NAME¶

dch-repeat - repeats a changelog entry into an older release

SYNOPSIS¶

dch-repeat --build-tree <PATH>

dch-repeat --target-release <RELEASE>
dch-repeat --devel-release <RELEASE>
dch-repeat --pocket <POCKET>

DESCRIPTION¶

dch-repeat is used to repeat a changelog into an older release. It expects that --build-tree is laid out with each Ubuntu release as a separate directory ("feisty", "edgy", etc).

For example, if gimp had a security update prepared for Feisty in $TREE/feisty/gimp-2.2.13, running dch-repeat in $TREE/edgy/gimp-2.2.13 would pull in the latest changelog from the Feisty build.
