NAME

       dch-repeat - repeats a changelog entry into an older release

SYNOPSIS

       dch-repeat --build-tree <PATH>
       dch-repeat --source-release <RELEASE>

DESCRIPTION

       dch-repeat  is  used  to  repeat a changelog into an older release.  It
       expects that --build-tree is laid out with each  Ubuntu  release  as  a
       separate directory ("feisty", "edgy", etc).

       For  example,  if  gimp  had  a  security update prepared for Feisty in
       $TREE/feisty/gimp-2.2.13, running dch-repeat in  $TREE/edgy/gimp-2.2.13
       would pull in the latest changelog from the Feisty build.
