Usage: uscan [options] [dir ...] Process watch files in all .../debian/ subdirs of those listed (or the current directory if none listed) to check for upstream releases. Options: --no-conf, --noconf Don't read devscripts config files; must be the first option given --no-verbose Don't report verbose information. --verbose, -v Report verbose information. --debug, -vv Report verbose information including the downloaded web pages as processed to STDERR for debugging. --dehs Send DEHS style output (XML-type) to STDOUT, while send all other uscan output to STDERR. --no-dehs Use only traditional uscan output format (default) --download, -d Download the new upstream release (default) --force-download, -dd Download the new upstream release, even if up-to-date (may not overwrite the local file) --overwrite-download, -ddd Download the new upstream release, even if up-to-date (may overwrite the local file) --no-download, --nodownload Don't download and report information. Previously downloaded tarballs may be used. Change default to --skip-signature. --signature Download signature and verify (default) --no-signature Don't download signature but verify if already downloaded. --skip-signature Don't bother download signature nor verify it. --safe, --report avoid running unsafe scripts by skipping both the repacking of the downloaded package and the updating of the new source tree. Change default to --no-download and --skip-signature. --report-status (= --safe --verbose) --download-version VERSION Specify the version which the upstream release must match in order to be considered, rather than using the release with the highest version --download-debversion VERSION Specify the Debian package version to download the corresponding upstream release version. The dversionmangle and uversionmangle rules are considered. --download-current-version Download the currently packaged version --check-dirname-level N Check parent directory name? N=0 never check parent directory name N=1 only when uscan changes directory (default) N=2 always check parent directory name --check-dirname-regex REGEX What constitutes a matching directory name; REGEX is a Perl regular expression; the string `PACKAGE' will be replaced by the package name; see manpage for details (default: 'PACKAGE(-.+)?') --destdir Path of directory to which to download. --package PACKAGE Specify the package name rather than examining debian/changelog; must use --upstream-version and --watchfile with this option, no directory traversing will be performed, no actions (even downloading) will be carried out --upstream-version VERSION Specify the current upstream version in use rather than parsing debian/changelog to determine this --watchfile FILE Specify the watch file rather than using debian/watch; no directory traversing will be done in this case --bare Disable all site specific special case codes to perform URL redirections and page content alterations. --no-exclusion Disable automatic exclusion of files mentioned in debian/copyright field Files-Excluded and Files-Excluded-* --pasv Use PASV mode for FTP connections --no-pasv Don't use PASV mode for FTP connections (default) --no-symlink Don't call mk-origtargz --timeout N Specifies how much time, in seconds, we give remote servers to respond (default 20 seconds) --user-agent, --useragent Override the default user agent string --log Record md5sum changes of repackaging --help Show this message --version Show version information Options passed on to mk-origtargz: --symlink Create a correctly named symlink to downloaded file (default) --rename Rename instead of symlinking --repack Repack downloaded archives to change compression --compression [ gzip | bzip2 | lzma | xz ] When the upstream sources are repacked, use compression COMP for the resulting tarball (default: gzip) --copyright-file FILE Remove files matching the patterns found in FILE Default settings modified by devscripts configuration files: (none)
