dbp-importdsc1

Usage

Overview

dbp-importdsc imports a Debian source package into a darcs-buildpackage archive, notes the package version in the configs, and commits the change. All information, including package name, version, Debian diffs, and upstream source, is automatically detected from the source package.

This program will automatically detect if the upstream sources have already been imported, and if so, will not attempt to re-import them again.

It is an error to run dbp-importdsc on a package whose Debian version already exists in the archive. It is also an error to run dbp-importdsc on a package when a newer version already exists in the archive. dbp-importdsc detects both conditions and will terminate without causing harm.

Options

dsc_name

Gives the path to the Debian .dsc file from the source package.

Files

~/.darcs-buildpackage

Environment
