👑 MINI-BUILDD-DPUT 👑

okay bestie, welcome to mini-buildd-dput — it lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and it does one thing and does it gorgeously. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

mini-buildd-dput — upload it like mini-buildd does, and unlike dput / dput-ng, this one supports ftps. slay. 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

the vibe here is:

usage: mini-buildd-dput [-h] [--version] [-l LOG_LEVEL] [-c CONFIG] [-f] [-C]
       TARGET CHANGES

Upload it like mini-buildd (unlike dput/dput-ng, supports ftps)

that's it. that's the whole mission statement. and honestly? iconic. 👑

🌸 positional arguments 🌸

these are the two things you have to hand over, no skipping:

  • TARGET — the dput target, bestie. specifically it's the configuration section id inside your .dput.cf. 🎀
  • CHANGES — the changes file. yes, that changes file. the one you just built. 💜

✨ options ✨

one bullet per flag, no gatekeeping, all of them:

  • -h, --help — show this help message and exit. the classic. the people's champion. 🫶
  • --version — show the program's version number and exit. quick lil flex. ⭐
  • -l, --log-level LOG_LEVEL — set the log level. if you don't give one, it applies ['WARNING', 'mini_buildd.INFO'] by default, so that's the vibe you get. you can also hand it as <logger>.<level> to only affect individual loggers, and you can pass it multiple times — check your existing logs to find the actual logger names, bestie. (default: None) 🙈
  • -c, --config CONFIG — configuration file to parse. (default: ~/.dput.cf) 🌈
  • -f, --force — disable the check for a unique upload. (default: False) 💀
  • -C, --check-result — wait for and check packaging results. heads up: this fails if the package is not installed. (default: False) 😭
lowkey important reminder: -C doesn't just peek at results, it waits for them and it fails if the package is not installed. plan accordingly, queen.

that's the whole page, no notes, no cap. go upload something cute. 🎀✨🦋
