NAME
cvs-debc - view contents of a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated
package
SYNOPSIS
cvs-debc [options] [package ...]
DESCRIPTION
cvs-debc is run from the CVS working directory after cvs-buildpackage
or cvs-debuild. It uses the cvs-buildpackage system to locate the
.changes file generated in that run. It then displays information
about the .deb files which were generated in that run, by running dpkg-
deb -I and dpkg-deb -c on every .deb archive listed in the .changes
file, assuming that all of the .deb archives live in the same directory
as the .changes file. It is useful for ensuring that the expected
files have ended up in the Debian package.
If a list of packages is given on the command line, then only those
debs with names in this list of packages will be processed.
Note that unlike cvs-buildpackage, the only way to specify the source
package name is with the -P option; you cannot simply have it as the
last command-line parameter.
OPTIONS
All current cvs-buildpackage options are silently accepted; however,
only the ones listed below have any effect. For more details on all of
them, see the cvs-buildpackage(1) manpage.
-adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
See dpkg-architecture(1) for a description of these options.
They affect the search for the .changes file. They are provided
to mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the
name of the .changes file.
-M<module>
The name of the CVS module.
-P<package>
The name of the package.
-V<version>
The version number of the package.
-T<tag>
The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.
-R<root directory>
Root of the original sources archive.
-W<work directory>
The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.
-x<prefix>
This option provides the CVS default module prefix.
--help, --version
Show help message and version information respectively.
