dbp-get

Name

dbp-get -- Check out a Debian package from a Darcs repository

Synopsis

dbp-get [package...]

Description

The dbp-get command is used to check out a copy of the Debian source for a package from Darcs. Additionally, it can automatically download a copy from any of several mirrors if the Darcs repository doesn't already exist locally.

Options

The one option specifies the name of the package to get.

Configuration

Configuration happens in ~/.darcs-buildpackage like with all the other commands. The two new options are debianmirrors and upstreammirrors. They are whitespace-separated lists of mirrors to check if the given package isn't in the local area. Here's an example:

repobase = /home/jgoerzen/debdarcs
upstreamrepo = %(repobase)s/%(package)s.upstream
debianrepo = %(repobase)s/%(package)s

debianmirrors = http://darcs.complete.org/debian/%(package)s
        http://somewhereelse.example.com/debian/%(package)s
upstreammirrors = http://darcs.complete.org/debian/%(package)s.upstream
        http://foo.example.com/upstream/%(package)s
