DEBRELEASE(1)                        General Commands Manual                        DEBRELEASE(1)

NAME
       debrelease - a wrapper around dupload or dput

SYNOPSIS
       debrelease [debrelease options] [dupload/dput options]

DESCRIPTION
       debrelease  is  a  simple  wrapper  around  dupload or dput.  It is called from within the
       source code tree of a package, and figures out the current version of a package.  It  then
       looks for the corresponding .changes file (which lists the files needed to upload in order
       to release the package) in the parent directory of the source code tree and calls  dupload
       or dput with the .changes file as parameter in order to perform the actual uploading.

       Options  may  be given to debrelease; except for the ones listed below, they are passed on
       unchanged to dupload or dput.  The devscripts configuration files are also read by  debre-
       lease as described below.

Directory name checking
       In  common with several other scripts in the devscripts package, debrelease will climb the
       directory tree until it finds a debian/changelog file.  As a safeguard against stray files
       causing potential problems, it will examine the name of the parent directory once it finds
       the debian/changelog file, and check that the directory name corresponds  to  the  package
       name.   Precisely  how  it does this is controlled by two configuration file variables DE-
       VSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_LEVEL and DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_REGEX, and  their  corresponding
       command-line options --check-dirname-level and --check-dirname-regex.

       DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_LEVEL can take the following values:

       0      Never check the directory name.

       1      Only  check the directory name if we have had to change directory in our search for
              debian/changelog.  This is the default behaviour.

       2      Always check the directory name.

       The directory name is checked by testing whether the current directory name (as determined
       by   pwd(1))   matches   the   regex   given   by   the   configuration  file  option  DE-
       VSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_REGEX or by the command line  option  --check-dirname-regex  regex.
       Here  regex  is  a Perl regex (see perlre(3perl)), which will be anchored at the beginning
       and the end.  If regex contains a '/', then it must match the  full  directory  path.   If
       not,  then it must match the full directory name.  If regex contains the string 'PACKAGE',
       this will be replaced by the source package name, as determined from the  changelog.   The
       default  value  for  the  regex is: 'PACKAGE(-.+)?', thus matching directory names such as
       PACKAGE and PACKAGE-version.

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

       -S     If this option is used, or the default .changes file is not found but a source-only
              .changes  file is present, then this source-only .changes file will be uploaded in-
              stead of an arch-specific one.

       -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.   If  a  plain  -t  is
              given,  it  is taken to be the dupload host-specifying option, and therefore signi-
              fies the end of the debrelease-specific options.

       --multi
              Multiarch .changes mode: This signifies that debrelease should use the most  recent
              file with the name pattern package_version_*+*.changes as the .changes file, allow-
              ing for the .changes files produced by dpkg-cross.

       --debs-dir directory
              Look for the .changes and .deb files in directory instead  of  the  parent  of  the
              source directory.  This should either be an absolute path or relative to the top of
              the source directory.

       --check-dirname-level N
              See the above section Directory name checking for an explanation of this option.

       --check-dirname-regex regex
              See the above section Directory name checking for an explanation of this option.

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

       --help, -h
              Display a help message and exit successfully.

       --version
              Display version and copyright information and exit successfully.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
       The two configuration files /etc/devscripts.conf and ~/.devscripts are sourced in that or-
       der to set configuration variables.  Command line options can be used to override configu-
       ration  file  settings.   Environment variable settings are ignored for this purpose.  The
       currently recognised variables are:

       DEBRELEASE_UPLOADER
              The currently recognised values are dupload and dput, and it  specifies  which  up-
              loader  program should be used.  It corresponds to the --dupload and --dput command
              line options.

       DEBRELEASE_DEBS_DIR
              This specifies the directory in which to look for the .changes and .deb files,  and
              is  either an absolute path or relative to the top of the source tree.  This corre-
              sponds to the --debs-dir command line option.  This directive could  be  used,  for
              example,  if  you  always  use pbuilder or svn-buildpackage to build your packages.
              Note that it also affects debc(1) and debi(1).

       DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_LEVEL, DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_REGEX
              See the above section Directory name checking for an  explanation  of  these  vari-
              ables.   Note  that these are package-wide configuration variables, and will there-
              fore affect all devscripts scripts which check their value, as described  in  their
              respective manpages and in devscripts.conf(5).
