DESCRIPTION
The gbp.conf configuration files provide default global options and specific options for individual gbp commands. All files have the same format as described below and are parsed in the above order from top to bottom with increasing precedence. Non existing files will be skipped.
Each file consists of either zero or one default section, and zero or one sections for each gbp command. Additionally, there can be an arbitrary number of remote-config sections. Comments start with a hash sign (#). The overall layout is:
[DEFAULT]
# This section is for global settings. Affects all commands.
# Options set here have the lowest priority.
key = value
[<command>]
# Specific sections for each command, like
buildpackage
# Options set here have lower priority than command line
options
key = value
[remote-config
<name>]
# Specific sections for a remote configuration. This can be
used several
# times to set up remote configuration for gbp
create-remote-repo
key = value
The sections for each command are named like the command (without gbp) surrounded by square brackets (e.g. [buildpackage]). For backwards compatibility, command sections starting with git- or gbp- are also supported but will provoke a warning when parsed by gbp.
The keys in the key=value pairs are named like the command-line options of the corresponding command (with the ’--’ stripped off) and can hold the same values, but see below for details. In case of gbp buildpackage and gbp buildpackage-rpm the key needs ’--git-’ instead of ’--’ stripped off.
For example, the gbp-buildpackage(1) manual page documents the --git-export-dir=directory option which can be turned into configuration file setting by dropping the --git- prefix:
[buildpackage]
export-dir = directory
Options that can be repeated on the command line take Python-like lists in the config file. For example, the gbp-import-orig(1) command has the --filter=pattern option which can be turned into a configuration file option like this:
[import-orig]
filter = [ ’.svn’, ’.hg’ ]
Boolean options can be either True or False. For example, gbp-import-orig(1) has the --pristine-tar and --no-pristine-tar options which translate to:
[import-orig]
pristine-tar = True
and
[import-orig]
pristine-tar = False
respectively.
REMOTE SITE
CONFIGURATION
gbp-create-remote-repo(1) can additionally parse remote
site configurations from gbp.conf. For example, a
configuration like:
[remote-config
pkg-libvirt]
# Location of the repository
remote-url-pattern =
ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-libvirt/%(pkg)s
# Template dir to passed to git-init
template-dir =
/srv/alioth.debian.org/chroot/home/groups/pkg-libvirt/git-template
can be used to create remote repositories for the pkg-libvirt project using:
gbp-create-remote-repo --remote-config=pkg-libvirt
This can be useful if you’re often creating new remote repositories for different projects.
NOTES
Note
To see the
current set of values that would be applied after parsing
the configuration files, use gbp-config(1).
Note
gbp import-dscs and git-pbuilder can’t be configured via gbp.conf.
EXAMPLES
An example set up for packaging work:
# $HOME/.gbp.conf
[DEFAULT]
pristine-tar = True
cleaner = fakeroot debian/rules clean
[buildpackage]
export-dir = ../build-area/
[import-orig]
dch = False
filter = [
’.svn’,
’.hg’,
’.bzr’,
’CVS’,
’debian/*’,
’*/debian/*’
]
filter-pristine-tar = True
[import-dsc]
filter = [
’CVS’,
’.cvsignore’,
’.hg’,
’.hgignore’
’.bzr’,
’.bzrignore’,
’.gitignore’
]
# End of file
ENVIRONMENT
The following
environment variables can be used to modify
gbp’s configuration file handling:
GBP_CONF_FILES
A colon separated list of configuration files to parse. If unset or empty the default list of files is parsed (see above).
GBP_DISABLE_SECTION_DEPRECATION
When set to a non-empty value don’t print a deprecation warning in case gbp encounters a section starting with git- or gbp-.
GBP_DISABLE_GBP_CONF_DEPRECATION
When set to a non-empty value don’t print a deprecation warning in case gbp encounters a configuration file in a deprecated location.
FILES
See /etc/git-buildpackage/gbp.conf for an example.
