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.
