NAME

       submittodebian - submit changes in Debian source tree to Debian

SYNOPSIS

       submittodebian

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the submittodebian command.

       submittodebian  was created to help bridge a gap between Debian and Ubuntu, namely by making it trivially
       easy to submit your changes to a Debian package to the Debian bug tracking system.

       It expects to find the .dsc and diff.gz of the current version (which you likely just  created)  and  the
       previous  one  in the parent directory.  By examining debian/changelog it will extract the information it
       needs to:

       1. Extract the debdiff containing your changes.

       2. Open the debdiff in your $EDITOR so that you can remove any Ubuntu specific changes.

       3. Extract your changelog entry so that you can create a bug report from it.

       4. Start reportbug with the debdiff attached and with the text of the changelog entry.

       reportbug(1).
