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-building 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 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.

       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).

       --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.
