NAME

dpt-missing-upload -- incorporate package uploads not done from Git

SYNOPSIS

dpt missing-upload [-i] BASETAG NEWVERSION

dpt missing-upload incorporates uploads of a package which are not yet in the Git repo, e.g. NMUs.

To be run in the root directory of the source package's Git repo, and with the target branch checked out.

Options must come before parameters.

-i: Run interactively, e.g. call "git merge" with --no-commit, so the commit can be amended. Useful if the imported upload adds/removes files.
Interactive mode is also enabled if a .gitignore file is found.

BASETAG: The Git tag representing the package version before the one to be imported. Required.
NEWVERSION: The package version to be downloaded and imported. Required.

To make merging Debian tags as painless as possible, dpkg-mergechangelogs(1) is helpful.
For downloading the source package, "deb-src" entries are required in the sources.list.
