NAME

       cvs-debi - install cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

SYNOPSIS

       cvs-debi [options] [package ...]

DESCRIPTION

       cvs-debi  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 runs debpkg -i  on  every
       .deb  archive listed in the .changes file to install them, assuming that all of the .deb archives live in
       the same directory as the .changes file.  Note that you probably don't want to  run  this  program  on  a
       .changes file relating to a different architecture after cross-compiling the package!

       If  a  list  of  packages  is  given on the command line, then only those debs with names in this list of
       packages will be installed.

       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.

       Since  installing  a package requires root privileges, debi calls debpkg rather than dpkg directly.  Thus
       debi will only be useful if it is either being run as root or debpkg can be run as root.   See  debpkg(1)
       for more details.

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.

       -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.

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