Provided by: dpkg-dev_1.19.0.5ubuntu2.4_all

NAME

       dpkg-genbuildinfo - generate Debian .buildinfo files

SYNOPSIS

       dpkg-genbuildinfo [option...]

DESCRIPTION

       dpkg-genbuildinfo  reads  information from an unpacked and built Debian source tree and from the files it
       has generated and generates a Debian  control  file  describing  the  build  environment  and  the  build
       artifacts (.buildinfo file).

       This command was introduced in dpkg 1.18.11.

OPTIONS

--build=type
Specifies the build type from a comma-separated list of components.

The allowed values are:

any Generate build information including unqualified build dependencies (Build-Depends) and
architecture specific build dependencies (Build-Depends-Arch).

all Generate build information including unqualified build dependencies (Build-Depends) and
architecture independent build dependencies (Build-Depends-Indep).

source Effectively ignored; generate build information with just the unqualified build
dependencies (Build-Depends).

binary Generate build information with all three types of build dependencies. This is an alias
for any,all.

full Generate build information with all three types of build dependencies. This is an alias
for any,all,source, and the same as the default case when no build option is specified.

-ccontrolfile
Specifies the main source control file to read information from. The default is debian/control.

-lchangelog-file
Specifies the changelog file to read information from. The default is debian/changelog.

-ffiles-list-file
Specifies where is the list of files that have been produced by the build, rather than using
debian/files.

-Fchangelog-format
Specifies the format of the changelog. See dpkg-parsechangelog(1) for information about
alternative formats.

-O[filename]
Print the buildinfo file to standard output (or filename if specified) rather than to dir/source-
name_binary-version_arch.buildinfo (where dir is .. by default or upload-files-dir if -u was
used).

-uupload-files-dir
Look for the files to be uploaded in upload-files-dir rather than .. (dpkg-genbuildinfo needs to
find these files so that it can include their sizes and checksums in the .buildinfo file).

--always-include-kernel
By default, the Build-Kernel-Version field will not be written out.

Specify this option (since dpkg 1.19.0) to always write a Build-Kernel-Version field when
generating the .buildinfo.

--always-include-path
By default, the Build-Path field will only be written if the current directory starts with a
whitelisted pattern.

On Debian and derivatives the pattern matches on /build/ at the start of the pathname.

Specify this option to always write a Build-Path field when generating the .buildinfo.

--admindir=dir
Change the location of the dpkg database. The default location is /var/lib/dpkg.

-q dpkg-genbuildinfo might produce informative messages on standard error. -q suppresses these
messages.

-?, --help
Show the usage message and exit.

--version
Show the version and exit.

ENVIRONMENT

       DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
              This variable can be used to enable or  disable  various  features  that  affect  the  information
              included  in  the  .buildinfo  file,  via  the buildinfo option (since dpkg 1.18.19).  This option
              contains a comma-separated list of features, prefixed with the ‘+’ or  ‘-’  modifiers,  to  denote
              whether to enable or disable them.  The special feature “all” can be used to enable or disable all
              other  features.   The  feature  “path” controls whether to unconditionally include the Build-Path
              field.
