svn-buildpackage (formerly svn-devscripts) contains tools that help to automate the task of maintaining Debian packages inside of a Subversion repository. They are intended to be used by Debian maintainers to simplify the error-prone actions with the svn, devscripts, and dpkg-dev utilities.

  • svn-inject: creates the initial directory structure of a Debian-SVN repository and imports existing packages
  • svn-upgrade: imports upstream changes into the upstream branch and updates the Debian trunk directory, merging and tagging as needed
  • svn-buildpackage: wrapper around dpkg-buildpackage (or other builders), exporting/merging/tagging source as needed
  • svn-do: exports a source, runs a command inside the exported source and, if the command succeeds, copies back the debian/ tree
  • uclean: removes redundant files from upstream source packages
