NAME

       dch-repeat - repeats a changelog entry into an older release

SYNOPSIS

       dch-repeat --build-tree <PATH>
       dch-repeat --source-release <RELEASE>
       dch-repeat --target-release <RELEASE>
       dch-repeat --devel-release <RELEASE>

DESCRIPTION

       dch-repeat is used to repeat a changelog into an older release.  It expects that --build-tree is laid out
       with each Ubuntu release as a separate directory ("feisty", "edgy", etc).

       For example, if gimp had a security update  prepared  for  Feisty  in  $TREE/feisty/gimp-2.2.13,  running
       dch-repeat in $TREE/edgy/gimp-2.2.13 would pull in the latest changelog from the Feisty build.
