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



## NAME
       cvs-debrelease - upload a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

## SYNOPSIS
       **cvs-debrelease** [_cvs-debrelease_ _options_] [**--dopts** [_dupload/dput_ _options_]]

## DESCRIPTION
       **cvs-debrelease**  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  uploads  the  package  using [**debrelease**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/debrelease/1/markdown), which in turn calls either **dupload** or **dput**.
       Note that the **--dopts** option must be specified to distinguish the **cvs-debrelease** options from
       the  **dupload**  or **dput** options.  Also, the **devscripts** configuration files will be read, as de‐
       scribed in the [**debrelease**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/debrelease/1/markdown) manpage.

       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.

## 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.
       All **debrelease** options (as listed below) are also accepted.

       **--dupload**, **--dput**
              This specifies which uploader program to use; the default is **dupload**.

### -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.

       **--no-conf**, **--noconf**
              Do  not read any configuration files.  This can only be used as the first option given
              on the command-line.

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