man buildd.conf (5): configuration file for buildd

DESCRIPTION

buildd.conf is a Perl script which is sourced by buildd to permit configuration. It is run in a sandbox and restricted to setting a small number of variables, detailed below, which may be set to configure the behaviour of buildd. Each variable has an internal name, shown in all caps, and a perl variable showing the default setting. Note that the internal name is not accessible within buildd.conf; only the variable may be assigned. Also note that some of the defaults are set to be unique for each build, and so some of the defaults shown here are unique to the user and system used to build sbuild, and will be different for your system.

While buildd permits many aspects of its behaviour to be configured, this should not normally be required. The defaults should be adequate for most uses, and should only be changed if you are doing something more advanced, or have specialist requirements.

CONFIGURATION

Build environment

PATH: STRING type. PATH to set when running dpkg-buildpackage.
: Related sbuild(1) command line options:

: --use-snapshot

: Default:

: $path = '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games';

Build options

BUILD_ARCH: STRING type. Build architecture (Arch we are building on).
: Related sbuild(1) command line options:

: --arch
--build

: build_arch = ...;

BUILD_PROFILES: STRING type. Build profiles. Separated by spaces.
: Related sbuild(1) command line options:

: --profiles

: Default:

: $build_profiles = '';

DISTRIBUTION: STRING type. Default distribution. By default, no distribution is defined, and the user must specify it with the -d option. However, a default may be configured here if desired. Users must take care not to upload to the wrong distribution when this option is set, for example experimental packages will be built for upload to unstable when this is not what is required.
: Related sbuild(1) command line options:

: -d
--dist

: Default:

: $distribution = undef;

DISTRIBUTIONS: ARRAY:HASH:SCALAR type. List of distributions that buildd should take packages from Example:

               dist_name => ["unstable", "testing"],

               # architecture to be built (will be passed to sbuild and can be

               # regex used to filter out unwanted packages:

               #no_build_regex => "^(contrib/|non-free/)?non-US/",

               # regex used to filter packages to build:
