Option version requires an argument Usage: mk-origtargz [*options*] foo-1.0.tar.gz mk-origtargz --help Options: Metadata options: The following options extend or replace information taken from debian/. --package *package* Use *package* as the name of the Debian source package, and do not require or use a debian/ directory. This option can only be used together with --version. The default is to use the package name of the first entry in debian/changelog. -v, --version *version* Use *version* as the version of the package. This needs to be the upstream version portion of a full Debian version, i.e. no Debian revision, no epoch. The default is to use the upstream portion of the version of the first entry in debian/changelog. --exclude-file *glob* Remove files matching the given *glob* from the tarball, as if it was listed in Files-Excluded. --copyright-file *filename* Remove files matching the patterns found in *filename*, which should have the format of a Debian copyright file (Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ to be precise). Errors parsing that file are silently ignored, exactly as is the case with debian/copyright. Unmatched patterns will emit a warning so the user can verify whether it is correct. If there are multiple patterns which match a file, only the last one will count as being matched. Both the --exclude-file and --copyright-file options amend the list of patterns found in debian/copyright. If you do not want to read that file, you will have to use --package. Action options: These options specify what exactly mk-origtargz should do. The options --copy, --rename and --symlink are mutually exclusive. --symlink Make the resulting file a symlink to the given original file. (This is the default behaviour.) If the file has to be modified (because it is a zip, or xpi file, because of --repack or Files-Excluded), this option behaves like --copy. --copy Make the resulting file a copy of the original file (unless it has to be modified, of course). --rename Rename the original file. If the file has to be modified (because it is a zip, or xpi file, because of --repack or Files-Excluded), this implies that the original file is deleted afterwards. --repack If the given file is not compressed using the desired format (see --compression), recompress it. -S, --repack-suffix *suffix* If the file has to be modified, because of Files-Excluded, append *suffix* to the upstream version. -c, --component *componentname* Use <componentname> as the component name for the secondary upstream tarball. Set *componentname* as the component name. This is used only for the secondary upstream tarball of the Debian source package. Then *packagename_version.orig-componentname.tar.gz* is created. --compression [ gzip | bzip2 | lzma | xz ] If --repack is used, or if the given file is a zip or xpi file, ensure that the resulting file is compressed using the given scheme. The default is gzip. -C, --directory *directory* Put the resulting file in the given directory. --unzipopt *options* Add the extra options to use with the unzip command such as -a, -aa, and -b.
