--build=type
Specifies the build type from a comma-separated list of
components (since dpkg 1.18.5).
The allowed values are:
source Upload the source package.
any Upload the architecture specific binary packages.
all Upload the architecture independent binary
packages.
binary Upload the architecture specific and independent
binary packages. This is an alias for any,all.
full Upload everything. This is alias for
source,any,all, and the same as the default case
when no build option is specified.
-g Equivalent to --build=source,all (since dpkg 1.17.11).
-G Equivalent to --build=source,any (since dpkg 1.17.11).
-b Equivalent to --build=binary or --build=any,all.
-B Equivalent to --build=any.
-A Equivalent to --build=all.
-S Equivalent to --build=source.
The -sx options control whether the original source archive is
included in the upload if any source is being generated (i.e. -b
or -B haven't been used).
-si By default, or if specified, the original source will be
included only if the upstream version number (the version
without epoch and without Debian revision) differs from
the upstream version number of the previous changelog
entry.
-sa Forces the inclusion of the original source.
-sd Forces the exclusion of the original source and includes
only the diff.
-vversion
Causes changelog information from all versions strictly
later than version to be used.
-Cchanges-description
Read the description of the changes from the file changes-
description rather than using the information from the
source tree's changelog file.
-mmaintainer-address
Use maintainer-address as the name and email address of
the maintainer for this package, rather than using the
information from the source tree's control file.
-emaintainer-address
Use maintainer-address as the name and email address of
the maintainer for this upload, rather than using the
information from the source tree's changelog.
-Vname=value
Set an output substitution variable. See deb-substvars(5)
for a discussion of output substitution.
-Tsubstvars-file
Read substitution variables in substvars-file; the default
is debian/substvars. No variable substitution is done on
any of the fields that are output, except for the contents
extracted from each binary package Description field
(since dpkg 1.19.0), however the special variable Format
will override the field of the same name. This option can
be used multiple times to read substitution variables from
multiple files (since dpkg 1.15.6).
-Dfield=value
Override or add an output control file field.
-Ufield
Remove an output control file field.
-ccontrolfile
Specifies the main source control file to read information
from. The default is debian/control.
-lchangelog-file
Specifies the changelog file to read information from. The
default is debian/changelog.
-ffiles-list-file
Read the list of files to be uploaded here, rather than
using debian/files.
-Fchangelog-format
Specifies the format of the changelog. See
dpkg-parsechangelog(1) for information about alternative
formats.
-uupload-files-dir
Look for the files to be uploaded in upload-files-dir
rather than .. (dpkg-genchanges needs to find these files
so that it can include their sizes and checksums in the
.changes file).
-q Usually dpkg-genchanges will produce informative messages
on standard error, for example about how many of the
package's source files are being uploaded. -q suppresses
these messages.
-O[filename]
Print the changes file to standard output (the default) or
to filename if specified (since dpkg 1.18.5).
-?, --help
Show the usage message and exit.
--version
Show the version and exit.
