NAME

       uscan-components - wrapper around uscan for package and components

SYNOPSIS

       uscan-components [options]

DESCRIPTION

       "uscan-components" is a wrapper around "uscan" for packages using "dh_components". Firstly it will check
       that both the package and all the components have watch files; and will return an error if they do not.
       Then it will run uscan on the main watch file. If that downloads something it will run uscan on each of
       the components. It accepts a number of uscan options all of which are passed onto to each invocation of
       uscan.

OPTIONS

       --upgrade
       --no-upgrade
           By default the current versions of the various components will be downloaded.  This resolves into
           --force-download and either --download-current-version or --upstream-version for the main and
           component tarballs respectively.  The current versions of the components are stored in the files:
           "debian/components/"comp"/version".  If the --upgrade option is applied then instead the latest
           version will be requested and the version files updated accordingly.

       --dry-run
           If set no actual uscan will not actually be called but those that might be will be listed.

       --help
           Prints a brief help message and exits.

       --man
           Prints the manual page and exits.

       --verbose
       --no-verbose
           These options simulate the verbosity flag being passed to "uscan".  The actual invocations must
           always be verbose as the information is required to correctly rename the component files. However the
           output is not passed back to the user if verbosity is turned off.

       --report
       --report-status
       --pasv
       --no-pasv
       --timeout
       --debug
       --user-agent, --useragent
           All of the these arguments are passed straight to each uscan invocation.

FILES

       For each component the watch file is assumed to be in "debian/components/"component"/watch" and the
       component version is maintained in "debian/components/"component"/version".
