tbp-markdeb(1)

tbp-markdeb1

Mark the debian version of the working directory in archive

Usage

tbp-markdeb [options]

Overview

tbp-markdeb is used to tell tla-buildpackage that the version of a package represented in the current working directory is "official". The program will find the Debian version from debian/changelog and record it as appropriate. No input is required and no arguments are required. tbp-markdeb will abort if it is run more than once for a single Debian version, unless overridden with the --force-version option (see below).

Options

--force-version

mark this Debian version even if it is already marked in the archive

-h, --help

display the help message and exit.

-v, --version

display version info and exit.
