# dpt-uscan(1)

a tiny wrapper around "uscan" and "gbp import-orig"

## NAME

dpt-uscan - a tiny wrapper around "uscan" and "gbp import-orig"

## SYNOPSIS

**dpt uscan**

## DESCRIPTION

**dpt uscan** calls [**uscan**(1)](/uscan/1.md) and then **gbp import-orig** if a newer upstream version was downloaded.

It is similar to [**dpt-import-orig**(1)](/dpt-import-orig/1.md), but without the upstream repository integration.

Running **dpt uscan** is equivalent to

```
 % uscan
 % gbp import-orig upstream-tarball
```

with the location of the newly downloaded tarball detected from uscan's **--dehs** output, and therefore is not hardcoded to *../*, but depending on uscan's configuration.

## SEE ALSO

[**dpt-import-orig**(1)](/dpt-import-orig/1.md), [**uscan**(1)](/uscan/1.md), [**devscripts.conf**(5)](/devscripts.conf/5.md), [**gbp-import-orig**(1)](/gbp-import-orig/1.md)
