SYNOPSIS
tbp-importorig [ options ] filename_or_dir package version
DESCRIPTION
tbp-importorig imports the tar.gz file given by filename (or a directory, if filename is one) into the tla-buildpackage archive. Since upstream tarballs do not contain the package and version information in a unified format, you must specify that on the command line as well.
It is an error to run tbp-importorig on a package when a newer version already exists in the archive. tbp-importorig detects this condition and will terminate without causing harm. However, this can be overridden by the --force-upstream-version argument (see below).
ARGUMENTS
- filename_or_dir
-
Gives the path to a tar.gz file to import.
Alternatively, gives the path to a directory to import without unpacking anything.
- package
- Gives the Debian source package name corresponding to this upstream package.
- version
- Gives the package version corresponding to this upstream package. This should not contain the Debian part (-1, -2, etc).
OPTIONS
- --tla-version=VERSION, --tla-upstream-version=VERSION
- put the upstream sources into the tla version named VERSION. default: [package]--head--1.0
- --tla-branch-from=REVISION, --tla-upstream-branch-from=REVISION
- branch the upstream sources from the tla revision named REVISION; if no patch level is specified, the latest revision from the given version will be used
- --force-version, --force-upstream-version
- import this version even if it is older than other upstream sources already imported.
- -h, --help
- display the help message and exit.
- -v, --version
- display version info and exit.
