NAME

       submittodebian - submit changes in Debian source tree to Debian

SYNOPSIS

       submittodebian

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the submittodebian command.

       submittodebian  was  created  to  help  bridge a gap between Debian and
       Ubuntu, namely by making it trivially easy to submit your changes to  a
       Debian package to the Debian bug tracking system.

       It  expects  to find the .dsc and diff.gz of the current version (which
       you likely just created) and the previous one in the parent  directory.
       By  examining debian/changelog it will extract the information it needs
       to:

       1. Extract the debdiff containing your changes.

       2. Open the debdiff in your $EDITOR so that you can remove  any  Ubuntu
       specific changes.

       3.  Extract  your  changelog  entry so that you can create a bug report
       from it.

       4. Start reportbug with the debdiff attached and with the text  of  the
       changelog entry.
