dpkg-build-api - source package dpkg build API level
Build-Depends:
dpkg-build-api (= 1),
The source package dpkg build API level, defines a versioned
interface for source packages, where each API level provides specific
behaviors and guarantees.
These interfaces can then be adopted by packages in a gradual way,
and phased out more easily than with global behavior changes.
The declaration of this API level is done through
build-dependencies, in one of Build-Depends,
Build-Depends-Indep or Build-Depends-Arch, or via the
environment variable DPKG_BUILD_API, which will override these if
both are present, and might emit a warning in case they are different.
- v2
- This level is still under development, and cannot be declared via
build-dependencies.
- v1
- This is the recommended level. Since dpkg 1.22.0.
Changes from v0 are:
- dpkg-shlibdeps no longer uses the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable. The -l option should be used instead.
- dpkg-buildpackage defaults to Rules-Requires-Root value
no. To restore the v0 behavior Rules-Requires-Root
should be set to binary-targets.
- dpkg-buildpackage expects all required debian/rules targets
to be supported and no longer has backwards compatibility fallback code.
The required targets are clean, build, build-indep,
build-arch, binary-indep and binary-arch.
- vendor.mk defaults to using dpkg_vendor_derives_from_v1 for
the dpkg_vendor_derives_from macro. To restore the v0
behavior set dpkg_vendor_derives_from to
dpkg_vendor_derives_from_v0.
- default.mk defaults to including buildtools.mk.
- v0
- This is the current global level, equivalent to not specifying one. The
interfaces and behaviors provided are subject to the normal global
interface updates, which tend to require longer deprecation cycles and/or
coordinated transitions.
