CVS-DEBC(1)
NAME
cvs-debrelease - upload a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package
SYNOPSIS
cvs-debrelease [cvs-debrelease options] [--dopts [dupload/dput options]]
DESCRIPTION
cvs-debrelease is run from the CVS working directory after cvs-buildpackage or cvs-debuild. It uses the cvs-buildpackage system to locate
the .changes file generated in that run. It then uploads the package
using debrelease(1), which in turn calls either dupload or dput. Note
that the --dopts option must be specified to distinguish the cvs-debrelease options from the dupload or dput options. Also, the devscripts
configuration files will be read, as described in the debrelease(1)
manpage.
Note that unlike cvs-buildpackage, the only way to specify the source
package name is with the -P option; you cannot simply have it as the
last command-line parameter.
OPTIONS
All current cvs-buildpackage options are silently accepted; however,
only the ones listed below have any effect. For more details on all of
them, see the cvs-buildpackage(1) manpage. All debrelease options (as
listed below) are also accepted.
- --dupload, --dput
- This specifies which uploader program to use; the default is dupload.
- -adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
- See dpkg-architecture(1) for a description of these options. They affect the search for the .changes file. They are provided to mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the name of the .changes file.
- -M<module>
- The name of the CVS module.
- -P<package>
- The name of the package.
- -V<version>
- The version number of the package.
- -T<tag>
- The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.
- -R<root directory>
- Root of the original sources archive.
- -W<work directory>
- The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.
- -x<prefix>
- This option provides the CVS default module prefix.
- --no-conf, --noconf
- Do not read any configuration files. This can only be used as the first option given on the command-line.
- --help, --version
- Show help message and version information respectively.
