[_CVS-DEBI_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/CVS-DEBI/1/markdown)                            General Commands Manual                           [_CVS-DEBI_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/CVS-DEBI/1/markdown)

## NAME
       cvs-debi - install cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

## SYNOPSIS
       **cvs-debi **[_options_] [_package_ ...]

## DESCRIPTION
       **cvs-debi  **is  run  from  the CVS working directory after **cvs-buildpackage **or **cvs-debuild**.  It
       uses the **cvs-buildpackage **system to locate the _.changes_ file generated in that run.  It  then
       runs  **debpkg  -i  **on every _.deb_ archive listed in the _.changes_ file to install them, assuming
       that all of the _.deb_ archives live in the same directory as the _.changes_ file.  Note that you
       probably don't want to run this program on a _.changes_ file relating to a different  architec‐
       ture after cross-compiling the package!

       If  a  list of packages is given on the command line, then only those debs with names in this
       list of packages will be installed.

       Note that unlike **cvs-buildpackage**, the only way to specify the source package  name  is  with
       the **-P **option; you cannot simply have it as the last command-line parameter.

       Since  installing  a package requires root privileges, **debi **calls **debpkg **rather than **dpkg **di‐
       rectly.  Thus **debi **will only be useful if it is either being run as root or **debpkg **can be run
       as root.  See [**debpkg**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/debpkg/1/markdown) for more details.

## OPTIONS
       All current **cvs-buildpackage **options are silently accepted; however, only the ones listed be‐
       low have any effect.  For more details on all of them, see the [**cvs-buildpackage**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/cvs-buildpackage/1/markdown) manpage.

### -a_ -t_
              See [**dpkg-architecture**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/dpkg-architecture/1/markdown) for a description of these options.  They affect  the  search
              for  the _.changes_ file.  They are provided to mimic the behaviour of **dpkg-buildpackage**
              when determining the name of the _.changes_ file.

### -M_
              The name of the CVS module.

### -P_
              The name of the package.

### -V_
              The version number of the package.

### -T_

### -R_
              Root of the original sources archive.

### -W_
              The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.

### -x_
              This option provides the CVS default module prefix.

       **--help**, **--version**
              Show help message and version information respectively.
