svn-buildpackage

helper programs to maintain Debian packages with Subversion

svn-buildpackage (formerly svn-devscripts) contains tools that help to automate the task of maintaining Debian packages inside of a Subversion repository. They are intended to be used by Debian maintainers to simplify the error-prone actions with the svn, devscripts, and dpkg-dev utilities. - svn-inject: creates the initial directory structure of a Debian-SVN repository and imports existing packages - svn-upgrade: imports upstream changes into the upstream branch and updates the Debian trunk directory, merging and tagging as needed - svn-buildpackage: wrapper around dpkg-buildpackage (or other builders), exporting/merging/tagging source as needed - svn-do: exports a source, runs a command inside the exported source and, if the command succeeds, copies back the debian/ tree - uclean: removes redundant files from upstream source packages The package also includes a detailed HOWTO document.
