NAME

6       dput.cf - Debian package upload tool configuration file
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This manpage gives a brief overview of dput’s configuration file and
10       the available options in it. dput is a tool to upload Debian packages
11       to the archive.
12

FILES AND FORMAT

14       dput reads, in order, these files:
15
16        1. /etc/dput.cf
17
18        2. ~/.dput.cf
19
20        3. The file supplied via command line argument
21
22       By default all configuration file locations are parsed, and overlaid in
23       a additive manner. This way both, entire profiles and actual settings
24       within a profile is inherited from any parent location defining a key
25       within the current scope.
26
27       dput.cf consists of different groups of configuration options, one for
28       each host where you want to be able to upload packages. Hosts are
29       defined using an identifier header with a short name for the host,
30       enclosed in square brackets. Note that only if multiple such headers
31       are encountered in the configuration, only the group following the last
32       header is considered. This is done to avoid confusion when overriding a
33       global configuration file with a user-specific one. There’s a special
34       identifier, [DEFAULT], which holds default parameters for all the
35       hosts. The defaults can be overridden by redefining them again in each
36       host section.
37
38   SUPPORTED KEYS
39       These keys are supported in dput.cf files. For their meaning refer to
40       dput(5).
41
42       allow_dcut, allow_unsigned_uploads, allowed_distributions,
43       default_host_main, default_keyid, fqdn, distributions, hash, incoming,
44       method, login, passive_ftp, post_upload_command, pre_upload_command,
45       run_lintian.
46
47   UNSUPPORTED LEGACY KEYS
48       These keys known and understood to the original dput implementation are
49       not understood by dput-ng:
50
51       method
52           This command is mostly supported. However, there is no support for
53           the rsync method.
54
55       delayed
56           This key is not supported. Use the --delayed switch from the
57           command line, or set incoming to the actual delayed directory if
58           you really rely on this key.
59
60       run_dinstall
61           Not supported. Please submit a post-upload hook if you’d like to
62           run dinstall.
63
64       check_version
65           Not supported.
66
67       progress_indicator
68           Not supported yet.
69
70       scp_compress
71           SCP compression is enabled by default. This is, however not
72           configurable currently.
73
74       ssh_config_options
75           Not supported. Please switch to the sftp method which supports your
76           options from ssh_config(5) natively.
77
78   UNSUPPORTED KEYS
79       These keys are not supported in old-style configuration files. However,
80       their values are inherited from their new-style defaults. See dput(5)
81       for details:
82
83       default_keyid, hooks, interface, meta, full_upload_log.

98       code, but was heavily inspired by its behavior. Much appreciated.
