NAME

       cvs-debrelease - upload a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

SYNOPSIS

       cvs-debrelease [cvs-debrelease options] [--dopts [dupload/dput options]]

DESCRIPTION

       cvs-debrelease  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 uploads  the  package
       using  debrelease(1),  which  in turn calls either dupload or dput.  Note that the --dopts option must be
       specified to distinguish the cvs-debrelease  options  from  the  dupload  or  dput  options.   Also,  the
       devscripts configuration files will be read, as described in the debrelease(1) manpage.

       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.  All debrelease options
       (as listed below) are also accepted.

       --dupload, --dput
              This specifies which uploader program to use; the default is dupload.

       -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.

       --no-conf, --noconf
              Do not read any configuration files.  This can only be used as  the  first  option  given  on  the
              command-line.

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