NAME¶
dpt-takeover -- take over a package for the Debian Perl Group
SYNOPSIS¶
dpt takeover -t
top-directory [
option...]
package...
DESCRIPTION¶
dpt takeover helps taking over a package and adopting its control files
for maintenance by the Debian Perl group.
dpt takeover first creates a local Git repository either from existing
Git repository specified with the
-g option, or by importing the
current package available in Debian/unstable via
gbp-import-dsc(1).
Next
dpt takeover adds suitable entries to
debian/changelog, using
information given by the
-m or the
-a options.
Next
dpt takeover runs "dpt-packagecheck -a -A -C -c" to adjust
the control fields.
Finally, the resulting Git repository is pushed to the Debian collaborative
server, alioth.debian.org, unless the
-n option is used.
OPTIONS¶
- -t top-directory (mandatory)
- The location of the top level directory, containing packages/.
- -m URL
- The address of the message with which the previous maintainer requests
adoption. It is included in the commit message and
debian/changelog.

- -a number
- RFA/ITA bug number. Suitable "Closes: #nnnnnn" is added to
debian/changelog.
Conflicts with -m.
- -g URL
- URL of an existing Git repository to clone. If not present gbp-import-dsc
is used to prime the local Git repository from the package available in
the Debian archive.

alioth.debian.org.
