hg-importdsc(1)
NAME
hg-importdsc - Import a Debian source package into hg-buildpackage
archive
SYNOPSIS
hg-importdsc dsc_name
DESCRIPTION
hg-importdsc imports a Debian source package into an hg-buildpackage
archive, notes the package version in the configs, and commits the
change. All information, including package name, version, Debian
diffs, and upstream source, is automatically detected from the source
package.
This program will automatically detect if the upstream sources have
already been imported, and if so, will not attempt to re-import them
again.
It is an error to run hg-importdsc on a package whose Debian version
already exists in the archive. It is also an error to run hg-importdsc
on a package when a newer version already exists in the archive. hgimportdsc detects both conditions and will terminate without causing
harm.
OPTIONS
- dsc_name
- Gives the path to the Debian .dsc file from the source package.
BUGS
- o Neither GPG signatures nor MD5 sums are verified when unpacking
- Debian source packages.
ENVIRONMENT
This application uses no environment variables directly, but other programs it calls may do so.
