NAME
       debpkg - wrapper for dpkg

SYNOPSIS
       debpkg dpkg-options

DESCRIPTION
       debpkg simply invokes dpkg(1) but first becomes superuser so that dpkg is able to install and remove packages.  It also cleans the environ-
       ment and resets PATH to a sane default: "/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11" so that local versions of  programs  are  not  run	by
       accident.

REQUIREMENTS
       debpkg  must  be given superuser privileges in some way to function properly.  Access to debpkg with those privileges is the same as having
       superuser access to your machine.  debpkg will abort if it finds that it neither being run by root nor setuid root.

       The devscripts package has been designed to allow debpkg to be made setuid root.  This works by using  a  compiled  wrapper  script,  which
       means that suidperl is not required.  See dpkg-statoverride(8) if you wish to make this program setuid root.  sudo or super could also con-
       ceivably be used.

NAME

       cvs-debi - install cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

SYNOPSIS

       cvs-debi [options] [package ...]

DESCRIPTION

       cvs-debi  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 runs debpkg -i on every .deb archive listed in the .changes file to  install  them,  assuming
       that  all of the .deb archives live in the same directory as the .changes file.	Note that you probably don't want to run this program on a
       .changes file relating to a different architecture after cross-compiling the 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 installed.

       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.

       Since  installing  a package requires root privileges, debi calls debpkg rather than dpkg directly.  Thus debi will only be useful if it is
       either being run as root or debpkg can be run as root.  See debpkg(1) for more details.

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.
