies (Build-Depends) and architecture independent
32 build dependencies (Build-Depends-Indep).
33 source Effectively ignored; generate build information with just
35 the unqualified build dependencies (Build-Depends).
36 binary Generate build information with all three types of build
38 dependencies. This is an alias for any,all.
39 full Generate build information with all three types of build
41 dependencies. This is an alias for any,all,source, and
42 the same as the default case when no build option is
43 specified.
44 -ccontrolfile
46 Specifies the main source control file to read information from.
47 The default is debian/control.
48 -lchangelog-file
50 Specifies the changelog file to read information from. The
51 default is debian/changelog.
52 -ffiles-list-file
54 Specifies where is the list of files that have been produced by
55 the build, rather than using debian/files.
56 -Fchangelog-format
58 Specifies the format of the changelog. See
59 dpkg-parsechangelog(1) for information about alternative
60 formats.
61 -O[filename]
63 Print the buildinfo file to standard output (or filename if
64 specified) rather than to dir/source-name_binary-
65 version_arch.buildinfo (where dir is .. by default or upload-
66 files-dir if -u was used).
67 -uupload-files-dir
69 Look for the files to be uploaded in upload-files-dir rather
70 than .. (dpkg-genbuildinfo needs to find these files so that it
71 can include their sizes and checksums in the .buildinfo file).
72 --always-include-path
74 By default, the Build-Path field will only be written if the
75 current directory starts with a whitelisted pattern.
76 On Debian and derivatives the pattern matches on /build/ at the
78 start of the pathname.
79 Specify this option to always write a Build-Path field when
81 generating the .buildinfo.
82 --admindir=dir
84 Change the location of the dpkg database. The default location
85 is /var/lib/dpkg.
86 -q dpkg-genbuildinfo might produce informative messages on standard
88 error. -q suppresses these messages.
89 -?, --help
91 Show the usage message and exit.
92 --version
94 Show the version and exit.
95
97 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
98 This variable can be used to enable or disable various features
99 that affect the information included in the .buildinfo file, via
100 the buildinfo option (since dpkg 1.18.19). This option contains
101 a comma-separated list of features, prefixed with the ‘+’ or ‘-’
102 modifiers, to denote whether to enable or disable them. The
103 special feature “all” can be used to enable or disable all other
104 features. The feature “path” controls whether to
105 unconditionally include the Build-Path field.
106
108 debian/files
109 The list of generated files. dpkg-genbuildinfo reads the data
110 here when producing a .buildinfo file.
