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.

FILES

The following specific files are used by this application:

~/.tla-buildpackage

Specifies the default working copy location for all build procedures. This file, and the directory it specifies, are both normally created by tbp-initarchive.
