Action Summary

This GitHub Action automates the process of building a Debian package from an upstream Git tag and a local debian/ directory. It handles the entire packaging lifecycle, including resolving build dependencies, running dpkg-buildpackage, checking with lintian, and collecting artifacts. The action is designed for packaging repositories that maintain only their own packaging files and configuration, without uploading packages to any external repository.

What’s Changed

[1.1.0] - 2026-08-26

Added

  • DEP-8 tests run after the build for any package shipping debian/tests/. A package without debian/tests/control is unaffected. Set dep8: "off" on build.yml, or DEP8: "off" on the action, to skip them.

Changed

  • The reusable build.yml now calls this repository’s own action instead of reimplementing the docker run.

Fixed

  • DBGSYM rejects a value it does not understand. It was compared against 1 alone, so DBGSYM=yes silently disabled the package it was written to enable. off and on are now accepted alongside 0 and 1.
