NAME

       dupload.conf - configuration file for dupload

DESCRIPTION

       The configuration file is rather straight forward Perl code as it is included by the
       dupload script via "do $config".  The config file is read as Perl code!

       Any dupload.conf must begin with "package config;" because "config" is the namespace
       expected by dupload.

       For examples of the configuration please refer to the global configuration file
       /etc/dupload.conf.

       It contains associative arrays, each indexed by the nickname (see --to option of dupload),
       for the following items:

       fqdn [required]
           The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the nickname.

           For the copy method, this option is ignored and the local FQDN will be used instead.

       method [optional]
           The transfer method. The available methods are: ftp (which is the default), scp, scpb,
           rsync (over SSH) and copy (local filesystem).

           If you are using an upload queue, use ftp because it is fast.  If you are using an
           authenticated host, always use scp or rsync via SSH, because ftp transmits the
           password in clear text.

           For scp and rsync to work properly, you have to setup the remote and local host to
           establish a ssh/slogin connection using .shosts/.rhosts or the files in ~/.ssh/. If
           you do not want or cannot do that, you may find the scpb more convenient since it
           uploads in batch, reducing the number of password prompts.

           The only major caveat of the rsync and scpb options is that the files are processed in
           a batch mode, i.e. not separately, so in case of an error dupload will not be able to
           detect which part of the transfer failed, and just delete the .upload file completely.

       login [optional]
           The account name used to log into the remote host.  For ftp the default is anonymous,
           which should work with firewall logins too.  For scp, scpb and rsync the default is
           delegated to SSH and its own configuration.

       password [optional]
           The FTP password for anonymous logins.

       filemode [optional]
           The destination files mode, in octal. If the value is undef, the mode will not be
           modified. The default is 0644.

       incoming [required]
           Incoming directory, the directory we try to upload to.

       queuedir [optional]
           The directory we move the uploaded files to (after successful upload to incoming.
           Usually necessary only with some special upload queues.

       distwhitelist [optional]
           The regex of the distributions allowed for this host. This check is done against the
           Distribution field in the .changes file.

       distblacklist [optional]
           The regex of the distributions disallowed for this host. This check is done against
           the Distribution field in the .changes file.

       mailto [optional]
           Email address where the announcement about stable packages is sent.

       mailtx [optional]
           Email address where the announcement about unstable and experimental packages is sent.

       cc [optional]
           Email address where to send a copy address of the announcement.

       fullname [optional]
           Your full name, one that should appear in the announcement;

           If you leave this setting empty, the default will depend on your mail system. Usually
           the full name will be copied from the GCOS field in /etc/passwd.

       visibleuser [optional]
           Your username that should appear in the announcement. Defaults to "getlogin()".

       visiblename [optional]
           The host/domain name that appears as the part to the right of the @ character in the
           from-part of the announcement. Defaults to the value your local MTA likes.

       passive [optional]
           Set the passive mode for FTP transfers. Since dupload uses Net::FTP, you can also use
           the environment variable FTP_PASSIVE.

       options [optional]
           String that will be added verbatim to the command line of any scp or rsync calls done.

       dinstall_runs [optional]
           Tells dupload that the remote host runs dinstall (or equivalent) so that dupload will
           not send a duplicate announcement mail.  The default is 0 (false), set it to 1 to
           enable it.

       archive [optional]
           If set to 0 (false), adds a X-No-Archive: yes header in the announcement.  The default
           is 1 (true).

       The configuration files also contain the following global variables:

       default_host [optional]
           The default host to upload to. The default value of this variable is set depending on
           the current vendor, but if there is no configuration for that vendor it will be left
           unset.

       no_parentheses_to_fullname [optional]
           Prevents dupload to add parentheses around the full name when making mail
           announcements. Default is 0 (false), set it to 1 to enable it.

HOOKS

       Hooks are a powerful way to add actions which will be run before or after a dupload (like
       the preinst and postinst script of dpkg).

       You have two sort of hooks: pre-upload and post-upload. Both are simple shell commands
       (executed by "sh -c" so you can use any shell tricks).  Pre-uploads are always run (even
       in dry mode) and stop dupload if they fail (failure being measured by the hook's exit
       status). Post-uploads are only run when you are not in dry mode and only if the uploading
       succeeded.

       Both sorts of hooks are run for a given category: changes, sourcepackage, package, file or
       deb.

       changes
           This hook is run once per changes file (given as an argument to dupload) with the
           filename as its parameter.

       sourcepackage
           This hook is run once per changes file with the source package name and its version as
           its two parameters.

       package
           This hook is run once per binary package (a deb file) with the package name and its
           version as its two parameters.

       file
           This hook is run once per uploaded file, with the file name as its parameter.

       deb This hook is run once per binary package (a deb file) with the filename as its
           parameter.

   Syntax
       Hooks are defined in two Perl hashes, %preupload and %postupload, each indexed by
       category. In addition to the global hashes, each host entry has two fields with the same
       names, for the host-specific hooks.

       Hooks are defined as list reference with each item executed in sequence.  Note: For
       backwards compatibility with old configurations they can be defined as a simple scalar,
       even though they will emit a warning, but this support will be dropped after the next
       major Debian release.

       The shell command will be substituted first: %1 will be replace by the first argument,
       etc.

   Per-host or global hooks
       Hooks can be global (for all the hosts) or can be for a specific host.  Host specific
       hooks override the global ones for each category.

   Examples
       This one runs lintian before uploading. It is global and guarantee that you will always
       upload lintian-clean packages (thanks to lintian return status).

            $preupload{'deb'} = [ 'lintian -v -i %1' ];

       This one just display the name and versions of successfully uploaded packages.

            $postupload{'package'} = [ 'echo PACKAGE %1 %2 uploaded' ];

       Unlike the two others, this one is specific to one host, master, and overrides the default
       global hook in charge of checking the OpenPGP signatures:

            $cfg{master}{preupload}{'changes'} = [ 'echo Uploading %1' ];

FILES

       The configuration is searched as following:

               /etc/dupload.conf
               ~/.dupload.conf

       The latest entries override the former.

ENVIRONMENT

       Those of Net::FTP for the FTP method:

        FTP_FIREWALL
        FTP_PASSIVE
