DESCRIPTION

       gbp buildpackage is used to build Debian source and .deb packages from a Git repository.

       gbp buildpackage will, in order:

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

       • Verify that the repository doesn't contain any uncommitted source changes.

       • Verify that it is being executed from the correct branch.

       • (Optionally) run a clean command specified with --git-cleaner.

       • (Optionally) export the source tree to a separate build area.

       • Build an orig tarball if it doesn't exist. Optionally using pristine-tar.

       • (Optionally) call a pre build hook.

       • Call  debuild(1)  or  Cowbuilder  (via  --git-pbuilder) or the application specified via
         --git-builder passing along all arguments given to gbp buildpackage on the command  line
         that don't start with --git-.

       • (Optionally) tag the current commit after a successful build.

       • (Optionally) call a post build hook - e.g. to run lintian.

       • (Optionally)  call  a  post  tag  hook - e.g. to push the results to a remote repository
         after creating the tag.

OPTIONS

       All options are prefixed with  git-  to  distinguish  options  for  gbp buildpackage  from
       options passed to the BUILD_CMD:

   UPSTREAM TARBALL CREATION OPTIONS
       When  gbp buildpackage  doesn't find a suitable upstream tarball it will create one either
       using pristine-tar or git archive. These options determine how the tarball is created:

       --git-pristine-tar
              Use pristine-tar when generating the upstream tarball if it doesn't exist. If  this
              mode is enabled the --git-upstream-tag, --git-upstream-tree options have no effect.

       --git-upstream-tag=TAG-FORMAT
              Use  this  tag  format  when  looking  for  tags  of upstream versions to build the
              upstream tarballs. Default is upstream/%(version)s. This must be set  correctly  if
              you  don't want to pass any other options. The default matches what gbp import-orig
              uses to create tags.

       --git-upstream-tree=[BRANCH|SLOPPY|TAG|TREEISH]
              How to find the upstream sources used to generate the tarball.  TAG  (the  default)
              looks  at  a tag corresponding to the version in the changelog. BRANCH looks at the
              upstream branch given via the --git-upstream-branch option. The SLOPPY option looks
              at the debian branch given via the --git-debian-branch and drops the debian/ dir.

              Other values are interpreted as treeishs.

              This doesn't have any effect if --git-pristine-tar is being used.

       --git-upstream-branch=BRANCH_NAME
              Branch  to  build  the  orig  tarball from if --git-upstream-tree is set to BRANCH.
              Default is upstream.

       --git-tarball-dir=DIRECTORY
              Search for upstream tarballs in DIRECTORY instead of generating them. If a  tarball
              is  not  found  here  it  will  be generated nevertheless.  DIRECTORY can contain a
              version format substitution pattern, eg: foo-%(version)s.

       --git-component=COMPONENT
              When generating  tarballs  create  an  additional  upstream  tarball  of  directory
              COMPONENT  in  the  source tree. Using additional upstream tarballs is a feature of
              the 3.0 (quilt) source format. See the dpkg-source manpage for details.  Note  that
              the --git-pristine-tar-commit option is currently incompatible with this option.

              This is considered an experimental feature and might change incompatibly.

       --git-pristine-tar-commit
              Commit  the  pristine-tar  delta  to  the  pristine-tar branch if a new tarball was
              generated and the pristine-tar data isn't already there.

       --git-force-create
              Force creation of an upstream tarball (overwriting a pre-existing one if present).

       --git-no-create-orig
              Don't try to create any  upstream  tarballs  or  to  create  symlinks  to  existing
              tarballs in tarball-dir.

       --git-upstream-signatures=[auto|on|off]
              Whether to export the upstream tarball with signatures.

       --git-[no-]submodules
              Include Git submodules in the orig tarball if present.

       --git-compression=TYPE
              Specifies  the  upstream  tarball compression type. This will be used to locate and
              build the upstream tarball if necessary. The default  is  auto  which  derives  the
              compression  type  from the pristine-tar branch if available and falls back to gzip
              otherwise. Other options are gzip, bzip2, lzma and xz.

       --git-compression-level=LEVEL
              Specifies the upstream tarball compression level if an upstream tarball needs to be
              built.

   PACKAGE BUILD OPTIONS
       gbp buildpackage  can  invoke different types of builders to produce the source and binary
       packages. These options determine which builder is invoked and how.

       --git-builder=BUILD_CMD
              Use BUILD_CMD instead of debuild -i -I. If you want to use Cowbuilder  or  Pbuilder
              see the --git-pbuilder.

       --git-cleaner=CLEAN_CMD
              Use  CLEAN_CMD  to clean the source tree before the build. The default is /bin/true
              (no cleaning).

       --git-pbuilder
              Build the package using git-pbuilder (which uses cowbuilder by default). Note  that
              this overwrites any --git-builder and --git-cleaner options.

       --git-qemubuilder
              Build  package  using  git-pbuilder with qemubuilder. Note that this overwrites any
              --git-builder and --git-cleaner options.

       --git-dist=DIST
              Build for distribution DIST when using  git-pbuilder  (either  via  --git-pbuilder,
              --git-qemubuilder  or the corresponding configuration file options). If unset build
              for the unstable distribution. The special value DEP14 will set the distribution to
              build  for  from  the  branch name. I.e. if you're starting the build from a branch
              named debian/wheezy-backports the distribution is set to wheezy-backports.  If  the
              branch is named downstream/sid the distribution is set to downstream_sid.

       --git-arch=ARCH
              Build  for  architecture  ARCH  when using git-pbuilder (either via --git-pbuilder,
              --git-qemubuilder or the corresponding configuration file  options).  If  unset  no
              architecture is passed to git-pbuilder.

       --git-pbuilder-autoconf
              Whether  to  try  to  autoconfigure  git-pbuilder  or  to  rely  on the settings in
              .pbuilderrc. See the git-pbuilder manpage for details. Only takes effect when using
              git-pbuilder  (either  via  --git-pbuilder,  --git-qemubuilder or the corresponding
              configuration file options).

       --git-pbuilder-options
              Options  to  pass  to  pbuilder  when  building  via   git-pbuilder   (either   via
              --git-pbuilder, --git-qemubuilder or the corresponding configuration file options).
              It does so by using the GIT_PBUILDER_OPTIONS environment variable to  pass  options
              to git-pbuilder.

              As  an  example, to tell pbuilder to use an alternate .pbuilderrc file, you may run
              gbp buildpackage with --git-pbuilder-options="--configfile /tmp/my/pbuilderrc". See
              pbuilder(8) for more options to pass through here.

              If unset the GIT_PBUILDER_OPTIONS environment variable will be left untouched.

       --git-notify=[auto|on|off]
              Whether  to send a desktop notification after the build. This needs python3-notify2
              installed.

   HOOK OPTIONS
       Hooks allow you to run arbitrary commands at different stages of the build. These  options
       configure what will be run:

       --git-preexport=COMMAND
              Execute  COMMAND  before  exporting the source tree. Valid only if --git-export-dir
              has been specified.

              Exported environment variables are: GBP_GIT_DIR  (the  repository  the  package  is
              being built from), GBP_BUILD_DIR (the build dir).

       --git-postexport=COMMAND
              Execute COMMAND after exporting the source tree. Valid only if --git-export-dir has
              been specified. The working directory of this hook is the toplevel directory of the
              exported source tree.

              Exported  environment  variables  are:  GBP_GIT_DIR  (the repository the package is
              being built from), GBP_TMP_DIR (the temporary directory where the sources have been
              initially exported).

       --git-prebuild=COMMAND
              Execute  COMMAND from the build directory before calling debuild or the application
              specified via --git-builder.

              Exported environment variables are: GBP_GIT_DIR  (the  repository  the  package  is
              being built from), GBP_BUILD_DIR (the build dir).

       --git-postbuild=COMMAND
              Execute  COMMAND  after successful build. The working directory of this hook is the
              directory the package was built in.

              Exported environment variables are: GBP_CHANGES_FILE (the  name  of  the  generated
              changes file), GBP_BUILD_DIR (the build dir).

       --git-posttag=COMMAND
              Execute  COMMAND after tagging a new version. The working directory of this hook is
              the toplevel directory of the Git repository.

              Exported environment variables are:  GBP_TAG  (the  name  of  the  generated  tag),
              GBP_BRANCH  (the  branch  the package was built from) and GBP_SHA1 (the sha1 of the
              commit the tag was created at).

       --git-[no-]hooks
              Enable running  all  (cleaner,  preexport,  postexport,  prebuild,  postbuild,  and
              posttag) hooks. Note: the --git-builder command is not affected by this option.

   TAGGING OPTIONS
       --git-tag
              Add  a  git  tag after a successful build. It tags the currently checked out commit
              except when you're on a patch-queue branch. In that case the  corresponding  debian
              branch is tagged.

              This is a command line only option that cannot be specified via gbp.conf.

       --git-[no-]sign-tags
              GPG sign all created tags.

       --git-keyid=GPG-KEYID
              Use this keyid for gpg signing tags.

       --git-debian-tag=TAG-FORMAT
              Use this tag format when tagging Debian versions, default is debian/%(version)s.

       --git-debian-tag-msg=tag-msg-format
              Use this tag message format when signing Debian versions, default is %(pkg)s Debian
              release %(version)s

       --git-retag
              Don't fail tag operations if a tag with the same version already exists. This is  a
              command line only option that cannot be specified via gbp.conf.

       --git-tag-only
              Don't  build,  only  tag and run post-tag hooks. This is a command line only option
              that cannot be specified via gbp.conf.

   BUILD AREA OPTIONS
       gbp buildpackage can export the source tree to a different  build-area  before  performing
       the build. This options specify if and how this is done:

       --git-export-dir=DIRECTORY
              Export  the  current  branch  head (or the treeish object given via --git-export to
              DIRECTORY before building. If unset the source will not be exported before starting
              the build.

       --git-export=TREEISH
              Instead  of  exporting  the current branch head, export the treeish object TREEISH.
              The special name INDEX exports the  current  index  whereas  the  special  name  WC
              exports the current working copy as is.

              Note  that using WC enables the --git-ignore-branch and --git-ignore-new options as
              well since when exporting the working copy there's no point in enforcing any branch
              or modification checks.

       --git[-no]-purge
              Purge  (remove) temporary build area after build. This is the default but it can be
              turned off for e.g. debugging purposes.

       --git-[no-]overlay
              Extract upstream tarball from tarball-dir when  using  the  export-dir  option  (in
              analogy  to  mergeWithUpstream  in svn-bp). Also remove debian/ if contained in the
              upstream tarball in case of 2.0 and 3.0 source formats.

              This optios allows one to keep only the debian/ dir in the version control system.

   SAFETY OPTIONS
       In order to make sure what you build is what you upload gbp buildpackage performs  several
       safety checks. These options allow one to configure and disable them:

       --git-debian-branch=BRANCH_NAME
              If  you're  not on this branch when invoking gbp buildpackage it will fail. Default
              is master. This is done to make sure you don't accidentally release  from  a  topic
              branch. Not being on this branch will be ignored when using --git-ignore-new.

       --git-ignore-branch
              Don't check if the current branch matches DEBIAN-BRANCH.

       --git-[no-]ignore-new
              Don't  abort  if  there  are  uncommitted changes in the source tree or the current
              branch doesn't match the DEBIAN-BRANCH.

   COLOR AND VERBOSITY OPTIONS
       --git-verbose
              Verbose execution. Useful for debugging and bug reports.

       --git-color=[auto|on|off]
              Whether to use colored output.

       --git-color-scheme=COLOR_SCHEME
              Colors to use in output (when color is enabled). The  format  for  COLOR_SCHEME  is
              '<debug>:<info>:<warning>:<error>'.  Numerical values and color names are accepted,
              empty fields imply the default color.  For  example  --git-color-scheme='cyan:34::'
              would  show  debug  messages  in  cyan, info messages in blue and other messages in
              default (i.e. warning and error messages in red).

EXAMPLES

       Build a Debian package using git-pbuilder  which  in  turn  invokes  cowbuilder.  Instruct
       cowbuilder to build within a Wheezy chroot for i386.

             gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder --git-arch=i386 --git-dist=wheezy

       Note that the above needs a cowbuilder chroot already. This can be created using:

             DIST=wheezy ARCH=i386 git-pbuilder create

CONFIGURATION FILES

       Several  gbp.conf  files  are parsed to set defaults for the above command-line arguments.
       See the gbp.conf(5) manpage for details.

       All options in the config files must be specified  without  the  'git-'  prefix.  So  e.g.
       --git-debian-branch=debian/sid becomes in gbp.conf:

             [buildpackage]
             debian-branch = debian/sid
