hg-buildpackage(1)
NAME
hg-buildpackage - Build Debian packages from a Mercurial archive
SYNOPSIS
hg-buildpackage [ args for debuild ... ]
DESCRIPTION
The hg-buildpackage command is used to build Debian source and .deb
packages from a checked-out version of a Debian source tree. Please
refer to the hg-buildpackage manual for instructions on how to check
out such a tree.
hg-buildpackage will, in order:
o Verify that it is being executed from the proper location.
- o Check to see if a proper orig.tar.gz exists. If not, it will check
- out the proper upstream directory from the hg-buildpackage repository (if necessary) and build the orig.tar.gz. The orig.tar.gz will not contain Mercurial meta-data.
- If the upstream repository is not available locally, it will consult mirrors in the same manner as hg-get(1).
- o Call debuild(1) (or the application specified in DBP_BUILDER) with
- arguments instructing it to ignore Mercurial meta-data in the diff.gz, passing along all arguments given to hg-buildpackage.
OPTIONS
All options passed to hg-buildpackage are sent directly to debuild(1).
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
If the DBP_BUILDER environment variable is set, it will be taken as the
name of a command to use to build the Debian packages. It will be
passed the same arguments as debuild would have received.
EXAMPLE
~$ cd ~/tree/debian
FIXME: show example
ENVIRONMENT
This application uses no environment variables directly, but other programs it calls may do so.
