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.
