NAME¶
dcut - Debian archive command file upload toolSYNOPSIS¶
dcut [-h] [-d] [-c FILE] [-m MAINTAINER] [-k KEYID] [-O FILENAME] [-P] [-s] [-U FILENAME] [-i FILENAME] [-v] [ HOST] SUBCOMMAND ... dcut [OPTIONS] [HOST] SUBCOMMAND [SUB-COMMAND OPTIONS]DESCRIPTION¶
dcut can create and/or upload command files understood by the debian archive kit ("dak") software. It provides an extensible interface so that third party authors can easily integrate more sub-commands. Hence, your running instance of dcut may understand more commands than these documented here. Refer to the respective documentations for these commands. Similar to dput, a HOST can be specified as a target site for the command file. Likewise, the same default host selection criteria apply. It also parses the same configuration files described there. It should be noted that this does not support the same interface as the old dput binary. Please be sure to double-check scripts that depend on old-style dput’s interface.OPTIONS¶
-c, --config=FILEConfiguration file to parse.
-d, --debug
Enable debug messages. Repeat twice to increase the
verbosity level.
-f, --force
Bypass all sanity checks and upload the commands file as
is. Use with caution.
-m, --maintainer=MAINTAINER
Use MAINTAINER for the uploader field and GnuPG
key selection. Provide it as a full identity, that is in "J Uploader
<yourid@example.com>" format. This has no effect when the
upload command is used.
-k, --keyid=KEYID
Use KEYID as a key for signing. Default is to use
DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNAME, or whatever identity was provided with
--maintainer. This has no effect when the upload command is
used.
-O, --output=FILENAME
Write the resulting commands file to FILENAME
instead of uploading it. This option should not be used with the upload
command. The selected FILENAME wont be overwritten if it exists
already. This is very helpful for testing that things work correctly.
-P, --passive
Force FTP passive mode when uploading the package through
FTP. This option is deprecated - use profiles instead.
-s, --simulate
Simulate the upload only. This runs all pre-upload
checks, initializes the upload handler but does not actually store any
file.
-i, --input=FILENAME
Ignored silently for compatibility with old-style dput
command lines.
-v, --version
Print version information and exit
HOST
Target host to upload a package. It has the same behavior
and semantics as dput(1)s 'HOST argument. It also uses the same
profiles from it.
SUB-COMMANDS¶
Sub-commands are actually implementing commands understood by be archive software. They can take individual arguments which must appear after specifying the actual desired sub-command.cancel¶
Cancel an upload entirely. The upload is referred to as a changes file name existing remote in the incoming or deferred queues.
Takes one argument
-f, --file=FILENAME
The changes file name which refers to the upload to be
cancelled.
rm¶
Remove a lost or wrongly uploaded file from the incoming directory. The argument is interpreted as a path fragment by the archive software. Therefore, to delete a filename from a deferred queue, refer to it by using the full path For example, to delete a broken upload in the DELAYED queue, use the commanddcut rm -f DELAYED/X-day/foobar.deb
dcut rm --searchdirs -f foobar.deb
Takes at least one argument
-f, --file=FILENAME
The file name to be removed. This argument can be
repeated, and also knows about the shell wildcards *, ?, and []. However,
please keep your local shell replacements in mind when supplying shell meta
characters. You may need to escape them or provide them within quotes.
--searchdirs
Search in all directories for the given file. Only
supported for files in the DELAYED queue.
dm¶
Manage Debian Maintainer (DM) upload permissions. Debian Developers can grant or revoke them package upload permissions using this command. Takes the Debian Maintainer and the action to perform as argument. Note, dcut will not perform any validation for conflicting arguments within --allow and --deny below. This handling is left to the archive software, which is currently processing --allow before --deny as an implementation detail.
--uid
Any searchable, unique identity to identify an existing
Debian Maintainer. This can be a (full) name an e-mail address or a GnuPG
fingerprint of any existing Debian Maintainer. Note, the identity provided
must be known in the DM keyring installed on your local system. The keyring is
used to validate the supplied argument and makes sure the identity hint
supplied matches exactly one DM. If the user you want to change ACLs on
is not known to the local DM keyring, you can provide the full GPG user
ID as argument, and pass --force, to cause dcut to bypass any argument
checking/translation. Please note, this will generate a commands file which
will be uploaded literally as is. Use with caution.
--allow=PACKAGE
--allow PACKAGE LIST
Source package(s) where permissions to upload should be
granted. Give a space-separated list of packages to apply permissions to more
than one package at once. If multiple --allow options are given, the
last one takes precedence.
--deny=PACKAGE
--deny PACKAGE LIST
Source package(s) where permissions to upload should be
denied. Give a space-separated list of packages to apply permissions to more
than one package at once. If multiple --deny options are given, the
last one takes precedence.
reschedule¶
Reschedule an upload. This command can move a deferred upload to any other deferred queue.
Takes two arguments
-f, --file=FILENAME
file name to be rescheduled
-d, --days=DAYS
Reschedule the upload to DAYS days. Takes a numeric
argument from 0 to 15 corresponding to the respective delayed queues. Note,
0-day is not the same as uploading to incoming straight.
upload¶
This is a pseudo-command (that is, it is handled within dcut and not forwarded to the archive kit) which uploads a locally existing commands file as is. However, no checks are performed for this file. Use with caution.
Takes one argument
-f, --file=FILENAME
A local file name which is uploaded as is to the archive
software.
EXIT STATUS¶
0Success
1
A runtime check returned an error
2
An internal error was detected, for example while loading
configuration files
3
An upload error was detected, for example a permission or
authentication problem while uploading files
