pkgmaintainermangler

NAME

pkgmaintainermangler - change the Debian Maintainer field in a binary package during the build

SYNOPSIS

pkgmaintainermangler directory

DESCRIPTION

pkgmaintainermangler adjusts the maintainer field in binary packages to match a set of rules defined in the pkgmaintainermangler configuration file, found at /etc/pkgbinarymangler/maintainermangler.conf.

The directory option tells pkgmaintainermangler where to find the build directory which contains DEBIAN/control, so it can mangle it appropriately. As pkgmaintainermangler is generally invoked from a dpkg-deb(1) wrapper, it will also accept dpkg-deb's command-line syntax, ignoring superfluous options.

By default, pkgmaintainermangler is inactive. To enable it, the enable option in the configuration file must be set to true.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

NO_PKG_MANGLE

If this variable is set to a nonempty value, then pkgmaintainermangler is disabled. This is most useful if source packages build nested binary packages as part of their build.
