man debcommit (Commandes) - commit changes to a package
NAME
debcommit - commit changes to a package
SYNOPSIS
debcommit [--release] [--message=text] [--noact]
DESCRIPTION
debcommit generates a commit message based on new text in debian/changelog, and commits the change to a package's cvs, svn, svk, arch, or bzr repository. It must be run in a cvs, svn, svk, arch, or bzr working copy for the package.
OPTIONS
- -r --release
- Commit a release of the package. The version number is determined from debian/changelog, and is used to tag the package in cvs, svn, svk, or arch. bzr does not yet support symbolic tags, so you will only get a normal commit. Note that svn/svk tagging conventions vary, so debcommit uses svnpath(1) to determine where the tag should be placed in the repository.
- -m text --message test
- Specify a commit message to use. Useful if the program cannot determine a commit message on its own based on debian/changelog, or if you want to override the default message.
- -n --noact
- Do not actually do anything, but do print the commands that would be run.
