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.
