tbp-importdsc1

Usage

Overview

tbp-importdsc imports a Debian source package into a tla-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 tbp-importdsc on a package whose Debian version already exists in the archive. It is also an error to run tbp-importdsc on a package when a newer version already exists in the archive. tbp-importdsc detects both conditions and will terminate without causing harm. However, this can be overridden by the --force-debian-version argument (see below).

Arguments

dsc_name

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

--tla-debian-version=VERSION

put the Debian sources into the tla version named VERSION. default: [package]--debian--1.0

--tla-debian-branch-from=REVISION

--tla-upstream-version=VERSION

put the upstream sources into the tla version named VERSION. default: [package]--head--1.0

--tla-upstream-branch-from=REVISION

branch the upstream sources from the tla revision named REVISION; if no patch level is specified, the latest revision from the given version will be used

--force-debian-version

import this version even if it is older than other Debian sources already imported.

--force-upstream-version

import this version even if it is older than other upstream sources already imported.

--force-version

force both the Debian and upstream versions.

Environment

The following environment variables are used by this application:

TBP_WC

Specifies the working copy area for tla-buildpackage to use for all build-related tasks, overriding the value in ~/.tla-buildpackage, if any.
