NAME
ebump - Gentoo: Ebuild revision bumper
SYNTAX
ebump [option] <packag-name-version]>
DESCRIPTION
ebump bumps the revision of a particular ebuild, and all auxiliary files in the files/ directory that have a matching version suffix.
By default, the all new revision files will be added to the VCS.
You must stand in the directory of the ebuild to be bumped.
OPTIONS
-C
-V
-v
-q
-a
-d
-n-vcs
-version
-verbose
-quiet
-n-auxfiles
--delet-old
-
Delete old revision and old auxiliary files from VCS. This is
dangerous and should only be used if you know exactly what you are
doing, because
1) the old revision may be stable on a different architecture than the one you are working on.
2) the auxiliary files may be required by other versions of the ebuild.
3) the new revision should usually undergo a period of testing before being marked stable.
CONFIGURATION
/etc/gentoolkit/ebump.conf
~/.gentoo/ebump.conf
-
From these files, ebump will load the settings
opt_verbosity (default 1)- verbosity level -10
opt_add_vcs (default y)- add new files to VCS
opt_bump_auxfiles (default y)- bump auxiliary files in files/
opt_delete_old (default n)- delete old revision (DANGEROUS!)
