NAME

       dbp-importorig  -  Import  an upstream source into a darcs-buildpackage
       archive

SYNOPSIS

       dbp-importorig filename_or_dir package version

DESCRIPTION

       dbp-importorig  imports  the  tar.gz  file  given  by  filename  (or  a
       directory,  if  filename  is  one) into the darcs-buildpackage archive.
       Since  upstream  tarballs  do  not  contain  the  package  and  version
       information  in  a unified format, you must specify that on the command
       line as well.

       It is an error to run dbp-importorig on a package when a newer  version
       already  exists  in the archive.  dbp-importorig detects this condition
       and will terminate without causing harm.

OPTIONS

       filename_or_dir
              Gives the path to a tar.gz file to import.

              Alternatively, gives the path to a directory to  import  without
              unpacking anything.

       package
              Gives  the  Debian  source  package  name  corresponding to this
              upstream package.

       version
              Gives  the  package  version  corresponding  to  this   upstream
              package.  This should not contain the Debian part (-1, -2, etc).

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.
