.SH DESCRIPTION

|
|
|
\fBrequestsync\fR looks at the versions of <source package> in Debian and
|
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu and prompts for an explanation of why the Ubuntu changes (if there
|
|
|
|
|
are any) should be dropped.
|
2008-01-19 15:40:28 +01:00
|
|
|
The changelog entry is then downloaded from packages.debian.org. If the sync
|
|
|
|
|
request is being filed per email (default), a prompt for your GPG passphrase
|
|
|
|
|
follows so that it can sign the mail and send it off to Launchpad.
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively a sync request can be filed directly using the launchpadbugs
|
|
|
|
|
python module (option \fB\-\-lp\fR). \fBrequestsync\fR falls back to mail
|
|
|
|
|
the sync request if submitting using the launchpadbugs module fails.
