NAME¶
mergechanges - merge multiple changes files
SYNOPSIS¶
mergechanges [
-f]
file1 file2 [
file...]
DESCRIPTION¶
mergechanges merges two or more
.changes files, merging the
Architecture, Description and Files (and Checksums-*, if present) fields of
the two. There are checks made to ensure that the changes files are from the
same source package and version and use the same changes file Format. The
first changes file is used as the basis and the information from the later
ones is merged into it.
The output is normally written to
stdout. If the
-f option is
given, the output is written to
package_
version_multi.changes
instead, in the same directory as the first changes file listed.
