It is called from within the source code tree of a +package, and figures out the current version of a package. It then +looks for the corresponding \fI.changes\fR file (which lists the files +needed to upload in order to release the package) in the parent +directory of the source code tree and calls \fBdupload\fR or +\fBdput\fR with the \fI.changes\fR file as parameter in order to +perform the actual uploading. +.PP +Options may be given to \fBdebrelease\fR; except for the ones listed +below, they are passed on unchanged to \fBdupload\fR or \fBdput\fR. +The \fBdevscripts\fR configuration files are also read by +\fBdebrelease\fR as described below. +.SH "Directory name checking" +In common with several other scripts in the \fBdevscripts\fR package, +\fBdebrelease\fR will climb the directory tree until it finds a +\fIdebian/changelog\fR file. As a safeguard against stray files +causing potential problems, it will examine the name of the parent +directory once it finds the \fIdebian/changelog\fR file, and check +that the directory name corresponds to the package name. Precisely +how it does this is controlled by two configuration file variables +\fBDEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_LEVEL\fR and \fBDEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_REGEX\fR, and +their corresponding command-line options \fB\-\-check-dirname-level\fR +and \fB\-\-check-dirname-regex\fR. +.PP +\fBDEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_LEVEL\fR can take the following values: +.TP +.B 0 +Never check the directory name. +.TP +.B 1 +Only check the directory name if we have had to change directory in +our search for \fIdebian/changelog\fR. This is the default behaviour. +.TP +.B 2 +Always check the directory name. +.PP +The directory name is checked by testing whether the current directory +name (as determined by \fBpwd\fR(1)) matches the regex given by the +configuration file option \fBDEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_REGEX\fR or by the +command line option \fB\-\-check-dirname-regex\fR \fIregex\fR. Here +\fIregex\fR is a Perl regex (see \fBperlre\fR(3perl)), which will be +anchored at the beginning and the end. If \fIregex\fR contains a '/', +then it must match the full directory path. If not, then it must +match the full directory name. If \fIregex\fR contains the string +\'PACKAGE', this will be replaced by the source package name, as +determined from the changelog. The default value for the regex is: +\'PACKAGE(-.+)?', thus matching directory names such as PACKAGE and +PACKAGE-version. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB\-\-dupload\fR, \fB\-\-dput\fR +This specifies which uploader program to use; the default is +\fBdupload\fR. +.TP +\fB\-S\fR +If this option is used, or the default \fI.changes\fR file is +not found but a source-only \fI.changes\fR file is present, then this +source-only \fI.changes\fR file will be uploaded instead of an +arch-specific one. +.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. If a plain \fB\-t\fR is given, it is +taken to be the \fBdupload\fR host-specifying option, and therefore +signifies the end of the \fBdebrelease\fR-specific options. +.TP +\fB\-\-multi\fR +Multiarch \fI.changes\fR mode: This signifies that \fBdebrelease\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\-\-debs\-dir\fR \fIdirectory\fR +Look for the \fI.changes\fR and \fI.deb\fR files in \fIdirectory\fR +instead of the parent of the source directory. This should +either be an absolute path or relative to the top of the source +directory. +.TP +\fB\-\-check-dirname-level\fR \fIN\fR +See the above section \fBDirectory name checking\fR for an explanation of +this option. +.TP +\fB\-\-check-dirname-regex\fR \fIregex\fR +See the above section \fBDirectory name checking\fR for an explanation of +this option. +.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 +.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 DEBRELEASE_UPLOADER +The currently recognised values are \fIdupload\fR and \fIdput\fR, and +it specifies which uploader program should be used. It corresponds to +the \fB\-\-dupload\fR and \fB\-\-dput\fR command line options. +.TP +.B DEBRELEASE_DEBS_DIR +This specifies the directory in which to look for the \fI.changes\fR +and \fI.deb\fR files, and is either an absolute path or relative to +the top of the source tree. This corresponds to the +\fB\-\-debs\-dir\fR command line option. This directive could be +used, for example, if you always use \fBpbuilder\fR or +\fBsvn-buildpackage\fR to build your packages. Note that it also +affects \fBdebc\fR(1) and \fBdebi\fR(1). +.TP +.BR DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_LEVEL ", " DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_REGEX +See the above section \fBDirectory name checking\fR for an explanation of +these variables.
