+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+ <para>
+ The <filename>gbp.conf</filename> 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.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ 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
+ <option>remote-config</option> sections. Comments start with a
+ hash sign (<option>#</option>). The overall layout is:
+ </para>
+<programlisting>
+ [DEFAULT]
+ # This section is for global settings. Affects all commands.
+ # Options set here have the lowest priority.
+ key = value
+
+ [&lt;command&gt;]
+ # Specific sections for each command, like <command>buildpackage</command>
+ # Options set here have lower priority than command line options
+ key = value
+
+ [remote-config &lt;name&gt;]
+ # Specific sections for a remote configuration. This can be used several
+ # times to set up remote configuration for <command>gbp create-remote-repo</command>
+ key = value
+</programlisting>
+<para>
+ The sections for each command are named like the command (without &gbp;) surrounded
+ by square brackets (e.g. <option>[buildpackage]</option>).
+ For backwards compatibility, command sections starting with <filename>git-</filename> or
+ <filename>gbp-</filename> are also supported but will provoke a warning when parsed by
+ &gbp;.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+ The keys in the
+ <option>key</option>=<parameter>value</parameter> 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.
+</para>
+<para>
+ For example,
+ the <xref linkend="man.gbp.buildpackage"/ manual page documents
+ the <option>--git-export-dir</option>=<parameter>directory</parameter>
+ option which can be turned into configuration file setting by
+ dropping the
+ <option>--git-</option> prefix:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ [buildpackage]
+ export-dir = directory
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+ Options that can be repeated on the command line take Python-like
+ lists in the config file. For example,
+ the <xref linkend="man.gbp.import.orig"/ command has the
+ <option>--filter</option>=<parameter>pattern</parameter> option
+ which can be turned into a configuration file option like this:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ [import-orig]
+ filter = [ '.svn', '.hg' ]
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+Boolean options can be either <option>True</option> or <option>False</option>. For example,
+<xref linkend="man.gbp.import.orig"/ has the <option>--pristine-tar</option> and
+<option>--no-pristine-tar</option> options which translate to:
+</para>
+<programlisting>
+ [import-orig]
+ pristine-tar = True
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>and</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+ [import-orig]
+ pristine-tar = False
+</programlisting>
+<para>respectively.</para>
+<note>
+<para>
+ To see the current set of values that would be applied after parsing the
+ configuration files, use <xref linkend="man.gbp.config"/.
+</para>
+</note>
+<note>
+<para>
+ <command>gbp import-dscs</command> and <command>git-pbuilder</command>
+can't be configured via <filename>gbp.conf</filename>.
+</para>
+</note>
+
+<para>
+<xref linkend="man.gbp.create.remote.repo"/ can additionally parse remote site
+configurations from <filename>gbp.conf</filename>. For example, a configuration like:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+[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
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+can be used to create remote repositories for the pkg-libvirt project using:
+</para>
+
+<programlisting>
+gbp-create-remote-repo --remote-config=pkg-libvirt
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>
+This can be useful if you're often creating new remote repositories for
+different projects.
