NAME¶
submittodebian - submit changes in Debian source tree to Debian
SYNOPSIS¶
submittodebian
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
submittodebian command.
submittodebian was created to help bridge a gap between Debian and
Ubuntu, namely by making it trivially easy to submit your changes to a Debian
package to the Debian bug tracking system.
It expects to find the .dsc and diff.gz of the current version (which you likely
just created) and the previous one in the parent directory. By examining
debian/changelog it will extract the information it needs to:
1. Extract the debdiff containing your changes.
2. Open the debdiff in your $EDITOR so that you can remove any Ubuntu specific
changes.
3. Extract your changelog entry so that you can create a bug report from it.
4. Start reportbug with the debdiff attached and with the text of the changelog
entry.
SEE ALSO¶
reportbug(1).
