NAME¶

dpt-missing-upload -- incorporate package uploads not done from Git

SYNOPSIS¶

dpt missing-upload [-i] BASETAG NEWVERSION

DESCRIPTION¶

dpt missing-upload incorporates uploads of a package which are not yet in the Git repo, e.g. NMUs.

To be run in the root directory of the source package's Git repo, and with the target branch checked out.

OPTIONS¶

Options must come before parameters.

-i

Run interactively, e.g. call "git merge" with --no-commit, so the commit can be amended. Useful if the imported upload adds/removes files.

Interactive mode is also enabled if a .gitignore file is found.

PARAMETERS¶

BASETAG

The Git tag representing the package version before the one to be imported. Required.

NEWVERSION

The package version to be downloaded and imported. Required.

NOTES¶

• To make merging Debian tags as painless as possible, dpkg-mergechangelogs(1) is helpful.
• For downloading the source package, "deb-src" entries are required in the sources.list.
