| | | Building Debian Packages with tla-buildpackage | |
|---|
tbp-importorig imports the tar.gz file given by filename (or a directory, if filename is one) into the tla-buildpackage archive. Since upstream tarballs do not contain the package and version information in a unified format, you must specify that on the command line as well.
It is an error to run tbp-importorig on a package when a newer version already exists in the archive. tbp-importorig detects this condition and will terminate without causing harm.
| filename_or_dir | Gives the path to a tar.gz file to import. Alternatively, gives the path to a directory to import without unpacking anything. |
| package | Gives the Debian source package name corresponding to this upstream package. |
| version | Gives the package version corresponding to this upstream package. This should not contain the Debian part (-1, -2, etc). |
The following specific files are used by this application:
| ~/.tla-buildpackage | Specifies the default working copy location for all build procedures. This file, and the directory it specifies, are both normally created by tbp-initarchive. |
The following environment variables are used by this application:
| TBP_WC | Specifies the working copy area for tla-buildpackage to use for all build-related tasks, overriding the value in ~/.tla-buildpackage, if any. |
