CVS-DEBC(1)                                                   General Commands Manual                                                  CVS-DEBC(1)

NAME

       cvs-debc - view contents of a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

SYNOPSIS

       cvs-debc [options] [package ...]

DESCRIPTION

       cvs-debc  is  run  from the CVS working directory after cvs-buildpackage or cvs-debuild.  It uses the cvs-buildpackage system to locate the
       .changes file generated in that run.  It then displays information about the .deb files which were generated in that run, by running  dpkg-
       deb -I and dpkg-deb -c on every .deb archive listed in the .changes file, assuming that all of the .deb archives live in the same directory
       as the .changes file.  It is useful for ensuring that the expected files have ended up in the Debian package.

       If a list of packages is given on the command line, then only those debs with names in this list of packages will be processed.

       Note that unlike cvs-buildpackage, the only way to specify the source package name is with the -P option; you cannot simply have it as  the
       last command-line parameter.

OPTIONS

       All  current  cvs-buildpackage options are silently accepted; however, only the ones listed below have any effect.  For more details on all
       of them, see the cvs-buildpackage(1) manpage.

       -adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
              See dpkg-architecture(1) for a description of these options.  They affect the search for the .changes file.  They  are  provided  to
              mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the name of the .changes file.

       -Mmodule
              The name of the CVS module.

       -Ppackage
              The name of the package.

       -Vversion
              The version number of the package.

       -Ttag  The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.

       -Rroot directory
              Root of the original sources archive.

       -Wwork directory
              The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.

       -xprefix
              This option provides the CVS default module prefix.

       --help, --version
              Show help message and version information respectively.
