Description: Debian package upload tool
DPut is the Debian Package Upload Tool. The ‘dput’ command uploads one or more
packages to the Debian archive.
.
This package also includes the ‘dcut’ command, which can generate and / or
upload a commands file for the Debian FTP archive upload queue.
.
‘dput’ runs some tests to verify that the package is compliant with Debian
Policy. It can also run Lintian on the package before upload, and/or run
‘dinstall’ in dry-run-mode, when using an appropriate upload method.
.
DPut is intended mainly for Debian maintainers, although it can also be useful
for people maintaining local APT repositories.
