6 cvs-debi - install cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package
7
9 cvs-debi [options] [package ...]
10
12 cvs-debi is run from the CVS working directory after cvs-buildpackage
13 or cvs-debuild. It uses the cvs-buildpackage system to locate the
14 .changes file generated in that run. It then runs debpkg -i on every
15 .deb archive listed in the .changes file to install them, assuming that
16 all of the .deb archives live in the same directory as the .changes
17 file. Note that you probably don't want to run this program on a
18 .changes file relating to a different architecture after cross-compil‐
19 ing the package!
20
21 If a list of packages is given on the command line, then only those
22 debs with names in this list of packages will be installed.
23
24 Note that unlike cvs-buildpackage, the only way to specify the source
25 package name is with the -P option; you cannot simply have it as the
26 last command-line parameter.
27
28 Since installing a package requires root privileges, debi calls debpkg
29 rather than dpkg directly. Thus debi will only be useful if it is
30 either being run as root or debpkg can be run as root. See debpkg(1)
31 for more details.
32
34 All current cvs-buildpackage options are silently accepted; however,
35 only the ones listed below have any effect. For more details on all of
36 them, see the cvs-buildpackage(1) manpage.
37
38 -adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
39 See dpkg-architecture(1) for a description of these options.
40 They affect the search for the .changes file. They are provided
41 to mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the
42 name of the .changes file.
43
44 -Mmodule
45 The name of the CVS module.
46
47 -Ppackage
48 The name of the package.
49
50 -Vversion
51 The version number of the package.
52
53 -Ttag The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.
54
55 -Rroot directory
56 Root of the original sources archive.
57
58 -Wwork directory
59 The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.
60
61 -xprefix
62 This option provides the CVS default module prefix.
63
64 --help, --version
65 Show help message and version information respectively.

68 cvs-buildpackage(1), cvs-debc(1), cvs-debuild(1), debi(1)

71 cvs-buildpackage was written by Manoj Srivastava, and the current ver‐
72 sion of debi was written by Julian Gilbey <jdg@debian.org>. They have
73 been combined into this program by Julian Gilbey.
