CVS-DEBI(1)                            General Commands Manual                           CVS-DEBI(1)



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) 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) manpage.

       -adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
              See  dpkg-architecture(1)  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.

       -Mmodule
              The name of the CVS module.

       -Ppackage
              The name of the package.

       -Vversion
              The version number of the package.

       -Ttag  The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.

       -Rroot directory
              Root of the original sources archive.

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

       -xprefix
              This option provides the CVS default module prefix.

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