       Debcraft - Debcraft

DESCRIPTION

       usage: debcraft [options] <build|validate|release|shell|prune> [<path|pkg|srcpkg|dsc|git-url>]

       Debcraft is a tool to easily build .deb packages. The 'build' argument accepts as a subargument any of:

              * path to directory with program sources including a debian/ subdirectory

              with the Debian packaging instructions

              *  path to a .dsc file and source tarballs that can be built into a .deb * Debian package name, or
              source package name, that apt can download * git http(s) or ssh URL that  can  be  downloaded  and
              built

       The  commands  'validate'  and 'release' are intended to be used to finalize a package build. The command
       'shell' can be used to pay around in the container and 'prune' will clean up temporary files by Debcraft.

       In addition to parameters below, anything passed in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS will also be  honored.   Note  that
       Debcraft builds never runs as root, and thus packages with DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT are not supported.

   optional arguments:
       --build-dirs-path
              Path for writing build files and artifacts (default: parent directory)

       --distribution
              Linux distribution to build in (default: debian:sid)

       --container-command
              container command to use (default: podman)

       --pull ensure container base is updated

       --copy perform the build on a copy of the package directory

       --clean
              ensure sources are clean

       -h, --help
              display this help and exit

       --version
              display version and exit
