via arbitrary 'sed' expressions.
Backport relevant patches can be embedded in source packages for use with
-backport-dsc. The distribution name (see --target-dsitribution) serves as an
+backport-dsc. The distribution name (see --target-distribution) serves as an
identifier to search for patches in the source package that shall be applied
for a particular distribution. For packages using format the 3.0 (quilt),
backport-dsc will look for debian/patches/series-<distname> and append it to
--mod-control <expression>
sed expression to modify debian/control. The option can be given multiple
- times and all expressions wil be passed to sed in the order of appearance.
+ times and all expressions will be passed to sed in the order of appearance.
This can be used to, e.g. change build or runtime dependencies.
--no-backport-patches
backport and identify herself as the maintainer.
-s <string>, --version-suffix <string>
- Version suffix that will be appended to the orginal source package version,
+ Version suffix that will be appended to the original source package version,
ideally indicating the backport target distribution. The resulting package
version will follow this schema:
- <originalversion>~<suffix>+<digit>
+ <originalversion><prefix><suffix>+<digit>
- e.g.: 1.2.3-4~bpo50+1
+ e.g.: 1.2.3-4~bpo60+1 with default <prefix>=~
+
+-p <string>, --version-prefix <string>
+ Version prefix that will be prepended to the backport version. By default it
+ is ~ but want to be changed (e.g. to +) for forward-porting to next releases.
