dpt-rename-uploader(1) Debian Perl packaging Tools dpt-rename-uploader(1)

NAME

dpt-rename-uploader - handle maintainer email changes

SYNOPSIS

dpt rename-uploader full name old email new email

To be run from git/packages directory.

DESCRIPTION

dpt rename-uploader walks over all package directories and changes any occurrences of author's old email address in debian/control and debian/copyright with their new email address. It is handy when an uploader became a Debian Developer and wants to use their me@debian.org address.

A suitable entry is added to debian/changelog, but nothing is committed.

Repositories with uncommitted changes are not touched and a warning is issued.
