NAME
ebump - Gentoo: Ebuild revision bumper
SYNTAX
ebump [option] <package-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
--no-vcs
-
Do not add new files to VCS.
-V
--version
-
Display version information and exit.
-v
--verbose
-
Increase verbosity level. May be used more than once.
-q
--quiet
-
Do not output any non-essential information.
-a
--no-auxfiles
-
don't bump auxfiles (files/*)
-c
--no-changelog
-
do not update ChangeLog (via echangelog)
-m <ChangeLog text>
--message <ChangeLog text>
-
Specifies the message to add to the ChangeLog, instead of the standard
placeholder.
-d
--delete-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.
