Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.13
Source: devscripts
Synopsis:
It presently is not possible to use ccache, distcc, or other compiler
bootstrappers with debuild in an elegant way.
Rationale:
I have been using debuild for quite a while now, mainly because I know
that one of its goals is to sanitize the build environment. In any
case, I have interest in having it support a ccache or distcc
environment as elegantly as possible. What I have done here is provide
an additional CLI option that allows the user to prepend another
search location to the sanitized ${PATH}. Why I have chosen this route
is that it allows the packager to bypass a standard suite of compilers
in ${PATH} in favor of aliases, bootstrappers, job distributers, or
whatever else anyone can imagine. It's pretty implementation-agnostic.
I see this approach to being somewhat cleaner than providing explicit
support for ccache or distcc in debuild, as not doing this would
require debuild henceforth to follow ccache or distcc's environment
variable configuration rules. I'm sure none of you want to track the
specifics of their implementation. Plus, this is better than
explicitly overriding the ${PATH}, as one can do now to achieve this,
because this does not require the end-user to constantly track
debuild's implementation nor ${PATH} rules as the Linux FHS changes
over time.
An example of this use case would be:
/opt/build_tools_replacements contains replacement utilities that
override or replace make, cc, gcc, g++, ld, etc.
These tools are not to be used all the time by all persons for all
reasons; hence, they're not being in ${PATH}.
debuild --prepend-path /opt/build_tools_replacements
This makes it easy to augment debuild's standardized ${PATH} without
having to track debuild's internal override of ${PATH} in whatever
starts the build.
What are your thoughts?
I've attached a patch that I made from a SVN checkout of devscripts,
and---yes---the patch includes
modifications to the manual pages. ;-)
Cheers,
Matt

all environment variables except for TERM, HOME, LOGNAME, GNUPGHOME,
PGPPATH, GPG_AGENT_INFO, FAKEROOTKEY, DEB_* and the locale variables

See the above section "Directory name checking" for an explanation of
-these variables. Note that these are package-wide configuration
+these variables. Note that these are package\-wide configuration
variables, and will therefore affect all \fBdevscripts\fR scripts
which check their value, as described in their respective manpages and
in \fBdevscripts.conf\fR(5).

To build your own package, simply run \fBdebuild\fR from inside the
-source tree. \fBdpkg-buildpackage\fR(1) options may be given on the
+source tree. \fBdpkg\-buildpackage\fR(1) options may be given on the
command line.

The typical command line options to build only the binary package(s)
-without signing the .changes file (or the non-existent .dsc file):
-.IP
-.nf
-debuild -i -us -uc -b
-.fi
-.PP
-Change the "-b" to "-S" to build only a source package.

+without signing the .changes file (or the non\-existent .dsc file):
+.IP
+.nf
+debuild \-i \-us \-uc \-b
+.fi
+.PP
+Change the "\-b" to "\-S" to build only a source package.

An example using both \fBlintian\fR and \fBlinda\fR to check the
resulting packages, and also passing options to them both:
-.IP
-.nf
-debuild --linda -i -tc --lintian-opts -i --linda-opts -i
-.fi
-.PP
+.IP
+.nf
+debuild \-\-linda \-i \-tc \-\-lintian\-opts \-i \-\-linda\-opts \-i
+.fi
+.PP
Note the order of options here: the \fBdebuild\fR options come first,
-then the \fBdpkg-buildpackage\fR ones, then finally the checker
+then the \fBdpkg\-buildpackage\fR ones, then finally the checker
options. (And \fBlintian\fR is called by default.) If you find
-yourself using the same \fBdpkg-buildpackage\fR options repeatedly,
+yourself using the same \fBdpkg\-buildpackage\fR options repeatedly,
consider using the DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS configuration file
option as described above.

To build a package for a sponsored upload, given
-\fIfoobar_1.0-1.dsc\fR and the respective source files, run something
+\fIfoobar_1.0\-1.dsc\fR and the respective source files, run something
like the following commands:
-.IP
-.nf
-dpkg-source -x foobar_1.0-1.dsc
-cd foobar-1.0
-debuild -k0x12345678
-.fi
-.PP
+.IP
+.nf
+dpkg\-source \-x foobar_1.0\-1.dsc
+cd foobar\-1.0
+debuild \-k0x12345678
+.fi
+.PP
where 0x12345678 is replaced by your GPG key ID or other key
identifier such as your email address. Again, you could also use the
DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS configuration file option as described
above to avoid having to type the \fB\-k\fR option each time you do a
sponsored upload.
