NAME

6       cvs-debi - install cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package
7

SYNOPSIS

9       cvs-debi [options] [package ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

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.

OPTIONS

34       All current cvs-buildpackage options are  silently  accepted;  however,

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.
