SVN-INJECT(1)

💅 SVN-INJECT(1) — the command reference bestie, ok so

ok so real talk: svn-inject is a command reference page, and it's about putting a Debian source package into a Subversion repository. that's it, that's the whole vibe. no cap. 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

svn-inject — puts a Debian source package into Subversion repository. literally its whole job. it ate and left no crumbs.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

svn-inject [options]
                                          package.dsc
                                          repository_URL

so you're handing it a .dsc and a repo URL, plus whatever options you're feeling. that's the group chat invite right there. 🫶

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

svn-inject accepts the following options on the command-line:

• -h — print the help menu. the classic "wait what do i do" button. 💀
• -v — Make the command output verbose. Default: Off.
• -q — Hide less important messages. Default: Off.
• -l — Layout type. 1 (default) means package/{trunk,tags,branches,...} scheme, 2 means the {trunk,tags,branches,...}/package scheme. Default: 1
• -t directory — Specify the directory where the .orig.tar.gz files are stored on the local machine. Default: Off.
• *-d | --do-like=directory* **— Looks at the working directory of some other package and uses its base URL, tarball storage directory and similar checkout target directory. Default: Off.
• -c number — Checkout nothing (0), trunk directory (1) or everything (2) when the work is done. Default: 1
• -o — Only keep modified files under SVN control (including the debian/ directory), track only parts of upstream branch. Default: Off.
• -O | --no-branches — Do not create the branches subdirectory at all. This works in a similar way to -o but all changes on upstream files (e.g. meta changes like updating the config.guess and config.sub files) are ignored and the upstream branch is not used. Default: use branches/.
• -s — By default, svn-inject used to create .svn/deb-layout after an inject operation if a checkout followed the inject. Since version 0.6.22 this behaviour is deprecated.

With this parameter svn-inject will replicate the old behaviour.

This option was provided since it can be useful when creating a local override file.

Default: Off.

bestie listen. this one is deprecated behaviour energy — you only reach for it if you specifically want the old-school .svn/deb-layout thing. 🚨

• -setprops -set-props — Set svn-bp:* props on the debian directory automatically. Default: Off.
