6 dput.cf - Debian package upload tool configuration file
7
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
14 dput reads, in order, these files:
15 1. /etc/dput.cf
17 2. ~/.dput.cf
19 3. The file supplied via command line argument
21 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 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 SUPPORTED KEYS
39 These keys are supported in dput.cf files. For their meaning refer to
40 dput(5).
41 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 UNSUPPORTED LEGACY KEYS
48 These keys known and understood to the original dput implementation are
49 not understood by dput-ng:
50 method
52 This command is mostly supported. However, there is no support for
53 the rsync method.
54 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 run_dinstall
61 Not supported. Please submit a post-upload hook if you’d like to
62 run dinstall.
63 check_version
65 Not supported.
66 progress_indicator
68 Not supported yet.
69 scp_compress
71 SCP compression is enabled by default. This is, however not
72 configurable currently.
73 ssh_config_options
75 Not supported. Please switch to the sftp method which supports your
76 options from ssh_config(5) natively.
77 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 default_keyid, hooks, interface, meta, full_upload_log.

96 dput was originally written by Christian Kurz. Updated by Thomas
97 Viehmann <tv@beamnet.de>. dput-ng does not re-use notable portions of
98 code, but was heavily inspired by its behavior. Much appreciated.
99 dput-ng was originally written by Arno Töll <arno(a)debian.org> and
