Please provide a mode that prints all flags (like dpkg-architecture). This way, a makefile/rules file only needs one invocation of dpkg-architecture and use use makefile magic to split out the needed values. See dpkg-buildflags --export. e.g.: Yes, --export serves this purpose. Matthias, is this enough for you? If yes please close the bug. I do think it would be intuitive dpkg-buildflags with no arguments to print something simple and useful, unless you are reserving that syntax for future expansion. But yeah, --export takes care of most use cases already. thanks for the pointer, I'll use this, but dpkg-buildflags working without parameters would be nice.
