CVS-DEBUILD(1)

💖 CVS-DEBUILD(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the cvs-debuild page, straight out of the General Commands Manual ✨ buckle up, it's a short one but it's a whole vibe 🦋

🌸 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 🎀

So like, cvs-debuild is a wrapper around cvs-buildpackage that runs it with debuild as the package-building program 💅 (and no, you literally cannot just do this with the -C option of cvs-buildpackage, because that thing does not know how to handle all of the special debuild options. it's giving "not capable", fr fr 😭)

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 command, 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. (iconic behaviour honestly) 🌈

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 meanings of these variables, see debuild(1). iykyk ✨

• --no-conf, --noconf — no-conf mode, activated, periodt 💁
• *--rootcmd=gain-root-command*, -rgain-root-command — tell it which command should go grab you that root power 👑
• --preserve-env — keep the environment exactly as it is, protect the vibe 🫧
• *--preserve-envvar=var*, -evar — preserve this one specific variable, queen behaviour 🌸
• *--set-envvar=var*=value, -evar=value — set a variable to a value, do a little makeover 💄
• --lintian, --no-lintian — turn lintian on or off, your call bestie ⭐
• --ignore-dirname, --check-dirname — These should not be needed, but it is provided nevertheless. (a little bonus, a little treat 🍓)
