How to use debuild hooks (--signing-hook-foo etc) The man page isn't clear on that. How would I use a signing hook? Especially using the parameter without the config file. What is the meaning of `foo` in the documentation? For example in `--signing-hook-foo`? Do I replace `foo` with my bash script? The would seem very odd and against all conventions that I know. For example, would this be the way you are supposed to use it? echo "#!/usr/bin/env bash" > /signing-hook-script.sh echo "(pwd; ls -la; tree /) > /output.txt" >> /signing-hook-script.sh chmod +x /signing-hook-script.sh debuild -i -S --signing-hook-/signing-hook-script.sh

Well spotted, the manpage is incorrect. `debuild --help` shows the appropriate syntax:


--dpkg-buildpackage-hook=HOOK
--clean-hook=HOOK
--dpkg-source-hook=HOOK
--build-hook=HOOK
--binary-hook=HOOK
--dpkg-genchanges-hook=HOOK
--final-clean-hook=HOOK
--lintian-hook=HOOK
--signing-hook=HOOK
--post-dpkg-buildpackage-hook=HOOK
These hooks run at the various stages of the
dpkg-buildpackage run. For details, see the
debuild manpage. They default to nothing, and
can be reset to nothing with --foo-hook=''


So your example would be


debuild --signing-hook=/signing-hook-script.sh -i -S


(`debuild` options must be specified before `dpkg-buildpackage` options).
