.TH SYNCPACKAGE "1" "June 2010" "ubuntu-dev-tools"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
syncpackage \- copy source packages from Debian to Ubuntu
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B syncpackage
|
|
[\fIoptions\fR] \fI<.dsc URL/path or package name>\fR
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBsyncpackage\fR causes a source package to be copied from Debian to
|
|
Ubuntu.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBsyncpackage\fR allows you to upload files with the same checksums of the
|
|
Debian ones, as the common script used by Ubuntu archive administrators does,
|
|
this way you can preserve source files integrity between the two distributions.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBsyncpackage\fR will detect source tarballs with mismatching checksums
|
|
and will automatically create fake syncs instead.
|
|
.SH WARNING
|
|
The use of \fBsyncpackage \-\-no\-lp\fR, which generates a changes file to
|
|
be directly uploaded to the Ubuntu primary archive or a PPA, is discouraged
|
|
by the Ubuntu Archive Administrators, as it introduces an unnecessary window
|
|
for error.
|
|
This only exists for backward compatibility, for unusual corner cases, and
|
|
for uploads to archives other than the Ubuntu primary archive.
|
|
Omitting this option will cause Launchpad to perform the sync request
|
|
directly, which is the preferred method for uploads to the Ubuntu primary
|
|
archive.
