NAME
dbp-importdsc - Import a Debian source package into darcs-buildpackage
archive
SYNOPSIS
dbp-importdsc dsc_name
DESCRIPTION
dbp-importdsc imports a Debian source package into a darcs-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 dbp-importdsc on a package whose Debian version
already exists in the archive. It is also an error to run dbp-
importdsc on a package when a newer version already exists in the
archive. dbp-importdsc 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.
o This program does not deal well with Debian native packages (ones
that lack a Debian diff.gz). It will probably work, but building the
package later might result in a non-native package.
FILES
The following specific files are used by this application:
~/.darcs-buildpackage
Specifies the location of the canonical Debian and upstream
repositories.
ENVIRONMENT
This application uses no environment variables directly, but other
programs it calls may do so.
