Options

All options passed to darcs-buildpackage are sent directly to debuild(1).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

If the DBP_BUILDER environment variable is set, it will be taken as the name of a command to use to build the Debian packages. It will be passed no arguments save those passed to darcs-buildpackage itself.

If DBP_BUILDER is not set, the default is to use debuild -i_darcs -I_darcs, which will build a package and ensure that that _darcs directory is not included in the generated Debian source package. If you set DBP_BUILDER, you should probably ensure that similar exclusions are passed to your preferred building tool.
