<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>After a Debian package has been 'emdebianised' with
<command>em_make</command>, <command>emdebuild</command>
provides a convenient wrapper around dpkg-buildpackage.
</para>
<para><command>emdebuild</command> needs to be run in the source directory
of the package.</para>
<para>By default, <command>emdebuild</command> cross-builds the package
for the <command>dpkg-cross</command> default architecture.
Specify other architectures with <option>-a|--arch</option>. Ensure the current
toolchain is installed for the chosen architecture.
</para>
<note>
<title>running debian/rules alone is unsupported</title>
<para>There is no equivalent for the
<command>fakeroot debian/rules binary</command> type shorthand for a quick
rebuild of the package due to the needs of the cross-build.</para>

<para>Commit modifications to the emdebian patch files back to

be provided by unpacking the source with <command>emsource</command>.
The working copy must have been checked out with developer access.
<command>emsource</command> will use developer access if a valid
Emdebian SVN username is available.
</para>
<para>Note that the build log will need to be added to svn and

<listitem>
<para>Increment the emdebian version before building. Note that, in
most cases, it is advisable to edit <filename>debian/changelog</filename>
and add an explanatory message before uploading the built package.
<command>emdebuild</command> merely adds a very brief comment.</para>
<para>When building a package that has been updated upstream, the
<option>-n</option> option can be used to restore the effect of a
default Emdebian version if the <filename>emdebian-changelog.patch</filename>
could not be applied.

been checked out with developer access. <command>emsource</command> will

<para>Sign the changes file created by the underlying

changes files to be signed with an authorised GnuPG key. If
<filename>~/.devscripts</filename> is configured so that
<emphasis>DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS</emphasis> options specify
that <command>dpkg-buildpackage</command> should not sign the
changes file directly, this option can be used to call
<command>debsign</command> with the generated changes
file at the end of the build. Experience has shown that even when
<command>dpkg-buildpackage</command> is unable to sign the changes
file, running <command>debsign</command> directly succeeds.
