dpt-uscan 💖

okay bestie, welcome to dpt-uscan — a manual page from the Debian Perl packaging Tools collection, and honestly? she's small but she's mighty ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

dpt-uscan — a tiny wrapper around uscan and gbp import-orig 🎀

like, a tiny wrapper. smol. adorable. does two things and does them well, no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

dpt uscan

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. iconic behavior fr fr 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea ☕ — dpt uscan calls uscan(1), and then calls gbp import-orig if a newer upstream version got downloaded. two steps, one command, main character energy only 🌟

she's similar to dpt-import-orig(1), BUT — and this is the important part — without the upstream repository integration. so if you were expecting repo magic, bestie, this is not that vibe 🙈

running dpt uscan is literally equivalent to doing this by hand:

% uscan
% gbp import-orig upstream-tarball

but with a lil glow-up 💖 — the location of the newly downloaded tarball is detected from uscan's --dehs output, which means it is not hardcoded to ../. instead it just goes with whatever uscan's configuration says. trusting the config, as she should 🫶
