uscan-components - wrapper around uscan for package and
components
uscan-components [options]
"uscan-components" is a wrapper
around "uscan" for packages using
"dh_components". Firstly it will check
that both the package and all the components have watch files; and will
return an error if they do not. Then it will run uscan on the main watch
file. If that downloads something it will run uscan on each of the
components. It accepts a number of uscan options all of which are passed
onto to each invocation of uscan.
- --upgrade
- --no-upgrade
- By default the current versions of the various components will be
downloaded. This resolves into --force-download and either
--download-current-version or --upstream-version for the
main and component tarballs respectively. The current versions of the
components are stored in the files:
"debian/components/"comp"/version".
If the --upgrade option is applied then instead the latest version
will be requested and the version files updated accordingly.
- --update
- --no-update
- This option calls "uupdate -f" to create
a buildable source package directory.
- --dry-run
- If set no actual uscan will not actually be called but those that might be
will be listed.
- --help
- Prints a brief help message and exits.
- --man
- Prints the manual page and exits.
- --verbose
- --no-verbose
- These options simulate the verbosity flag being passed to
"uscan". The actual invocations must
always be verbose as the information is required to correctly rename the
component files. However the output is not passed back to the user if
verbosity is turned off.
- --report
- --report-status
- --pasv
- --no-pasv
- --timeout
- --debug
- --user-agent,
--useragent
- All of the these arguments are passed straight to each uscan
invocation.
For each component the watch file is assumed to be in
"debian/components/"component"/watch"
and the component version is maintained in
"debian/components/"component"/version".
