NAME
build-rdeps - find packages that depend on a specific package to build (reverse build depends) SYNOPSIS
build-rdeps package DESCRIPTION
build-rdeps searches for all packages that build-depend on the specified package. OPTIONS
-u, --update Run apt-get update before searching for build-depends. -s, --sudo Use sudo when running apt-get update. Has no effect if -u is omitted. --distribution Select another distribution, which is searched for build-depends. --only-main Ignore contrib and non-free --exclude-component Ignore the given component (e.g. main, contrib, non-free). --origin Restrict the search to only the specified origin (such as "Debian"). -m, --print-maintainer Print the value of the maintainer field for each package. -d, --debug Run the debug mode --help Show the usage information. --version Show the version information. REQUIREMENTS
The tool requires apt Sources files to be around for the checked components. In the default case this means that in /var/lib/apt/lists files need to be around for main, contrib and non-free. In practice this means one needs to add one deb-src line for each component, e.g. deb-src http://<mirror>/debian <dist> main contrib non-free and run apt-get update afterwards or use the update option of this tool.

NAME
mk-build-deps - build a package satisfying a package's build-dependencies SYNOPSIS
mk-build-deps --help|--version mk-build-deps [options] control file | package name ... DESCRIPTION
Given a package name and/or control file, mk-build-deps will use equivs to generate a binary package which may be installed to satisfy all the build dependencies of the given package. If --build-dep and/or --build-indep are given, then the resulting binary package(s) will depend solely on the Build-Depends/Build-Depends-Indep dependencies, respectively. OPTIONS
-i, --install Install the generated packages and its build-dependencies. -t, --tool When installing the generated package use the specified tool. (default: apt-get --no-install-recommends) -r, --remove Remove the package file after installing it. Ignored if used without the --install switch. -a foo, --arch foo If the source package has architecture-specific build dependencies, produce a package for architecture foo, not for the system architecture. (If the source package does not have architecture-specific build dependencies, the package produced is always for the pseudo-architecture all.) -B, --build-dep Generate a package which only depends on the source package's Build-Depends dependencies. -A, --build-indep Generate a package which only depends on the source package's Build-Depends-Indep dependencies. -h, --help Show a summary of options. -v, --version Show version and copyright information. -s, --root-cmd Use the specified tool to gain root privileges before installing. Ignored if used without the --install switch. AUTHOR
