NAME

6       cvs-debrelease  - upload a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated pack‐
7       age

SYNOPSIS

10       cvs-debrelease   [cvs-debrelease   options]   [--dopts    [dupload/dput
11       options]]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       cvs-debrelease  is  run from the CVS working directory after cvs-build‐
15       package or cvs-debuild.  It uses the cvs-buildpackage system to  locate
16       the  .changes  file generated in that run.  It then uploads the package
17       using debrelease(1), which in turn calls either dupload or dput.   Note
18       that the --dopts option must be specified to distinguish the cvs-debre‐
19       lease options from the dupload or dput options.  Also,  the  devscripts
20       configuration  files  will  be  read, as described in the debrelease(1)
21       manpage.
22
23       Note that unlike cvs-buildpackage, the only way to specify  the  source
24       package  name  is  with the -P option; you cannot simply have it as the
25       last command-line parameter.
26

OPTIONS

28       All current cvs-buildpackage options are  silently  accepted;  however,
29       only the ones listed below have any effect.  For more details on all of
30       them, see the cvs-buildpackage(1) manpage.  All debrelease options  (as
31       listed below) are also accepted.
32
33       --dupload, --dput
34              This  specifies  which  uploader  program to use; the default is
35              dupload.
36
37       -adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
38              See dpkg-architecture(1) for a  description  of  these  options.
39              They affect the search for the .changes file.  They are provided
40              to mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the
41              name of the .changes file.
42
43       -Mmodule
44              The name of the CVS module.
45
46       -Ppackage
47              The name of the package.
48
49       -Vversion
50              The version number of the package.
51
52       -Ttag  The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.
53
54       -Rroot directory
55              Root of the original sources archive.
56
57       -Wwork directory
58              The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.
59
60       -xprefix
61              This option provides the CVS default module prefix.
62
63       --no-conf, --noconf
64              Do  not  read any configuration files.  This can only be used as
65              the first option given on the command-line.
66
67       --help, --version
68              Show help message and version information respectively.
