💖 BUILDVC(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to buildvc — it lives in the General Commands Manual section, and it's here to create a SUSE type changes entry for you. no cap. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

buildvc [-m message] [-e] [changesfile_or_dir [commentfile]]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does buildvc actually do? it adds a brand new changes entry to a SUSE .changes file. that's the whole vibe. 💅

here's the tea on how it decides what goes in:

  • got the -m option? then you're specifying the entry directly, and it just uses what you gave it. iconic, no notes. 👑
  • didn't pass -m? then an editor gets started so you can enter the new changes entry interactively. main character energy, you type it yourself. 😌
  • got a commentfile? then its content gets used as a template for the new entry instead of an empty entry. reusing your own words, we love to see it. 🫶
  • and the -e option? that one suppresses the creation of an empty entry. so if you're using a template and you don't want a blank one hanging around, -e is your girl.

🔍 how it finds your .changes file 🔍

if you don't specify a changesfile, buildvc will go snooping around the current directory looking for a file ending with .changes. it will literally just find it for you. 🕵️♀️

and plot twist — if you hand it a directory instead of a changes file, then that directory gets searched instead. it's giving "flexible." 🌈
