Homepage: https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/dput
Description-en: Debian package upload tool
dput allows you to put one or more Debian packages into the archive. This
package also includes a dcut utility which can be used to generate and / or
upload a commands file for the Debian FTP archive upload queue.
.
dput includes some tests to verify that the package is policy-compliant.
It offers the possibility to run lintian before the upload. It can also
run dinstall in dry-run-mode, when having used an appropriate upload method.
This is very useful to see if the upload will pass dinstall sanity checks
in the next run.
.
It is intended mainly for Debian maintainers only, although it can
also be useful for people maintaining local APT repositories.
