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.
