.TH REQUESTSYNC "1" "19 January 2008" "ubuntu-dev-tools"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
requestsync \- helper to file sync requests for Ubuntu
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B requestsync\fR [\fB\-d \fIdistro\fR] [\fB\-nse\fR] [\fB\-k \fIkeyid\fR] <\fBsource package\fR> [\fBtarget release\fR] [\fIbase version\fR]

.B requestsync \-h
|
|
.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.
|
|
The changelog entry is then downloaded from packages.debian.org, and the
|
|
sync request bug is filed in launchpad.
|
|
Alternatively, the sync request can be filed by GPG\-signed email (option
|
|
\fB\-\-email\fR).
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBrequestsync\fR checks if you have the permissions to request the sync from
|
|
the archive administrators directly by checking if you have upload permissions
|
|
for that package through package set permissions or component permissions. If
|
|
you don't have upload permissions, the script will subscribe the necessary
|
|
team with approval rights to the bug report for you.
|
|
|
|
This check is only performed if \fBrequestsync\fR is allowed to use the LP API
|
|
(not email submission). In the other case \fBrequestsync\fR relies on that you
|
|
answer the question about upload permissions honestly to determine if a team
|
|
with approval rights is to be subscribed to the bug.
|
|
|
|
If you have permission to upload the package directly, then you may prefer
|
|
to use \fBsyncpackage\fR instead to copy the package using the Launchpad
|
|
API. At some future point, \fBrequestsync\fR will be changed to do this
|
|
automatically.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBrequestsync\fR uses launchpadlib authentication to file its requests.
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
Listed below are the command line options for requestsync:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-h
|
|
Display a help message and exit.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-d
|
|
Specifies which Debian distribution a package should be synced from.
|
|
Default is \fIunstable\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-n
|
|
Specifies that the package is a new package, and requestsync should not
|
|
attempt to look it up in Ubuntu since it will not exist.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-k \fI<keyid>\fR
|
|
Specifies your GPG key.
|
|
This is only used if the sync request is mailed to Launchpad.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-email
|
|
Use GPG\-signed email to file the bug, rather than launchpadlib.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-s
|
|
Specifies that you require sponsorship.
|
|
You need this option if you don't have upload permissions for that package.
|
|
This disables the upload permissions check described above.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-C
|
|
Allow changelog to be manually filled in when missing.
|
|
\fBrequestsync\fR gets Debian changelogs from packages.debian.org, which
|
|
isn't in sync with the Debian archive.
|
|
To request a sync before the changelog is available, pass this option,
|
|
and provide the changelog entries yourself.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-e
|
|
Use this flag after FeatureFreeze for non-bug fix syncs. \fBrequestsync\fR will
|
|
subscribe ubuntu-release team instead of sponsorship team.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-l \fIINSTANCE\fR, \fB\-\-lpinstance\fR=\fIINSTANCE\fR
|
|
Use the specified instance of Launchpad (e.g. "staging"), instead of

|
the default of "production".

into.

|
|
.TP
|
|
.B [base version]
|
|

|
from the Debian package) cannot be automatically determined.

Specify this option in this case.
|
|
|
|
