+.SH NAME
+uupdate \- upgrade a source code package from an upstream revision
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBuupdate\fR [\fIoptions\fR] \fInew_upstream_archive\fR [\fIversion\fR]
+.br
+\fBuupdate\fR [\fIoptions\fR] \fB\-\-find\fR|\fB\-f\fR
+.br
+\fBuupdate\fR [\fIoptions\fR] \fB\-\-patch\fR|\fB\-p\fR \fIpatch_file\fR
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBuupdate\fR modifies an existing Debian source code archive to
+reflect an upstream update supplied as a patch or from a wholly new
+source code archive.  The utility needs to be invoked from the top
+directory of the old source code directory, and if a relative name is
+given for the new archive or patch file, it will be looked for first
+relative to the execution directory and then relative to the parent of
+the source tree.  (For example, if the changelog file is
+\fI/usr/local/src/foo/foo-1.1/debian/changelog\fR, then the archive or
+patch file will be looked for relative to \fI/usr/local/src/foo\fR.)
+Note that the patch file or archive cannot be within the source tree
+itself.  The full details of what the code does are given below.
+.PP
+Currently supported source code file types are \fI.tar.gz\fR,
+\fI.tar.bz2\fR, \fI.tar.Z\fR, \fI.tgz\fR, \fI.tar\fR, \fI.tar.lzma\fR,
+\fI.tar.xz\fR, \fI.7z\fR and \fI.zip\fR
+archives.  Also supported are already unpacked source code archives;
+simply give the path of the source code directory.  Supported patch
+file types are \fBgzip\fR-compressed, \fBbzip2\fR-compressed,
+\fBlzma\fR-compressed, \fBxz\fR-compressed and
+uncompressed patch files.  The file types are identified by the file
+names, so they must use the standard suffixes.
+.PP
+Usually \fBuupdate\fR will be able to deduce the version number from
+the source archive name (as long as it only contains digits and
+periods).  If that fails, you need to specify the version number
+explicitly (without the Debian release number which will always be
+initially \*(lq1\*(rq, or \*(lq0ubuntu1\*(rq on Ubuntu-detected systems).  This can be
+done with an initial \fB\-\-upstream-version\fR or \fB\-v\fR option, or
+in the case of an archive, with a version number after the filename.
+(The reason for the latter is so that \fBuupdate\fR can be called
+directly from \fBuscan\fR.)
+.PP
+Since \fBuupdate\fR uses \fBdebuild\fR to clean the current archive
+before trying to apply a patch file, it accepts a \fB\-\-rootcmd\fR or
+\fB\-r\fR option allowing the user to specify a gain-root command to be
+used.  The default is to use \fBfakeroot\fR.
+.PP
+If an archive is being built, the pristine upstream source should be
+used to create the \fI.orig.tar.gz\fR file wherever possible.  This
+means that MD5 sums or other similar methods can be used to easily
+compare the upstream source to Debian's copy of the upstream version.
+This is the default behaviour, and can be switched off using the
+\fB\-\-no\-pristine\fR option below.
+.SH OPTIONS
+This is a summary of what was explained above.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-no-conf\fR, \fB\-\-noconf\fR
+Do not read any configuration files.  This can only be used as the
+first option given on the command-line.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-upstream\-version \fIversion\fR, \fB\-v \fIversion\fR
+Specify the version number of the upstream package explicitly.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-force\-bad\-version, \fB\-b 
+Force a version number to be less than the current one (e.g., when backporting).
+.TP
+\fB\-\-rootcmd \fIgain-root-command\fR, \fB\-r \fIgain-root-command\fR
+Specify the command to be used to become root to build the package and
+is passed onto \fBdebuild\fR(1) if it is specified.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-pristine\fR, \fB\-u\fR
+Treat the source as pristine upstream source and symlink to it from
+\fI<package>_<version>.orig.tar.gz\fR whenever possible.  This option
+has no meaning for patches.  This is the default behaviour.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-no\-pristine\fR
+Do not attempt to make a \fI<package>_<version>.orig.tar.gz\fR symlink.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-symlink\fR, \fB\-s\fR
+Simply create a symlink when moving a new upstream \fI.tar.gz\fR
+archive to the new \fI<package>_<version>.orig.tar.gz\fR location.
+This is the default behaviour.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-no\-symlink\fR
+Copy the upstream \fI.tar.gz\fR to the new location instead of making
+a symlink, if \fI<package>_<version>.orig.tar.gz\fR is missing.  
+Otherwise, do nothing.
+.TP
+.B \-\-find, \fB\-f\fR
+Find all upstream tarballs in \fI../\fR which match
+\fI<pkg>_<version>.orig.tar.{gz|bz2|lzma|xz}\fR or
+\fI<pkg>_<version>.orig\-<component>.tar.{gz|bz2|lzma|xz}\fR ;
+\fB\-\-upstream\-version\fR required; pristine source required;
+not valid for \fB\-\-patch\fR;
+This option uses \fBdpkg\-source\fR as the backend to enable support for the
+multiple upstream tarballs and to resolve minor bugs reported previously.  The
+use of this option is highly recommended.
+.TP
+.B \-\-verbose
+Give verbose output.
+.TP
+.BR \-\-help ", " \-h
+Display a help message and exit successfully.
+.TP
+.B \-\-version
+Display version and copyright information and exit successfully.
+.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.  The currently recognised variables are:
+.TP
+.B UUPDATE_PRISTINE
+If this is set to \fIno\fR, then it is the same as the
+\fB\-\-no\-pristine\fR command line parameter being used.
+.TP
+.B UUPDATE_SYMLINK_ORIG
+If this is set to \fIno\fR, then it is the same as the
+\fB\-\-no\-symlink\fR command line parameter being used.
+.TP
+.B UUPDATE_ROOTCMD
+This is equivalent to the \fB\-\-rootcmd\fR option.
+.SH "ACTIONS TAKEN ON AN ARCHIVE"
+.TP
+.B Figure out new version number
+Unless an explicit version number is provided, the archive name is
+analyzed for a sequence of digits separated by dots.  If something
+like that is found, it is taken to be the new upstream version
+number.  If not, processing is aborted.
+.TP
+.B Create the .orig.tar.gz archive
+If the \fB\-\-pristine\fR or \fB\-u\fR option is specified and the
+upstream archive is a \fI.tar.gz\fR or \fI.tgz\fR archive, then this
+will be copied directly to \fI<package>_<version>.orig.tar.gz\fR.
+.TP
+.B Unpacking
+The archive is unpacked and placed in a directory with the correct
+name according to Debian policy: package-upstream_version.orig.
+Processing is aborted if this directory already exists.
+.TP
+.B Patching
+The \fI.diffs.gz\fR from the current version are applied to the
+unpackaged archive.  A non-zero exit status and warning message will
+occur if the patches did not apply cleanly or if no patch file was
+found.  Also, the list of rejected patches will be shown.  The
+file \fIdebian/rules\fR is made executable and all of the \fI.orig\fR
+files created by \fBpatch\fR are deleted.
+.TP
+.B Changelog update
+A changelog entry with the new version number is generated with the
+text \*(lqNew upstream release.\*(rq.
+
+When used on Ubuntu systems, \fBdpkg-vendor\fR detection is used to set
+the Debian revision to \*(lq0ubuntu1\*(rq.  You may change
+\fIdebian/changelog\fR manually afterwards.
+.SH "ACTIONS TAKEN ON A PATCH FILE"
+.TP
+.B Figure out new version number
+Unless an explicit version number is provided, the patch file name is
+analyzed for a sequence of digits separated by dots.  If something
+like that is found, it is taken to be the new upstream version
+number.  If not, processing is aborted.
+.TP
+.B Clean the current source tree
+The command \fBdebuild clean\fR is executed within the current Debian
+source archive to clean it.  If a \fB\-r\fR option is given to
+\fBuupdate\fR, it is passed on to \fBdebuild\fR.
+.TP
+.B Patching
+The current source archive (\fI.orig.tar.gz\fR) is unpacked and the
+patch applied to the original sources.  If this is successful, then
+the \fI.orig\fR directory is renamed to reflect the new version number
+and the current Debian source directory is copied to a directory with
+the new version number, otherwise processing is aborted.  The patch is
+then applied to the new copy of the Debian source directory.  The file
+\fIdebian/rules\fR is made executable and all of the \fI.orig\fR files
+created by \fBpatch\fR are deleted.  If there was a problem with the
+patching, a warning is issued and the program will eventually exit
+with non-zero exit status.
+.TP
+.B Changelog update
+A changelog entry with the new version number is generated with the
+text \*(lqNew upstream release.\*(rq.
+
+When used on Ubuntu systems, \fBdpkg-vendor\fR detection is used to set
+the Debian revision to \*(lq0ubuntu1\*(rq.  You may change
+\fIdebian/changelog\fR manually afterwards.
