cvs-debrelease(1)


NAME

   cvs-debrelease   -   upload  a  cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild  generated
   package

SYNOPSIS

   cvs-debrelease   [cvs-debrelease   options]   [--dopts    [dupload/dput
   options]]

DESCRIPTION

   cvs-debrelease  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 uploads the
   package using debrelease(1), which in  turn  calls  either  dupload  or
   dput.   Note  that  the --dopts option must be specified to distinguish
   the cvs-debrelease options from the dupload or dput options.  Also, the
   devscripts  configuration  files  will  be  read,  as  described in the
   debrelease(1) manpage.

   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.

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.  All debrelease options  (as
   listed below) are also accepted.

   --dupload, --dput
          This  specifies  which  uploader  program to use; the default is
          dupload.

   -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.

   --no-conf, --noconf
          Do  not  read any configuration files.  This can only be used as
          the first option given on the command-line.

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