NAME
Dpkg::BuildDriver - drive the build of a Debian package
DESCRIPTION
This class is used by dpkg-buildpackage to drive the build of a Debian
package.
Note: This is a private module, its API can change at any time.
METHODS
$bd = Dpkg::BuildDriver->new(%opts)
Create a new Dpkg::BuildDriver object. It will load a build driver
module as requested in the Build-Drivers field in the $opts{ctrl}
Dpkg::Control::Info object or if not present, it will fall back to
load the default debian-rules driver.
Options:
ctrl (required)
A Dpkg::Control::Info object.
root_cmd
A string with the gain-root-command to use when needing to
execute a command with root-like rights. If needed and unset,
it will default to fakeroot if it is available or the module
will error out.
as_root
A boolean to force debian/rules target calls as root-like, even
if they would normally not require to be executed as root-like.
This option is applied to all targets globally.
Note: This option is only relevant for drivers that use
debian/rules.
debian_rules
An array containing the command to execute the debian/rules file
and any additional arguments. It defaults to debian/rules.
Note: This option is only relevant for drivers that use
debian/rules.
rrr_override
A string that overrides the Rules-Requires-Root field value.
Note: This option is only relevant for drivers that use
debian/rules.
$bd->pre_check()
Perform build driver specific checks, before anything else.
This will run after the init hook, and before "dpkg-source
--before-build".
Note: This is an optional method that can be omitted from the driver
implementation.
$bool = $bd->need_build_task($build_task, binary_task)
Returns whether we need to use the build task.
Note: This method is needed as long as we support building as root-
like. Once that is not needed this method will be deprecated.
$bd->run_build_task($build_task, $binary_task)
Executes the build task for the build.
Note: This is an optional method needed as long as we support
building as root-like. Once that is not needed this method will be
deprecated.
$bd->run_task($task)
Executes the given task for the build.
