.TH sponsor\-patch "1" "September 21 2010" "ubuntu-dev-tools"
 | 
						|
.SH NAME
 | 
						|
sponsor\-patch \- Pull a patch / merge request from Launchpad,
 | 
						|
test-build it, and upload.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.SH SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
.B sponsor\-patch \fR[\fIoptions\fR] \fIbug
 | 
						|
.br
 | 
						|
.B sponsor\-patch \-h
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.SH DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
\fBsponsor\-patch\fR downloads the patch or Bazaar branch linked to an
 | 
						|
Ubuntu bug, applies it, generates a review diff, (optionally) test
 | 
						|
builds it, runs
 | 
						|
.BR lintian (1)
 | 
						|
and, after review and confirmation, can upload it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
\fBsponsor\-patch\fR can be used for sponsoring patches, merges from
 | 
						|
Debian, SRUs, and creating debdiffs from patches.
 | 
						|
If \fIbug\fR has multiple patches or branches linked, it will prompt the
 | 
						|
user to select one.
 | 
						|
The same applies to bug tasks.
 | 
						|
If the attached patch is not a debdiff,
 | 
						|
.BR edit-patch (1)
 | 
						|
is used to apply it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.nr step 1 1
 | 
						|
Some obvious checks are performed, in particular:
 | 
						|
.IP \n[step]. 4
 | 
						|
.BR update\-maintainer (1)
 | 
						|
is run on the source package to ensure that the \fBMaintainer\fR field
 | 
						|
meets the Ubuntu policy.
 | 
						|
.IP \n+[step].
 | 
						|
The version number must be greater than the current version in the
 | 
						|
archive.
 | 
						|
The \fBchanges\fR file is also correctly generated to list all changes
 | 
						|
since the current version in the archive.
 | 
						|
.IP \n+[step].
 | 
						|
The changelog must automatically close the sponsorship bug.
 | 
						|
.IP \n+[step].
 | 
						|
The changelog target must be valid.
 | 
						|
.IP \n+[step].
 | 
						|
The changelog timestamp is touched.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
Should any checks (or the build fail), the user has an option to edit
 | 
						|
the patched source and try building it again.
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
Unless a working directory is specified, the sources and patches will be
 | 
						|
downloaded into a temporary directory in \fB/tmp\fR, which is removed once the
 | 
						|
script finishes running.
 | 
						|
The output of the build tool will be placed in \fIworkdir\fR/\fBbuildresult/\fR.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
