NAME
dput.cf - Debian package upload tool configuration file
DESCRIPTION
This manpage gives a brief overview of dput's configuration file and the available options in it. dput is a tool to upload Debian packages to the archive.
FILES AND FORMAT
dput reads, in order, these files:
1. /etc/dput.cf
2. ~/.dput.cf
3. The file supplied via command line argument
By default all configuration file locations are parsed, and overlaid in
a additive manner. This way both, entire profiles and actual settings
within a profile is inherited from any parent location defining a key
within the current scope.
dput.cf consists of different groups of configuration options, one for
each host where you want to be able to upload packages. Hosts are
defined using an identifier header with a short name for the host,
enclosed in square brackets. Note that only if multiple such headers
are encountered in the configuration, only the group following the last
header is considered. This is done to avoid confusion when overriding a
global configuration file with a user-specific one. There's a special
identifier, [DEFAULT], which holds default parameters for all the
hosts. The defaults can be overridden by redefining them again in each
host section.
SUPPORTED KEYS
These keys are supported in dput.cf files. For their meaning refer to
dput(5).
allow_dcut, allow_unsigned_uploads, allowed_distributions,
default_host_main, default_keyid, fqdn, distributions, hash, incoming,
method, login, passive_ftp, post_upload_command, pre_upload_command,
run_lintian.
UNSUPPORTED LEGACY KEYS
These keys known and understood to the original dput implementation are
not understood by dput-ng:
method
This command is mostly supported. However, there is no support for
the rsync method.
delayed
This key is not supported. Use the --delayed switch from the
command line, or set incoming to the actual delayed directory if
you really rely on this key.
run_dinstall
Not supported. Please submit a post-upload hook if you'd like to
run dinstall.
check_version
Not supported.
progress_indicator
Not supported yet.
scp_compress
SCP compression is enabled by default. This is, however not
configurable currently.
ssh_config_options
Not supported. Please switch to the sftp method which supports your
options from ssh_config(5) natively.
UNSUPPORTED KEYS
These keys are not supported in old-style configuration files. However,
their values are inherited from their new-style defaults. See dput(5)
for details:
default_keyid, hooks, interface, meta, full_upload_log.
BUGS
Please send bug reports to the author.
