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). +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR debdiff (1), +.BR dpkg-deb (1), +.BR devscripts.conf (5) +.SH AUTHOR +Julian Gilbey , based on an original script by +Christoph Lameter . -- cgit v1.2.3
