NAME

       dpt-import-orig - "gbp import-orig" wrapper with upstream tracking support

SYNOPSIS

       dpt import-orig [../package_version.orig.tar.gz]

DESCRIPTION

       dpt import-orig is a wrapper around gbp import-orig using its --uscan and
       --upstream-vcs-tag options to fetch and import tarballs and link to upstream Git tags.

       If necessary, the git remote is added using dpt-upstream-repo(1).

       If a parameter is passed, it's taken as orig tar-ball to import instead of using uscan to
       download the tar ball. Needed if a newer upstream release has a (from dpkg's point of
       view) lower version number and gbp bails out over uscan not having downloaded a tar ball.

CONFIGURATION

       dpt import-orig reads the "DPT_RM_TARGZ" environment variable to determine if the
       downloaded .orig.tar.gz should be removed after the import.

       See dpt-config(5) for details.
