NAME¶
dpt-packagecheck -- check package source for group policy consistency
SYNOPSIS¶
dpt packagecheck -c
check-option...
dpt packagecheck -p
package top-directory
check-option...
DESCRIPTION¶
dpt packagecheck performs various checks of package sources and tries to
correct them in accordance with the policies of the Debian Perl Group.
Package selection options¶
dpt packagecheck can operate either on a single package, or on all
packages maintained by the group.
To run the checks on all group packages, use the
-c option with working
directory containing
packages/ directory.
To run the checks on individual package, use
-p package
top-directory, where
top-directory is the directory containing
the
packages/ directory.
Repository interaction¶
If the
-a option is given, changes are committed to the repository by
calling "mr commit".
If the
-n option is given, no changes are committed.
If neither option is given,
dpt packagecheck asks for confirmation before
calling "mr commit".
Note that "mr commit" also pushes the changes to the remote
repository.
