NAME

       forward-patch - Forward a patch to CPAN's request tracker

SYNOPSIS

        forward-patch [option...] PATCH [DISTRIBUTION]

        Examples:
          $ forward-patch some-patch.patch Some-Dist # explicitly set dist name
          $ forward-patch some-patch.patch           # make f-p read dist name from debian/control

CONFIGURATION

       If the distribution name is not set from the command-line forward-patch will also look at
       the "Homepage" field in the "debian/control" file or the "Source" filed in
       "debian/copyright" and extracts the name from there.

       forward-patch will use by default the "DEBFULLNAME" and "DEBEMAIL" environment variables
       to retrieve information about the ticket author. If not set, getpwuid and the "EMAIL"
       environment variable will be used.

OPTIONS

       --tracker tracker-name
           Instructs forward-patch to use the specified issue tracker.

           Supported values for tracker-name are:

           github
               Uses GitHub API to submit the patch as an issue. Requires proper
               "resources->repository" in META.

           cpan
               Submits the patch to <http://rt.cpan.org>.

           The default is determined by the "resources.bugs" and "resources.repository" values in
           META.
