ubuntu-dev-tools - Configuration for the ubuntu-dev-tools package.
The
ubuntu-dev-tools package is similar in scope to the
devscripts(1) package, providing a collection of scripts which may be
of use to Ubuntu and Debian developers or others wishing to build Debian
packages.
Some of these scripts have options which may be configured on a system-wide and
per-user basis. These options are configured in
devscripts.conf(5).
All variables are described in the script's manpages. Package-wide variables
begin with "
UBUNTUTOOLS" and are listed below.
Every script which reads the configuration files can be forced to ignore them by
using the
--no-conf command-line option.
All
ubuntu-dev-tools configuration variables can be set (and overridden)
by setting them in the environment (unlike
devscripts).
In addition, several scripts use the following environment variables:
- UBUMAIL
- Overrides DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNAME when the
target is clearly Ubuntu. Can either contain an e-mail address or Full
Name <[email protected]>.
-
DEBEMAIL, DEBFULLNAME
- As in devscripts(1).
The currently recognised package-wide variables are:
- UBUNTUTOOLS_BUILDER
- This specifies the preferred test-builder, one of
pbuilder (default), sbuild, pbuilder-dist.
- UBUNTUTOOLS_DEBIAN_MIRROR
- The preferred Debian archive mirror. Should be of the form
http://ftp.debian.org/debian (no trailing slash). If not specified,
the master will be used.
- UBUNTUTOOLS_DEBSEC_MIRROR
- The preferred Debian security archive mirror. Should be of
the form http://security.debian.org (no trailing slash). If not
specified, the master will be used.
- UBUNTUTOOLS_UBUNTU_MIRROR
- The preferred Ubuntu archive mirror. Should be of the form
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu (no trailing slash). If not
specified, the master will be used.
- UBUNTUTOOLS_UBUNTU_PORTS_MIRROR
- The preferred Ubuntu archive mirror. Should be of the form
http://ports.ubuntu.com (no trailing slash). If not specified, the
master will be used.
- UBUNTUTOOLS_LPINSTANCE
- The launchpad instance to communicate with. e.g.
production (default) or staging.
- UBUNTUTOOLS_MIRROR_FALLBACK
- Whether or not to fall-back to the master archive mirror.
This is usually the desired behaviour, as mirrors can lag the masters. If
on a private network with only a local mirror, you may want to set this to
no. One of yes (default) or no.
- UBUNTUTOOLS_UPDATE_BUILDER
- Whether or not to update the test-builder before each test
build. One of yes or no (default).
- UBUNTUTOOLS_WORKDIR
- The directory to use for preparing source packages etc.
When unset, defaults to a directory in /tmp/ named after the
script.
