.TH SYNCPACKAGE "1" "June 2010" "ubuntu-dev-tools"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
syncpackage \- helper to prepare .changes file to upload synced packages
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B syncpackage
|
|
[\fIoptions\fR] \fI<.dsc URL/path or package name>\fR
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBsyncpackage\fR generates a changes file to be directly uploaded to Ubuntu
|
|
primary archive or PPA starting from a pristine Debian package.
|
|
.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\fR is discouraged by the Ubuntu Archive
|
|
Administrators, as it introduces an unnecessary window for error.
|
|
In future launchpad will offer the ability to directly perform sync
|
|
requests, without a developer having to do an upload.
|
|
Until then, it's advised to use \fBsyncpackage\fR with caution, and
|
|
request syncs via bugs with
|
|
.BR requestsync (1)
|
|
where possible.
