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.
