Dpkg::BuildDriver(3perl)

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.
