NAME

       cvs-debc - view contents of a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

SYNOPSIS

       cvs-debc [options] [package ...]

DESCRIPTION

       cvs-debc  is  run from the CVS working directory after cvs-buildpackage or cvs-debuild.  It uses the cvs-
       buildpackage system to locate the .changes file generated in that  run.   It  then  displays  information
       about  the  .deb  files which were generated in that run, by running dpkg-deb -I and dpkg-deb -c on every
       .deb archive listed in the .changes file, assuming that all  of  the  .deb  archives  live  in  the  same
       directory  as  the .changes file.  It is useful for ensuring that the expected files have ended up in the
       Debian package.

       If a list of packages is given on the command line, then only those debs  with  names  in  this  list  of
       packages will be processed.

       Note that unlike cvs-buildpackage, the only way to specify the source package name is with the -P option;
       you cannot simply have it as the last command-line parameter.

OPTIONS

       All current cvs-buildpackage options are silently accepted; however, only the ones listed below have  any
       effect.  For more details on all of them, see the cvs-buildpackage(1) manpage.

       -adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
              See  dpkg-architecture(1)  for  a  description  of  these options.  They affect the search for the
              .changes file.  They are provided to mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the
              name of the .changes file.

       -Mmodule
              The name of the CVS module.

       -Ppackage
              The name of the package.

       -Vversion
              The version number of the package.

       -Ttag  The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.

       -Rroot directory
              Root of the original sources archive.

       -Wwork directory
              The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.

       -xprefix
              This option provides the CVS default module prefix.

       --help, --version
              Show help message and version information respectively.
