DESCRIPTION
gbp import-dsc imports a Debian source package into a Git repository, notes the package version in the
commit logs, and commits the change. All information, including package name, version, Debian
modifications and upstream source, is automatically detected from the source package. After import the
repository can be used with the other gbp tools.
If the command is run from within an existing Git repository, it will import into it; if not, a new
repository named as the Debian source package is created. You can override the location of the new
repository by specifying the optional target argument.
When given a URL gbp import-dsc will download the source package prior to importing it. dget is used for
all schemes except for the special scheme apt:/// which uses apt-get (and therefore needs deb-src entries
in your /etc/apt/sources.list). The later can be abbreviated by using the pseudo URL apt:.
OPTIONS
--version
Print version of the program, i.e. version of the git-buildpackage suite
-v, --verbose
Verbose execution
-h, --help
Print help and exit
--color=[auto|on|off]
Whether to use colored output.
--color-scheme=COLOR_SCHEME
Colors to use in output (when color is enabled). The format for COLOR_SCHEME is
'<debug>:<info>:<warning>:<error>'. Numerical values and color names are accepted, empty fields
imply the default color. For example, --git-color-scheme='cyan:34::' would show debug messages in
cyan, info messages in blue and other messages in default (i.e. warning and error messages in
red).
--upstream-branch=branch_name
The branch in the Git repository the upstream sources are put onto. Default is upstream.
--debian-branch=branch_name
The branch in the Git repository the debian sources are put onto. Default is master.
--[no-]sign-tags
GPG sign all created tags
--keyid=gpg-keyid
Use this keyid for gpg signing tags.
--debian-tag=tag-format
Use this tag format when tagging Debian versions, default is debian/%(version)s.
--upstream-tag=tag-format
Use this tag format when tagging upstream versions, default is upstream/%(version)s.
--upstream-vcs-tag=tag-format
Add tag-format as additional parent to the commit of the upstream tarball. Useful when upstream
uses git and you want to link to its revision history. The tag-format can be a pattern similar to
what --upstream-tag supports.
The default is to not add upstream tags as additional parents since this requires additional setup
to have the upstream sources in the same repository.
--skip-debian-tag
Don't create Debian tag after importing the Debian patch. This can be useful if you already
created a package but want to further work on it after importing it into git.
--filter=pattern
Filter out files glob-matching pattern from upstream tarballs and the debian tarball of 3.0(quilt)
packages. Note that the .diff.gz of 1.0 source format packages is currently not filtered.
This option can be given multiple times.
--pristine-tar
Generate pristine-tar delta file.
--allow-unauthenticated
Whether to skip signature verification on downloads. Passed on verbatim to dget and apt-get
respectively. Use with care.
--allow-same-version
Allow one to import a package with the same debian version.
--author-is-committer
When importing the Debian patch, use the author identity as committer identity.
--author-date-is-committer-date
When importing the Debian patch, use the author date as committer date.
Warning
Git will subtly misbehave if the committer date of a commit is not later than or equal to all its
parents.
--[no-]create-missing-branches
Create upstream and debian branch if missing.
--repo-user=[GIT|DEBIAN]
When set to DEBIAN use the DEBUSER environment variable to set the user.name Git configuration
otherwise use Git's defaults. Only affects newly created repos.
--repo-email=[GIT|DEBIAN]
When set to DEBIAN use the DEBEMAIL environment variable to set the user.email Git configuration
otherwise use Git's defaults. Only affects newly created repos.
CONFIGURATION FILES
Several gbp.conf files are parsed to set defaults for the above command-line arguments. See the
gbp.conf(5) manpage for details.
EXAMPLES
Download and import a source package from a URL:
gbp import-dsc http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hello/hello_2.10-1.dsc
Download and import a source package via apt-get source from unstable:
gbp import-dsc apt:hello/sid
Import a source package in the local file system:
gbp import-dsc ../hello_2.10-1.dsc
