I build using gbp/cowbuilder and so I set these environment variables:
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="parallel=`nproc`" DH_VERBOSE=1 I was not previously aware of the distinction between -j and -J for dpkg-buildpackage. However, looking at the dpkg-buildpackage man page there does not appear to be a DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS setting to trigger the use of -J in place of -j. At least, that is the case on stretch. Is there an easy way (preferrably via environment variables) to achieve that? Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez
