Upgrade source package from a new upstream revision
svn-upgrade newsource [options]
svn-upgrade modifies a Debian package source located in a Subversion repository, upgrading it to a new upstream release. The repository filesystem tree must be in the format created by svn-inject.
svn-upgrade accepts the following options on the command-line:
-V STRING | --version STRING
Forces a different upstream version string
Default: Off.
-c | --clean
Runs make clean and removes the debian/ directory in the new source.
Default: Off.
-P STRING | --packagename STRING
Forces a different package name
Default: Off.
-v | --verbose
More verbose program output
Default: Off.
-r | --replay-conflicting
Extra cleanup run: replaces all conflicting files with upstream versions. Review of svn status output before doing that could make sense.
Default: Off.
-N | --noautodch
Upgrade without making a new changelog entry.
Default: Make the changelog entry.
-u | --uscan
Use uscan to download the new version.
--noninteractive
Turn off interactive mode.
--ignoreerrors
In noninteractive mode, ignore errors.
--ignored-files-action STRING
Make files that are ignored due to subversion ignore patterns to be 'import'ed or 'skip'ed.
-e | --auto-epoch
Automatically increase version epoch if the new upstream version is not greater than the current.
--debclean
Run debclean before merging the new upstream source.
Tarballs must be compressed with gzip or bzip2.
