NAME

6       rbm_targets - rbm targets configuration
7

DESCRIPTION

9       When you are building packages you might want to build them in
10       different situations, with different options. The targets allow you to
11       define those options.
12
13       For instance you could be doing nightly builds of your packages, local
14       test builds when you are working on the developpement of a new feature,
15       and from time to time build a package for a new release. In such
16       situation, you could use command line arguments to change the options,
17       or change the config file each time, but that is not very convenient.
18       Instead you can define targets with any number of options, and use a
19       single argument to select the target.
20

CONFIGURATION

22       The targets can be defined in any of the configuration files, using the
23       targets option. This option is an hash, with the target names as keys,
24       and as value an other hash containing the options to be used for this
25       target.
26
27       As an example we could define the following targets :
28
29       •   the dev target, for daily development, from the master branch. You
30           don’t to use pbuilder, so you can have your package built more
31           quickly. You don’t want to sign the packages. And you want this
32           target to be the default.
33
34       •   the release target, for building packages for a new release. You
35           want to use pbuilder to make sure it is built in a clean chroot.
36           You only want to build them from gpg signed tags. You want to sign
37           the packages with a specific key.
38
39       In such case, the following targets configuration could be used :
40
41           targets:
42             dev:
43               git_hash: master
44               use_pbuilder: 0
45             release:
46               use_pbuilder: 1
47               debsign_keyid: 123456
48               tag_gpg_id: 1
49
50       If the value of a target is not a hash containing options, but a string
51       or an array of strings, then this or those names are used as targets.
52       This is useful if you want to say that a target is the same as an other
53       one, or to extend a target.
54
55       You can use this if you want to set a default target. When no target
56       has been selected, the notarget target is used. In this example, we set
57       dev as the default target:
58
59           targets:
60             notarget: dev
61             dev:
62               git_hash: master
63               use_pbuilder: 0
64             release:
65               use_pbuilder: 1
66               debsign_keyid: 123456
67               tag_gpg_id: 1
68
69       In this example we extend the release target as release_1 to add a
70       git_hash:
71
72           targets:
73             release_1:
74              - git_hash_version_1
75              - release
76             release:
77               use_pbuilder: 1
78               debsign_keyid: 123456
79               tag_gpg_id: 1
80             git_hash_version_1:
81               git_hash: version-1.0
82

COMMAND LINE OPTION

84       The target to be used can be selected with the --target command line
85       option. You can select more than one target by giving the option
86       multiple times, and in this case they will be used in the order given
87       on the command line. If no target is selected, then the notarget target
88       is used.
89
90       For example, if you want to build a debian package for dev target :
91
92           $ rbm deb --target dev
93
94       If you want to build a debian package for the release target, using the
95       0.1.2.3 tag:
96
97           $ rbm deb --target release --git-hash 0.1.2.3
98
99       Sometime, an option in one project will use the value of an option from
100       an other project (with the pc template function, see rbm_templates(7)
101       for details), or a project will use the output of an other project as
102       input file (see rbm_input_files(7) for details). In such cases, you may
103       want to select a target to be applied only for a specific project. This
104       can be done with the following syntax:
105
106           $ rbm build --target project:target
