man dbp-get (Commandes) - Check out a Debian package from a Darcs repository

NAME

dbp-get - Check out a Debian package from a Darcs repository

SYNOPSIS

darcs-buildpackage [ package ... ]

DESCRIPTION

The dbp-get command is used to check out a copy of the Debian source for a package from Darcs. Additionally, it can automatically download a copy from any of several mirrors if the Darcs repository doesn't already exist locally.

OPTIONS

The one option specifies the name of the package to get.

CONFIGURATION

Configuration happens in ~/.darcs-buildpackage like with all the other commands. The two new options are debianmirrors and upstreammirrors. They are whitespace-separated lists of mirrors to check if the given package isn't in the local area. Here's an example:

repobase = /home/jgoerzen/debdarcs
upstreamrepo = %(repobase)s/%(package)s.upstream
debianrepo = %(repobase)s/%(package)s

debianmirrors = http://darcs.complete.org/debian/%(package)s http://somewhereelse.example.com/debian/%(package)s upstreammirrors = http://darcs.complete.org/debian/%(package)s.upstream http://foo.example.com/upstream/%(package)s

SEE ALSO

Detailed usage information, including a background and a description of how the tools fit together, can be found in the darcs-buildpackage Manual. On Debian systems, you may find this at /usr/share/doc/darcs-buildpackage.
