tla-buildpackage1

Usage

Overview

The tla-buildpackage command is used to build Debian source and .deb packages from a checked-out version of a Debian source tree. Please refer to the tla-buildpackage manual for instructions on how to check out such a tree.

tla-buildpackage will, in order:

•

Verify that it is being executed from the proper location.

•

Check to see if a proper orig.tar.gz exists. If not, it will check out the proper upstream directory from the tla-buildpackage repository (if necessary) and build the orig.tar.gz. The orig.tar.gz will not contain Arch meta-data.

•

Call debuild(1) with arguments instructing it to ignore Arch meta-data in the diff.gz, passing along all arguments given to tla-buildpackage.

Options

All options passed to tla-buildpackage (except for -h, --help, -v, and --version) are sent directly to debuild(1).
