NAME
pristine-gz - regenerate pristine gz files SYNOPSIS
pristine-gz [-vdk] gendelta file.gz delta pristine-gz [-vdk] gengz delta file DESCRIPTION
This is a complement to the pristine-tar(1) command. Normally you don't need to run it by hand, since pristine-tar calls it as necessary to handle .tar.gz files. pristine-gz gendelta takes the specified gz file, and generates a small binary delta file that can later be used by pristine-gz gengz to recreate the original file. pristine-gz gengz takes the specified delta file, and compresses the specified input file (which must be identical to the contents of the original gz file). The resulting file will be identical to the original gz file used to create the delta. The approach used to regenerate the original gz file is to figure out how it was produced -- what compression level was used, whether it was built with GNU gzip(1) or with a library or BSD version, whether the --rsyncable option was used, etc, and to reproduce this build environment when regenerating the gz. This approach will work for about 99.5% of cases. One example of a case it cannot currently support is a gz file that has been produced by appending together multiple gz files. For the few where it doesn't work, a binary diff will be included in the delta between the closest regneratable gz file and the original. In the worst case, the diff will include the entire content of the original gz file, resulting in a larger than usual delta. If the delta is much larger than usual, pristine-gz will print a warning. If the delta filename is "-", pristine-gz reads or writes it to stdio. OPTIONS
-v --verbose Verbose mode, show each command that is run. -d --debug Debug mode. -k --keep Don't clean up the temporary directory on exit. ENVIRONMENT
TMPDIR Specifies a location to place temporary files, other than the default. AUTHOR

NAME
gbp-create-remote-repo - Create remote repositories SYNOPSIS
gbp-create-remote-repo [ --verbose ] [ --color=[auto|on|off] ] [ --remote-url-pattern=url-pattern ] [ --remote-name=name ] [ --template- dir=directory ] [ --remote-config=config ] [ --[no-]pristine-tar ] [ --debian-branch=branch_name ] [ --upstream-branch=branch_name ] [ --[no-]track ] DESCRIPTION
gbp-create-remote-repo creates a repository at a remote location via ssh and pushes the local repository into it. It then sets up remote branch tracking so you can use gbp-pull to update your repository from there. Before performing any action on the remote location it will print the remote URL and ask for confirmation. Note: By default the remote repositories are created in the collab-maint repository on git.debian.org. OPTIONS
--remote-url-pattern=pattern Where to create the remote repository. The part %(pkg)s will be replaced by the package name. --remote-name=name What name git will use when refering to that repository, e.g. 'origin'. --template-dir=directory Template directory to pass to git init on the remote side. This can be used to customize the remote repository, e.g. to set up hooks. --remote-config=config Name of a config file section in gbp.conf that specifies the above paramters. See [XRef to GBP.MAN.GBP.CONF] manpage for details. --debian-branch=branch_name The branch in the Git repository the Debian package is being developed on, default is master. --upstream-branch=branch_name The branch in the Git repository the upstream sources are put onto. Default is upstream. --pristine-tar Whether to push the pristine tar branch. --verbose -v verbose execution --color=[auto|on|off] Whether to use colored output. --[no-]track Whether to set up branch tracking for the debian, upstream and pristine-tar branches. CONFIGURATION FILES
Several gbp.conf files are parsed to set defaults for the above commandline arguments. See the [XRef to GBP.MAN.GBP.CONF] manpage for details. SEE ALSO
