Package: devscripts
Version: 2.8.14
When I do:
$ debuild -nc --preserve-envvar PATH
I see:
dpkg-buildpackage: unknown option or argument --preserve-envvar
Debian dpkg-buildpackage .

The manual says:
The only way to prevent PATH from being reset is to specify a
--preserve-envvar PATH option.
(I want to use ccache and distcc to speed package building, so want to
pass these environment variables:
PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:$PATH
MAKEFLAGS=-j17
DISTCC_HOSTS="localhost/1 tutti/8 eisbock/8"
CCACHE_PREFIX=distcc
I have DEBUILD_PRESERVE_ENV=yes in the environment as well. The full
invocation is:
env PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:$PATH MAKEFLAGS=-j17 \
DISTCC_HOSTS="localhost/1 tutti/8 eisbock/8" \
CCACHE_PREFIX=distcc debuild -nc --preserve-envvar PATH
in the xfree86 tree
Without -nc it seems to work.
