cvs-debi(1)


NAME

   cvs-debi - install cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

SYNOPSIS

   cvs-debi [options] [package ...]

DESCRIPTION

   cvs-debi  is  run from the CVS working directory after cvs-buildpackage
   or cvs-debuild.  It uses the  cvs-buildpackage  system  to  locate  the
   .changes  file  generated in that run.  It then runs debpkg -i on every
   .deb archive listed in the .changes file to install them, assuming that
   all  of  the  .deb  archives live in the same directory as the .changes
   file.  Note that you probably don't want  to  run  this  program  on  a
   .changes  file  relating  to  a  different  architecture  after  cross-
   compiling the package!

   If a list of packages is given on the command  line,  then  only  those
   debs with names in this list of packages will be installed.

   Note  that  unlike cvs-buildpackage, the only way to specify the source
   package name is with the -P option; you cannot simply have  it  as  the
   last command-line parameter.

   Since  installing a package requires root privileges, debi calls debpkg
   rather than dpkg directly.  Thus debi will only  be  useful  if  it  is
   either  being  run as root or debpkg can be run as root.  See debpkg(1)
   for more details.

OPTIONS

   All current cvs-buildpackage options are  silently  accepted;  however,
   only the ones listed below have any effect.  For more details on all of
   them, see the cvs-buildpackage(1) manpage.

   -adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
          See dpkg-architecture(1) for a  description  of  these  options.
          They affect the search for the .changes file.  They are provided
          to mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the
          name of the .changes file.

   -Mmodule
          The name of the CVS module.

   -Ppackage
          The name of the package.

   -Vversion
          The version number of the package.

   -Ttag  The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.

   -Rroot directory
          Root of the original sources archive.

   -Wwork directory
          The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.

   -xprefix
          This option provides the CVS default module prefix.

   --help, --version
          Show help message and version information respectively.
