+.SH NAME
+cvs-debrelease \- upload a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBcvs-debrelease\fP [\fIcvs-debrelease options\fR] [\fB\-\-dopts\fR
+[\fIdupload/dput options\fR]]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBcvs-debrelease\fR is run from the CVS working directory after
+\fBcvs-buildpackage\fR or \fBcvs-debuild\fR. It uses the
+\fBcvs-buildpackage\fR system to locate the \fI.changes\fR file
+generated in that run. It then uploads the package using
+\fBdebrelease\fR(1), which in turn calls either \fBdupload\fR or
+\fBdput\fR. Note that the \fB\-\-dopts\fR option must be specified to
+distinguish the \fBcvs-debrelease\fR options from the \fBdupload\fR or
+\fBdput\fR options. Also, the \fBdevscripts\fR configuration files
+will be read, as described in the \fBdebrelease\fR(1) manpage.
+.PP
+Note that unlike \fBcvs-buildpackage\fR, the only way to specify the
+source package name is with the \fB\-P\fR option; you cannot simply
+have it as the last command-line parameter.
+.SH OPTIONS
+All current \fBcvs-buildpackage\fR options are silently accepted;
+however, only the ones listed below have any effect. For more details
+on all of them, see the \fBcvs-buildpackage\fR(1) manpage. All
+\fBdebrelease\fR options (as listed below) are also accepted.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-dupload\fR, \fB\-\-dput\fR
+This specifies which uploader program to use; the default is
+\fBdupload\fR.
+.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
+.BR \-M\fImodule
+The name of the CVS module.
+.TP
+.BR \-P\fIpackage
+The name of the package.
+.TP
+.B \-V\fIversion
+The version number of the package.
+.TP
+.B \-T\fItag
+The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.
+.TP
+.B \-R\fIroot\ directory
+Root of the original sources archive.
+.TP
+.B \-W\fIwork directory
+The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.
+.TP
+.B \-x\fIprefix
+This option provides the CVS default module prefix.
+.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\-\-help\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
+Show help message and version information respectively.
