dpkg-genchanges(1) dpkg suite dpkg-genchanges(1)
dpkg-genchanges - generate Debian .changes files
dpkg-genchanges [option...]
dpkg-genchanges reads information from an unpacked and built
Debian source tree and from the files it has generated and
generates a Debian upload control file (.changes file).
--build=type
Specifies the build type from a comma-separated list of
components (since dpkg 1.18.5).
The allowed values are:
source
Upload the source package.
any Upload the architecture specific binary packages.
all Upload the architecture independent binary packages.
binary
Upload the architecture specific and independent binary
packages. This is an alias for any,all.
full
Upload everything. This is alias for source,any,all, and
the same as the default case when no build option is
specified.
-g Equivalent to --build=source,all (since dpkg 1.17.11).
-G Equivalent to --build=source,any (since dpkg 1.17.11).
-b Equivalent to --build=binary or --build=any,all.
-B Equivalent to --build=any.
-A Equivalent to --build=all.
-S Equivalent to --build=source.
The -sx options control whether the original source archive is
included in the upload if any source is being generated (i.e. -b
or -B haven't been used).
-si By default, or if specified, the original source will be
included only if the upstream version number (the version
without epoch and without Debian revision) differs from the
upstream version number of the previous changelog entry.
-sa Forces the inclusion of the original source.
-sd Forces the exclusion of the original source and includes only
the diff.
-vversion
Causes changelog information from all versions strictly later
than version to be used.
-Cchanges-description
Read the description of the changes from the file changes-
description rather than using the information from the source
tree's changelog file.
-mmaintainer-address
Use maintainer-address as the name and email address of the
maintainer for this package, rather than using the
information from the source tree's control file.
-emaintainer-address
Use maintainer-address as the name and email address of the
maintainer for this upload, rather than using the information
from the source tree's changelog.
-Vname=value
Set an output substitution variable. See deb-substvars(5)
for a discussion of output substitution.
-Tsubstvars-file
Read substitution variables in substvars-file; the default is
debian/substvars. No variable substitution is done on any of
the fields that are output, except for the contents extracted
from each binary package Description field (since dpkg
1.19.0), however the special variable Format will override
the field of the same name. This option can be used multiple
times to read substitution variables from multiple files
(since dpkg 1.15.6).
-Dfield=value
Override or add an output control file field.
-Ufield
Remove an output control file field.
-ccontrolfile
Specifies the main source control file to read information
from. The default is debian/control.
-lchangelog-file
Specifies the changelog file to read information from. The
default is debian/changelog.
-ffiles-list-file
Read the list of files to be uploaded here, rather than using
debian/files.
-Fchangelog-format
Specifies the format of the changelog. See
dpkg-parsechangelog(1) for information about alternative
formats.
-uupload-files-dir
Look for the files to be uploaded in upload-files-dir rather
than .. (dpkg-genchanges needs to find these files so that
it can include their sizes and checksums in the .changes
file).
-q Usually dpkg-genchanges will produce informative messages on
standard error, for example about how many of the package's
source files are being uploaded. -q suppresses these
messages.
-O[filename]
Print the changes file to standard output (the default) or to
filename if specified (since dpkg 1.18.5).
-?, --help
Show the usage message and exit.
--version
Show the version and exit.
DEB_HOST_ARCH
Sets the host architecture.
DPKG_COLORS
Sets the color mode (since dpkg 1.18.5). The currently
accepted values are: auto (default), always and never.
DPKG_NLS
If set, it will be used to decide whether to activate Native
Language Support, also known as internationalization (or
i18n) support (since dpkg 1.19.0). The accepted values are:
0 and 1 (default).
debian/files
The list of generated files which are part of the upload
being prepared. dpkg-genchanges reads the data here when
producing a .changes file.
deb-substvars(5), deb-src-control(5), deb-src-files(5),
deb-changelog(5), deb-changes(5).
