Sorry for a confusing example. I tried DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="debug,nostrip" && debuild
and it didn't work. I did some RTFM and found in debuild(1): > ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES > As environment variables can affect the building of a > package, often unintentionally, debuild sanitises the > environment by removing all environment variables except > for TERM, HOME, LOGNAME, GNUPGHOME, PGPPASS, PGPPATH, > FAKEROOTKEY, DEB_* and the locale variables LANG and LC_*. > TERM is set to `dumb' if it is unset, and PATH is set to > "/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11". I missed "DEB_*" and drew a wrong conclusion, that is, debuild reset DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. It is right to say that DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="debug,nostrip" && debuild won't work, but it is pointless. The comment is already removed from my debian/rules. -- Oohara Yuuma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Graduate-school of Science, Kyoto University PGP key (key ID F464A695) http://www.interq.or.jp/libra/oohara/pub-key.txt Key fingerprint = 6142 8D07 9C5B 159B C170 1F4A 40D6 F42E F464 A695 I always put away what I take. --- Ryuji Akai, "Star away"
