NAME

       tla-buildpackage - Build Debian packages from a tla/Arch archive

SYNOPSIS

       tla-buildpackage [ args for debuild ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       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).

EXAMPLE

       ~$ cd ~/tree/debian
       ~/tree/debian$ tla buildcfg debian/rdiff-backup/0.12.5-1
       ~/tree/debian$ cd +packages/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup-0.12.5
       ~/tree/debian/+packages/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup-0.12.5$ tla-buildpackage \
               -rfakeroot
