.SH NAME

debc \- view contents of a generated Debian package
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBdebc\fP [\fIoptions\fR] [\fIchanges file\fR] [\fIpackage\fR ...]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBdebc\fR figures out the current version of a package and displays
|
|
information about the \fI.deb\fR and \fI.udeb\fR files which have been generated
|
|
in the current build process. If a \fI.changes\fR file is specified
|
|
on the command line, the filename must end with \fI.changes\fR, as
|
|
this is how the program distinguishes it from package names. If not,
|
|
then \fBdebc\fR has to be called from within the source code directory
|
|
tree. In this case, it will look for the \fI.changes\fR file
|
|
corresponding to the current package version (by determining the name
|
|
and version number from the changelog, and the architecture in the
|
|
same way as \fBdpkg-buildpackage\fR(1) does). It then runs
|
|
\fBdpkg-deb \-I\fR and \fBdpkg-deb \-c\fR on every \fI.deb\fR and
|
|
\fI.udeb\fR archive listed in the \fI.changes\fR file to display
|
|
information about the contents of the \fI.deb\fR / \fI.udeb\fR files.
|
|
It precedes every \fI.deb\fR or \fI.udeb\fR file with the name of the
|
|
file. It assumes that all of the \fI.deb\fR / \fI.udeb\fR archives
|
|
live in the same directory as the \fI.changes\fR file. It is
|
|
useful for ensuring that the expected files have ended up in the
|
|
Debian package.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If a list of packages is given on the command line, then only those
|
|
debs or udebs with names in this list of packages will be processed.
|
|
.SH "Directory name checking"
|
|
In common with several other scripts in the \fBdevscripts\fR package,
|
|
\fBdebc\fR will climb the directory tree until it finds a
|
|
\fIdebian/changelog\fR file. As a safeguard against stray files
|
|
causing potential problems, it will examine the name of the parent
|
|
directory once it finds the \fIdebian/changelog\fR file, and check
|
|
that the directory name corresponds to the package name. Precisely
|
|
how it does this is controlled by two configuration file variables
|
|
\fBDEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_LEVEL\fR and \fBDEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_REGEX\fR, and
|
|
their corresponding command-line options \fB\-\-check-dirname-level\fR
|
|
and \fB\-\-check-dirname-regex\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBDEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_LEVEL\fR can take the following values:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B 0
|
|
Never check the directory name.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B 1
|
|
Only check the directory name if we have had to change directory in
|
|
our search for \fIdebian/changelog\fR. This is the default behaviour.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B 2
|
|
Always check the directory name.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The directory name is checked by testing whether the current directory
|
|
name (as determined by \fBpwd\fR(1)) matches the regex given by the
|
|
configuration file option \fBDEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_REGEX\fR or by the
|
|
command line option \fB\-\-check-dirname-regex\fR \fIregex\fR. Here
|
|
\fIregex\fR is a Perl regex (see \fBperlre\fR(3perl)), which will be
|
|
anchored at the beginning and the end. If \fIregex\fR contains a '/',
|
|
then it must match the full directory path. If not, then it must
|
|
match the full directory name. If \fIregex\fR contains the string
|
|
\'PACKAGE', this will be replaced by the source package name, as
|
|
determined from the changelog. The default value for the regex is:
|
|
\'PACKAGE(-.+)?', thus matching directory names such as PACKAGE and
|
|
PACKAGE-version.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-a\fIdebian-architecture\fR, \fB\-t\fIGNU-system-type\fR
|
|
See \fBdpkg-architecture\fR(1) for a description of these options.
|
|
They affect the search for the \fI.changes\fR file. They are provided
|
|
to mimic the behaviour of \fBdpkg-buildpackage\fR when determining the
|
|
name of the \fI.changes\fR file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-\-debs\-dir\fR \fIdirectory\fR
|
|
Look for the \fI.changes\fR, \fI.deb\fR and \fI.udeb\fR files in
|
|
\fIdirectory\fR instead of the parent of the source directory.
|
|
This should either be an absolute path or relative to the top of the
|
|
source directory.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-\-check-dirname-level\fR \fIN\fR
|
|
See the above section \fBDirectory name checking\fR for an explanation of
|
|
this option.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-\-check-dirname-regex\fR \fIregex\fR
|
|
See the above section \fBDirectory name checking\fR for an explanation of
|
|
this option.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-\-list-changes\fR
|
|
List the filename of the .changes file, and do not display anything else. This
|
|
option only makes sense if a .changes file is NOT passed explicitly in the
|
|
command line. This can be used for example in a script that needs to reference
|
|
the .changes file, without having to duplicate the heuristics for finding it
|
|
that debc already implements.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-\-list-debs\fR
|
|
List the filenames of the .deb packages, and do not display their contents.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-\-no-conf\fR, \fB\-\-noconf\fR
|
|
Do not read any configuration files. This can only be used as the
|
|
first option given on the command-line.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-\-help\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
|
|
Show help message and version information respectively.
|
|
.SH "CONFIGURATION VARIABLES"
|
|
The two configuration files \fI/etc/devscripts.conf\fR and
|
|
\fI~/.devscripts\fR are sourced in that order to set configuration
|
|
variables. Command line options can be used to override configuration
|
|
file settings. Environment variable settings are ignored for this
|
|
purpose. The currently recognised variables are:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B DEBRELEASE_DEBS_DIR
|
|
This specifies the directory in which to look for the \fI.changes\fR,
|
|
\fI.deb\fR and \fI.udeb\fR files, and is either an absolute path or
|
|
relative to the top of the source tree. This corresponds to the
|
|
\fB\-\-debs\-dir\fR command line option. This directive could be
|
|
used, for example, if you always use \fBpbuilder\fR or
|
|
\fBsvn-buildpackage\fR to build your packages. Note that it also
|
|
affects \fBdebrelease\fR(1) in the same way, hence the strange name of
|
|
the option.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_LEVEL ", " DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_REGEX
|
|
See the above section \fBDirectory name checking\fR for an explanation of
|
|
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).
