NAME

       debpatch - Applies a patch to recreate a debian package.

SYNOPSIS

       debpatch [OPTION]... DELTA FROMFILE TOFILE
       debpatch [OPTION]... DELTA / TOFILE
       debpatch --info PATCH

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  is designed to apply a patch (DELTA) to a Debian package
       (FROMFILE) and create the  Debian  package  (TOFILE).   If  the  Debian
       package  (FROMFILE)  was installed in the host system and the .deb file
       is not available, then the argument (FROMFILE) may be   substituted  by
       the  keyword  /  : then debpatch will get the needed data from the host
       filesystem.

OPTIONS

       --info PATCH
              Write info on PATCH

       --no-md5
              do not verify MD5 info.

       -v     verbose (can be added multiple times).

       -d     print full traceback on  Python  errors;  save  useful  info  in
              temporary files in case that a delta fails.

       -k     keep temporary files (use for debugging).

       -A --accept-unsigned
              accept unsigned deltas.

       --gpg-home
              specify  a  different  home  for  GnuPG,  default  for  root  is
              /etc/debdelta/gnupg  while  for  other  users  is   unset.   See
