31 Description: Debian package upload tool
32 dput allows you to put one or more Debian packages into the archive. This
33 package also includes a dcut utility which can be used to generate and / or
34 upload a commands file for the Debian FTP archive upload queue.
36 dput includes some tests to verify that the package is policy-compliant.
37 It offers the possibility to run lintian before the upload. It can also
38 run dinstall in dry-run-mode, when having used an appropriate upload method.
39 This is very useful to see if the upload will pass dinstall sanity checks
42 It is intended mainly for Debian maintainers only, although it can
43 also be useful for people maintaining local apt repositories.
