NAME

6       dpkg-genbuildinfo - generate Debian .buildinfo files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dpkg-genbuildinfo [option...]
10

DESCRIPTION

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
17       This command was introduced in dpkg 1.18.11.
18

OPTIONS

20       --build=type
21           Specifies the build type from a comma-separated list of components.
22
23           The allowed values are:
24
25           any Generate build information including unqualified build
26               dependencies (Build-Depends) and architecture specific build
27               dependencies (Build-Depends-Arch).
28
29           all Generate build information including unqualified build
30               dependencies (Build-Depends) and architecture independent build
31               dependencies (Build-Depends-Indep).
32
33           source
34               Effectively ignored; generate build information with just the
35               unqualified build dependencies (Build-Depends).
36
37           binary
38               Generate build information with all three types of build
39               dependencies.  This is an alias for any,all.
40
41           full
42               Generate build information with all three types of build
43               dependencies.  This is an alias for any,all,source, and the
44               same as the default case when no build option is specified.
45
46       -ccontrolfile
47           Specifies the main source control file to read information from.
48           The default is debian/control.
49
50       -lchangelog-file
51           Specifies the changelog file to read information from. The default
52           is debian/changelog.
53
54       -ffiles-list-file
55           Specifies where is the list of files that have been produced by the
56           build, rather than using debian/files.
57
58       -Fchangelog-format
59           Specifies the format of the changelog. See dpkg-parsechangelog(1)
60           for information about alternative formats.
61
62       -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-files-
66           dir if -u was used).
67
68       -uupload-files-dir
69           Look for the files to be uploaded in upload-files-dir rather than
70           ..  (dpkg-genbuildinfo needs to find these files so that it can
71           include their sizes and checksums in the .buildinfo file).
72
73       --always-include-kernel
74           By default, the Build-Kernel-Version field will not be written out.
75
76           Specify this option (since dpkg 1.19.0) to always write a Build-
77           Kernel-Version field when generating the .buildinfo.
78
79       --always-include-path
80           By default, the Build-Path field will only be written if the
81           current directory starts with an allowed pattern.
82
83           On Debian and derivatives the pattern matches on /build/ at the
84           start of the pathname.
85
86           Specify this option to always write a Build-Path field when
87           generating the .buildinfo.
88
89       --admindir=dir
90           Change the location of the dpkg database. The default location is
91           /var/lib/dpkg.
92
93       -q  dpkg-genbuildinfo might produce informative messages on standard
94           error.  -q suppresses these messages.
95
96       -?, --help
97           Show the usage message and exit.
98
99       --version
100           Show the version and exit.

ENVIRONMENT

103       DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
104           This variable can be used to enable or disable various features
105           that affect the information included in the .buildinfo file, via
106           the buildinfo option (since dpkg 1.18.19).  This option contains a
107           comma-separated list of features, prefixed with the ‘+’ or ‘-’
108           modifiers, to denote whether to enable or disable them.  The
109           special feature “all” can be used to enable or disable all other
110           features.  The feature “path” controls whether to unconditionally
111           include the Build-Path field.
112
113       DPKG_COLORS
114           Sets the color mode (since dpkg 1.18.5).  The currently accepted
115           values are: auto (default), always and never.
116
117       DPKG_NLS
118           If set, it will be used to decide whether to activate Native
119           Language Support, also known as internationalization (or i18n)
120           support (since dpkg 1.19.0).  The accepted values are: 0 and 1
121           (default).
122

FILES

124       debian/files
125           The list of generated files.  dpkg-genbuildinfo reads the data here
126           when producing a .buildinfo file.
