.TH DEBRELEASE 1 "Debian Utilities" "DEBIAN" \" -*- nroff -*-
.SH NAME
debrelease \- a wrapper around dupload or dput
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBdebrelease\fR [\fIdebrelease options\fR] [\fIdupload/dput options\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBdebrelease\fR is a simple wrapper around \fBdupload\fR or
\fBdput\fR.  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 \fI.changes\fR 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 \fBdupload\fR or
\fBdput\fR with the \fI.changes\fR file as parameter in order to
perform the actual uploading.
.PP
Options may be given to \fBdebrelease\fR; except for the ones listed
below, they are passed on unchanged to \fBdupload\fR or \fBdput\fR.
The \fBdevscripts\fR configuration files are also read by
\fBdebrelease\fR as described below.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-\-dupload\fR, \fB\-\-dput\fR
This specifies which uploader program to use; the default is
\fBdupload\fR.
.TP
\fB\-S\fR
If this option is used, or the default \fI.changes\fR file is
not found but a source-only \fI.changes\fR file is present, then this
source-only \fI.changes\fR file will be uploaded instead of an
arch-specific one.
.TP
\fB\-a\fIdebian-architecture\fR, \fB\-t\fIGNU-system-type\fR
See \fBdpkg-architecture\fR(1) for a description of these options.
They affect the search for the \fI.changes\fR file.  If
.TP
\fB\-\-help\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
Show help message and version information respectively and exit.
.SH "CONFIGURATION VARIABLES"
The two configuration files \fI/etc/devscripts.conf\fR and
\fI~/.devscripts\fR are sourced in that order to set configuration
variables.  Command line options can be used to override configuration
file settings.  Environment variable settings are ignored for this
purpose.  The currently recognised variable is:
.TP
.B DEBRELEASE_UPLOADER
The currently recognised values are \fIdupload\fR and \fIdput\fR, and
it specifies which uploader program should be used.  It corresponds to
the \fB\-\-dupload\fR and \fB\-\-dput\fR command line options.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
\fBdupload\fR(1), \fBdput\fR(1).
