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:

Verify that it is being executed from the proper location.
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).

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.
