cvs-debi - install cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package
cvs-debi [
options] [
package ...]
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.
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.
