DEVSCRIPTS.CONF

2302.

devscripts.conf - configuration file for the devscripts package

2303.

The B<devscripts> package provides a collection of scripts which may be of use to Debian developers and others wishing to build Debian packages. Many of these have options which can be configured on a system-wide and per-user basis.

2304.

Every script in the B<devscripts> package which makes use of values from these configuration files describes the specific settings recognised in its own manpage. (For a list of the scripts, either see I</usr/share/doc/devscripts/README.gz> or look at the output of I<dpkg -L devscripts | grep /usr/bin>.)

2305.

The two configuration files are I</etc/devscripts.conf> for system-wide defaults and I<~/.devscripts> for per-user settings. They are written with B<bash>(1) syntax, but should only have comments and simple variable assignments in them; they are both sourced (if present) by many of the B<devscripts> scripts. Variables corresponding to simple switches should have one of the values I<yes> and I<no>; any other setting is regarded as equivalent to the default setting.

2306.

All variable names are written in uppercase, and begin with the script name. Package-wide variables begin with "DEVSCRIPTS", and are listed below, as well as in the relevant manpages.

2307.

For a list of all of the available options variables, along with their default settings, see the example configuration file I</usr/share/doc/devscripts/devscripts.conf.ex>. This is copied to I</etc/devscripts.conf> when the B<devscripts> package is first installed. Information about configuration options introduced in newer versions of the package will be appended to I</etc/devscripts.conf> when the package is upgraded.

2308.

Every script which reads the configuration files can be forced to ignore them by using B<--no-conf> as the I<first> command-line option.
