All options not listed +below are passed to the \fBdebsign\fR program on the remote machine. +.PP +If a \fI.changes\fR or \fI.dsc\fR file is specified, it is signed, +otherwise, \fIdebian/changelog\fR is parsed to determine the name of +the \fI.changes\fR file to look for in the parent directory. +.PP +This utility is useful if a developer must build a package on one +machine where it is unsafe to sign it; they need then only transfer +the small \fI.dsc\fR and \fI.changes\fR files to a safe machine and +then use the \fBdebsign\fR program to sign them before +transferring them back. This program automates this process. +.PP +To do it the other way round, that is to connect to an unsafe machine +to download the \fI.dsc\fR and \fI.changes\fR files, to sign them +locally and then to transfer them back, see the \fBdebsign\fR(1) +program, which can do this task. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB\-S\fR +Look for a source-only \fI.changes\fR file instead of a binary-build +\fI.changes\fR file. +.TP +\fB\-a\fIdebian-architecture\fR, \fB\-t\fIGNU-system-type\fR +See \fBdpkg-architecture\fR(1) for a description of these options. +They affect the search for the \fI.changes\fR file. They are provided +to mimic the behaviour of \fBdpkg-buildpackage\fR when determining the +name of the \fI.changes\fR file. +.TP +\fB\-\-multi\fR +Multiarch \fI.changes\fR mode: This signifies that \fBdebrsign\fR should +use the most recent file with the name pattern +\fIpackage_version_*+*.changes\fR as the \fI.changes\fR file, allowing for the +\fI.changes\fR files produced by \fBdpkg-cross\fR. +.TP +\fB\-\-path \fIremote-path\fR +Specify a path to the GPG binary on the remote host. +.TP +\fB\-\-help\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR +Show help message and version information respectively. +.TP +\fBOther options\fR +All other options are passed on to \fBdebsign\fR on the remote +machine. +.SH "CONFIGURATION VARIABLES" +The two configuration files \fI/etc/devscripts.conf\fR and +\fI~/.devscripts\fR are sourced in that order to set configuration +variables. Command line options can be used to override configuration +file settings. Environment variable settings are ignored for this +purpose.
