NAME

       dpt-forward - Forward a bug or a patch upstream

SYNOPSIS

        dpt forward [option...] path/to/some.patch [bug-number]
        dpt forward [option...] bug-number [path/to/some.patch]

OPTIONS

       --dist name
       -d name
           Distribution  name. Determined from META, the "Homepage" field in debian/control file or the "Source"
           field in debian/copyright, in that order.

       --force
           Normally <dpt-forward> checks if the bug/patch is already forwarded upstream and aborts if  so.  With
           this option, the check is still done, but execution is not aborted and only a warning is issued.

       --meta file
           Specifies  the location of the META file. Defaults to META.json or META.yml in the current directory,
           whichever is found first.

       --mode bug|patch
       -m bug|patch
           Mode of operation. Should rarely be needed.

           Determines the meaning of the arguments. bug means that the first argument is a bug number,  and  the
           second argument is a patch file name. patch means the opposite.

           Determined  from the first non-option argument and whether it looks like a bug number or a patch file
           name.

       --offline-test
           All operations that require network are replaced with stubs, allowing for off-line testing.

       --ticket number
           If present, the information is submitted to the ticket as an additional comment.

           If missing, a new ticket is created.

       --tracker name
       -t name
           Tracker used by the distribution. dpt forward  currently  supports  cpan  (<http://rt.cpan.org>)  and
           github.  The default is determined from the "resources->bugtracker->web" field of META. If that field
           is not present, cpan is used.

       --tracker-url url
       -u url
           Tracker URL to submit the information to. Taken from the "resources->bugtracker->web" field of  META.
           Defaults  to  "https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=dist-name" for cpan and is mandatory
           for github.
