CVSSUCK(1)						      General Commands Manual							CVSSUCK(1)

NAME

       cvssuck - inefficient cvs repository grabber using cvs command

SYNOPSIS

       cvssuck [-h] [-b] [-s] [-v] [-D debug-option,...]  cvsroot [-o output-directory|-O output-base] [-l lock-directory|-L lock-base] module ...

DESCRIPTION

       CVSsuck is a mirroring tool for cvs repositories.  Unlike other tools such as CVSup or rsync, it uses cvs command to access the repository.
       So, it works well with remote repositories without a special server or shell account.  However it is inefficient and  not  perfect  because
       cvs  client/server  protocol  is not designed for mirroring.  If a server provides special way to grab a repository, you shouldn't use CVS-
       suck.

OPTIONS

       -h     prints help message.

       -b     makes CVSsuck to traverse directories in breadth first.  CVSsuck traverses directory in depth first by default.

       -s     specifies skeleton mode.	In this mode, CVSsuck grabs only first revision of the trunk, 1.1,  branchpoints,  head  of  branches  and
	      tagged revisions.  Note that first two (first revision of the trunk and 1.1) is identical in usual case.

       -v     makes CVSsuck verbosely.	This is same as `-D command,attic,leavetmp'.

       -D debug-option,...
	      specifies debug options.	Available debug options are listed by `cvssuck -h'.

       -o output-directory
	      specifies the directory to store grabbed repository.  A remote RCS file module/dir/file,v in cvsroot will be stored in output-direc-
	      tory/dir/file,v.

       -O output-base
	      specifies the base directory to store grabbed repository.  A remote RCS file module/dir/file,v in cvsroot will be stored in  output-
	      base/module/dir/file,v.	-o  and  -O  is exclusive.  The last specified before module is effective.  By default, CVSsuck behaves as
	      that current directory is specified with -O.

       -l lock-directory
	      specifies the directory of CVS style lock.

       -L lock-base
	      specifies the base directory of CVS style lock.  -l and -L is exclusive.	A lock directory  should  be  specified  after	an  output
	      directory.   The	last specified before module after an output directory is effective.  By default, CVSsuck assumes a lock directory
	      is same as output directory.

EXAMPLES

       % cvssuck :pserver:anonymous@cvs.m17n.org:/cvs/cvs cvssuck

       grabs the module cvssuck in the repository :pserver:anonymous@cvs.m17n.org:/cvs/cvs into the directory cvssuck.

       % cvssuck :pserver:anonymous@cvs.m17n.org:/cvs/cvs cvssuck cvs-info

       grabs the modules cvssuck and cvs-info.

       % cvssuck :pserver:anonymous@cvs.m17n.org:/cvs/cvs -O $HOME/.cvsroot cvssuck

       grabs the module cvssuck into $HOME/.cvsroot/cvssuck.

       % cvssuck :pserver:anonymous@cvs.m17n.org:/cvs/cvs -O $HOME/.cvsroot -L $HOME/.cvslock cvssuck

       grabs the module cvssuck into $HOME/.cvsroot/cvssuck with the lock directory $HOME/.cvslock/cvssuck.

       % cvssuck :pserver:anonymous@cvs.m17n.org:/cvs/cvs -o $HOME/.cvsroot/cvs/suck cvssuck

       grabs the module cvssuck into $HOME/.cvsroot/cvs/suck.

       % cvssuck -s :pserver:anonymous@cvs.m17n.org:/cvs/cvs cvssuck

       grabs needy revisions (skeleton) of the module cvssuck.

BUGS

       It's inefficient.

       It's not perfect because revisions stated as `dead' cannot be retrieved.  However it is not observable until the state is changed  by  `cvs
       admin -s'.

NAME

       cvs-debrelease - upload a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

SYNOPSIS

       cvs-debrelease [cvs-debrelease options] [--dopts [dupload/dput options]]

DESCRIPTION

       cvs-debrelease  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 uploads the package using debrelease(1), which in turn  calls	either	dupload  or  dput.
       Note  that  the	--dopts  option  must  be specified to distinguish the cvs-debrelease options from the dupload or dput options.  Also, the
       devscripts configuration files will be read, as described in the debrelease(1) manpage.

       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.  All debrelease options (as listed below) are also accepted.

       --dupload, --dput
	      This specifies which uploader program to use; the default is dupload.

       -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.

       --no-conf, --noconf
	      Do not read any configuration files.  This can only be used as the first option given on the command-line.

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