man tbp-importorig (Commandes) - Import an upstream source into tla-buildpackage archive

NAME

tbp-importorig - Import an upstream source into tla-buildpackage archive

SYNOPSIS

tbp-importorig filename_or_dir package version

DESCRIPTION

tbp-importorig imports the tar.gz file given by filename (or a directory, if filename is one) into the tla-buildpackage archive. Since upstream tarballs do not contain the package and version information in a unified format, you must specify that on the command line as well.

It is an error to run tbp-importorig on a package when a newer version already exists in the archive. tbp-importorig detects this condition and will terminate without causing harm.

OPTIONS

filename_or_dir
Gives the path to a tar.gz file to import.

Alternatively, gives the path to a directory to import without unpacking anything.

package
Gives the Debian source package name corresponding to this upstream package.
version
Gives the package version corresponding to this upstream package. This should not contain the Debian part (-1, -2, etc).

FILES

The following specific files are used by this application:

~/.tla-buildpackage
Specifies the default working copy location for all build procedures. This file, and the directory it specifies, are both normally created by tbp-initarchive.

ENVIRONMENT

The following environment variables are used by this application:

TBP_WC
Specifies the working copy area for tla-buildpackage to use for all build-related tasks, overriding the value in ~/.tla-buildpackage, if any.
