NAME

       cvs-autoreleasedeb.conf - Configuration for cvs-autoreleasedeb

SYNOPSIS

         /etc/cvs-autoreleasedeb.conf
         $HOME/.cvs-autoreleasedeb/conf

DESCRIPTION

       The  cvs-autoreleasedeb  configuration  file is writed in XML, because XML is easy to work with multiple-
       level data, but it's already in the TODO list to use a better format.

       As a good XML file, this config file has the following header.

         <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
         <!DOCTYPE cvs-autoreleasedeb [
         <!ELEMENT sources (server)+>
         <!ELEMENT server (package)+>
         <!ATTLIST server
          name CDATA #REQUIRED
          options CDATA #REQUIRED>
         <!ELEMENT package (option)+>
         <!ATTLIST package
          name CDATA #REQUIRED
          cvsroot CDATA #REQUIRED
          prefix CDATA #REQUIRED
          tag CDATA #REQUIRED>
         <!ELEMENT option EMPTY>
         <!ATTLIST option
          name CDATA #REQUIRED
          value CDATA #REQUIRED>
         ]>

       Which, in fact, tells the structure of the XML file. But in the case you  don't  know  XML,  this  header
       tells  that,  in the sources, you have servers, which have packages, which have options. A server has the
       "name" and the "option" properies, a package has "name", "cvsroot", "prefix" and "tag" properties and  an
       option has "name" and "value" property.

       Before  explaining how the options affects the script, you must know that in the current version, all the
       tags and properties MUST be lowercase (it's already on the TODO list).

CONFIGURATION SECTIONS

       server

       This is the master section, tells what server to dupload. Actually, the "name" property of the server  is
       used  as  the  "--to"  parameter  to  dupload.  Packages are declared inside servers. Also, the "options"
       property tells aditional parameters to cvs-buildpackage for every package in this server.

       package

       The package itself, the "name" property is used as the  module  name  for  cvs  checkout.  The  "cvsroot"
       property  is passed to cvs as the CVSROOT and the "prefix" is placed before the module name, used if your
       package is inside some other directory than the cvs root.  Optionally, you can inform a tag  to  checkout
       the sources from.

       option

       Specify  an  option to a package.  The following options are accepted and increment the following text to
       the cvs-buildpackage command: binary-source = 1: "-b"

EXAMPLE

       In the case you still didn't understand the config file, follows an example:

         <server name="intern">
           <package name="cvs-autoreleasedeb" cvsroot=":pserver:ruoso@ozonio:/var/cvs" prefix="">
           </package>
           <package name="someotherpackage" cvsroot=":pserver:ruoso@ozonio:/var/cvs" prefix="">
             <option name="binary-source" value="1"/>
           </package>
         </server>
