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.
