Subject: Building with sudo looses DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS

Date: Thu, 09 Sep 2010 18:54:20 +0200

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.64
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/debuild

Hi,

I have a package that supports DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. When I build it with

DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=foo debuild -rfakeroot

then everything works as expected. But when I build with

DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=foo debuild -rsudo

The binary target fails because DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS is unset.


It would be nice if debuild would preserve the environment across the
sudo call by seting the standard variables like DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS in
the call.

MfG
