DESCRIPTION

   The  gbp.conf  configuration  files  provide default global options and
   specific options for individual gbp commands.  All files have the  same
   format as described below and are parsed in the above order from top to
   bottom with increasing precedence.

   Each file consists of either zero or one default section, and  zero  or
   one  sections  for  each  gbp  command.  Additionally,  there can be an
   arbitrary number of remote-config sections.  Comments start with a hash
   sign (#). The overall layout is:

       [DEFAULT]
       # This section is for global settings. Affects all commands.
       # Options set here have the lowest priority.
       key = value

       [<command>]
       # Specific sections for each command, like buildpackage
       # Options set here have lower priority than command line options
       key = value

       [remote-config <name>]
       # Specific sections for a remote configuration. This can be used several
       # times to set up remote configuration for gbp create-remote-repo
       key = value

   The  sections for each command are named like the command (without gbp)
   surrounded by square brackets  (e.g.  [buildpackage]).   For  backwards
   compatibility,  command  sections  starting  with git- or gbp- are also
   supported but will provoke a warning when parsed by gbp.

   The keys in the key=value pairs are named like the command-line options
   of  the corresponding command (with the '--' stripped off) and can hold
   the same values, but see below for details. In case of gbp buildpackage
   and  gbp  buildpackage-rpm  the  key  needs  '--git-'  instead  of '--'
   stripped off.

   For example, the gbp-buildpackage(1)> manual page documents the  --git-
   export-dir=directory option which can be turned into configuration file
   setting by dropping the --git- prefix:

       [buildpackage]
       export-dir = directory

   Options that can be repeated on the command line take Python-like lists
   in  the  config  file. For example, the gbp-import-orig(1)> command has
   the --filter=pattern option which can be turned  into  a  configuration
   file option like this:

       [import-orig]
       filter = [ '.svn', '.hg' ]

   Boolean  options  can be either True or False. For example, gbp-import-
   orig(1)> has the --pristine-tar  and  --no-pristine-tar  options  which
   translate to:

       [import-orig]
       pristine-tar = True

   and

       [import-orig]
       pristine-tar = False

   respectively.

          Note:  To  see  the  current set of values that would be applied
          after parsing the configuration files, use gbp-config(1)>.

          Note: gbp import-dscs and git-pbuilder can't be  configured  via
          gbp.conf.

   gbp-create-remote-repo(1)>   can   additionally   parse   remote   site
   configurations from gbp.conf. For example, a configuration like:

   [remote-config pkg-libvirt]
   # Location of the repository
   remote-url-pattern = ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-libvirt/%(pkg)s
   # Template dir to passed to git-init
   template-dir = /srv/alioth.debian.org/chroot/home/groups/pkg-libvirt/git-template

   can be used to create remote repositories for the  pkg-libvirt  project
   using:

   gbp-create-remote-repo --remote-config=pkg-libvirt

   This can be useful if you're often creating new remote repositories for
   different projects.

EXAMPLES

   An example set up for packaging work:

    # $HOME/.gbp.conf

    [DEFAULT]
    pristine-tar = True
    cleaner = fakeroot debian/rules clean

    [buildpackage]
    export-dir  = ../build-area/

    [import-orig]
    dch = False
    filter = [
           '.svn',
           '.hg',
           '.bzr',
           'CVS',
           'debian/*',
           '*/debian/*'
           ]
    filter-pristine-tar = True

    [import-dsc]
    filter = [
           'CVS',
           '.cvsignore',
           '.hg',
           '.hgignore'
           '.bzr',
           '.bzrignore',
           '.gitignore'
           ]

    # End of file

ENVIRONMENT

   GBP_CONF_FILES
          Colon separated list of files to parse. The default is the above
          list of configuration files.

   GBP_DISABLE_SECTION_DEPRECTATION
          Don't  print a deprecation warning when gbp encounters a section
          starting with git- or gbp-.
