.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBmergechanges\fR [\fB\-d\fR] [\fB\-f\fR] [\fB\-S\fR] [\fB\-i\fR] \fIfile1 file2\fR [\fIfile\fR...]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBmergechanges\fR merges two or more \fI.changes\fR files, merging
|
|
the Architecture, Description and Files (and Checksums-*, if present)
|
|
fields of the two. There are checks made to ensure that the changes
|
|
files are from the same source package and version and use the same
|
|
changes file Format. The first changes file is used as the basis and
|
|
the information from the later ones is merged into it.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The output is normally written to \fIstdout\fR. If the \fB\-f\fR
|
|
option is given, the output is written to
|
|
\fIpackage\fR_\fIversion\fR_multi.changes instead, in the same
|
|
directory as the first changes file listed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the \fB\-d\fR option is given and the output is generated successfully, the
|
|
input files will be deleted.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the \fB\-i\fR or \fB\-\-indep\fR option is given, source packages
|
|
and architecture-independent (Architecture: all) packages are included
|
|
in the output, but architecture-dependent packages are not.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the \fB\-S\fR or \fB\-\-source\fR option is given, only source packages
|
|
are included in the output.
