dpt-takeover -- take over a package for the Debian Perl Group
dpt takeover -t
top-directory [
option...]
package...
dpt takeover helps taking over a package and adopting its control files
for maintenance by the Debian Perl group.
dpt takeover first creates a local Git repository either from existing
Git repository specified with the
-g option, or by importing all
package versions available on snapshot.debian.org via
gbp-import-dscs(1).
Next
dpt takeover adds suitable entries to
debian/changelog, using
information given by the
-m or the
-a options.
Next
dpt takeover runs "dpt-packagecheck -a -A -C -c" to adjust
the control fields.
Finally, the resulting Git repository is pushed to the Debian collaborative
server, salsa.debian.org, unless the
-n option is used.
