NAME

       dput - package upload tool for Debian

SYNTAX

       dput [options] [host[:argument]] package.changes ...

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  a  tool for uploading Debian packages into the archive. You may specify to which host it should
       upload the file by passing it an host argument. If omitted, dput uses the host specified by  default_host
       (or, historically default_host_non-us) configuration option. You also can pass an argument to the host by
       appending the hostname with a colon followed by the argument. For  example,  you  can  upload  easily  to
       different launchpad PPAs by passing the PPAs' id to the ppa host without having to modify dput.cf.

       You have to pass the program one or more name of package.changes files and then they will be sequentially
       uploaded.

       This program will then upload the package for you into the  archive,  using  a  selected  upload  method.
       Currently dput supports ftp, scp, rsync, http, sftp, https, and local. The method scripts have been split
       from the main script so it is easy to add new methods.  Look in /usr/share/dput/ for examples.

       Should something go wrong with your upload to destinations using the Debian  upload  queue  daemon  (e.g.
       ftp-master), you can remove files from the upload queue with dcut(1).

OPTIONS

       -c, --config - define a config file to use.

       -d, --debug - activate debugging mode, helpful if bugs occur.

       -D, --dinstall - do a dry run of dinstall after the upload.

       -f, --force - force an upload of an already uploaded package.

       -h, --help - print help information and exit.

       -H, --host-list - print the lists of hosts that dput knows about.

       -l, --lintian - run lintian before the upload.

       -U, --no-upload-log - do not write a .upload log file after uploading.

       -o, --check-only - check only the package and do not upload.

       -p, --print - print the configuration that dput is using.

       -P,  --passive - use passive ftp instead of active. Note that passive ftp is the default unless specified
       otherwise in the configuration file.

       -s, --simulate - simulate an upload only.

       -u, --unchecked - don't check GnuPG signature on the changes file.

       -e, --delayed - Upload to a DELAYED queue, rather than the usual Incoming. This takes an argument from  0
       to 15. Note that a delay of 0 is different from no delay at all.

       -v, --version - print version information and exit.

       -V,  --check-version  -  check if the user has already installed and tested the package before putting it
       into the archive.
