Package: dput (0.9.5.1)

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.
