# svn-inject(1)

puts a Debian source package into Subversion repository

## NAME

svn-inject - puts a Debian source package into Subversion repository

## SYNOPSIS

**svn-inject \[***options***\]**\
       *package***.dsc**\
       *repository\_URL*

## OPTIONS

**svn-inject** accepts the following options on the command-line:

- **-h**

  print the help menu

- **-v**

  Make the command output verbose

  Default: Off.

- **-q**

  Hide less important messages

  Default: Off.

- **-l**

  Layout type. 1 (default) means package/{trunk,tags,branches,...} scheme, 2 means the {trunk,tags,branches,...}/package scheme.

  Default: 1

- **-t directory**

  Specify the directory where the .orig.tar.gz files are stored on the local machine.

  Default: Off.

**-d** \| **--do-like=directory**

Looks at the working directory of some other package and uses its base URL, tarball storage directory and similar checkout target directory.

Default: Off.

- **-c number**

  Checkout nothing (0), trunk directory (1) or everything (2) when the work is done.

  Default: 1

- **-o**

  Only keep modified files under SVN control (including the debian/ directory), track only parts of upstream branch

  Default: Off.

- **-O** \| **--no-branches**

  Do not create the branches subdirectory at all. This works in a similar way to **-o** but all changes on upstream files (e.g. meta changes like updating the config.guess and config.sub files) are ignored and the upstream branch is not used.

  Default: use branches/.

- **-s**

  By default, **svn-inject** used to create .svn/deb-layout after an inject operation if a checkout followed the inject. Since version 0.6.22 this behaviour is deprecated.

  With this parameter **svn-inject** will replicate the old behaviour.

  This option was provided since it can be useful when creating a local override file.

  Default: Off.

- **-setprops** **-set-props**

  Set svn-bp:\* props on the debian directory automatically.

  Default: Off.
