CVS-DEBUILD(1)                         General Commands Manual                        CVS-DEBUILD(1)

NAME
       cvs-debuild - build a Debian package using cvs-buildpackage and debuild

SYNOPSIS
       cvs-debuild [debuild options] [cvs-buildpackage options] [--lintian-opts lintian options]

DESCRIPTION
       cvs-debuild is a wrapper around cvs-buildpackage to run it with debuild as the package-build‐
       ing program.  (This cannot simply be accomplished using the -C option of cvs-buildpackage, as
       it does not know how to handle all of the special debuild options.)

       The  program  simply stashes the debuild and lintian options, and passes them to debuild when
       it is called by cvs-buildpackage.  All of the standard debuild options may be used (as listed
       below), but note that the root command specified by any --rootcmd or -r  command-line  option
       will  be passed as an option to cvs-buildpackage.  The first non-debuild option detected will
       signal the start of the cvs-buildpackage options.

       The selection of the root command is slightly subtle: if there are any command-line  options,
       these  will  be  used.  If not, then if cvs-buildpackage is set up to use a default root com‐
       mand, that will be used.  Finally, if neither of these are the case, then  debuild  will  use
       its procedures to determine an appropriate command, as described in its documentation.

       See the manpages for debuild(1) and cvs-buildpackage for more information about the behaviour
       of each.

OPTIONS
       The  following  are  the debuild options recognised by cvs-debuild.  All cvs-buildpackage and
       lintian options are simply passed to the appropriate program.  For explanations of the  mean‐
       ings of these variables, see debuild(1).

       --no-conf, --noconf

       --rootcmd=gain-root-command, -rgain-root-command

       --preserve-env

       --preserve-envvar=var, -evar

       --set-envvar=var=value, -evar=value

       --lintian, --no-lintian

       --ignore-dirname, --check-dirname
              These should not be needed, but it is provided nevertheless.
