DUPLOAD.CONF.5POD(dupload.DebianDUPLOAD.CONF.5POD(dupload.conf.5)



NAME
       dupload.conf - configuration file for dupload

DESCRIPTION
       The configuration file is rather straight forward Perl
       code as it's included by the dupload script via "do $con-
       fig".  The config file is read as Perl code!

       Any dupload.conf must begin with "package config;" because
       "config" is the namespace expected by dupload.

       For examples of the configuration please refer to the
       global configuration file /etc/dupload.conf.

       It contains associative arrays, each indexed by the nick-
       name (see --to option of dupload), for the following
       items:

       fqdn [required]
           The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the nick-
           name.

       method [optional]
           The transfer method. The available methods are: "ftp"
           (which is the default), "scp", "scpb" and "rsync"
           (over SSH).

           If you are using an upload queue, use FTP because it's
           fast.  If you are using an authenticated host, always
           use scp or rsync via SSH, because FTP transmits the
           password in clear text.

           For scp and rsync to work properly, you have to setup
           the remote and local host to establish a ssh/slogin
           connection using .shosts/.rhosts or the files in
           ~/.ssh/. If you don't want or can't do that, you may
           find the scpb more convenient since it uploads in
           batch, reducing the number of password prompts.

           The only major caveat of the rsync and scpb options is
           that the files are processed in a batch mode, i.e. not
           separately, so in case of an error dupload won't be
           able to detect which part of the transfer failed, and
           just delete the .upload file completely.

       login [optional]
           The account name used to log into the FTP server. The
           default is "anonymous", should work with firewall
           logins too.

       incoming [required]
           Incoming directory, the directory we try to upload to.

       queuedir [optional]
           The directory we move the uploaded files to (after
           successful upload to incoming. Usually necessary only
           with some special upload queues.

       mailto [optional]
           Email address where the announcement about stable
           packages is sent.

       mailtx [optional]
           Email address where the announcement about unstable
           and experimental packages is sent.

       cc [optional]
           Email address where to send a copy address of the
           announcement.

       fullname [optional]
           Your full name, one that should appear in the
           announcement;

           If you leave this setting empty, the default will
           depend on your mail system. Usually the full name will
           be copied from the GCOS field in /etc/passwd.

       visibleuser [optional]
           Your username that should appear in the announcement.
           Defaults to "getlogin()".

       visiblename [optional]
           The host/domain name that appears as the part to the
           right of the @ character in the from-part of the
           announcement. Defaults to the value your local MTA
           likes.

       passive [optional]
           Set the passive mode for FTP transfers. Since dupload
           uses Net::FTP, you can also use the environment vari-
           able FTP_PASSIVE.

       dinstall_runs [optional]
           Tells dupload that the remote host runs dinstall (or
           equivalent) so that dupload won't send a duplicate
           announcement mail.  The default is 0 (false), set it
           to 1 to enable it.

       archive [optional]
           If set to 0 (false), adds a "X-No-Archive: yes" header
           in the announcement.  The default is 1 (true).

       The configuration files also contain the following global
       variables:

       default_host [optional]
           The default host to upload to. The default value of
           this variable is unset.

       no_parentheses_to_fullname [optional]
           Prevents dupload to add parentheses around the full
           name when making mail announcements. Default is 0
           (false), set it to 1 to enable it.

HOOKS
       Hooks are a powerful way to add actions which will be run
       before or after a dupload (like the preinst and postinst
       script of dpkg).

       You have two sort of hooks: pre-upload and post-upload.
       Both are simple shell commands (executed by "sh -c" so you
       can use any shell tricks).  Pre-uploads are always run
       (even in dry mode) and stop dupload if they fail (failure
       being mesured by the hook's exit status). Post-uploads are
       only run when you are not in dry mode and only if the
       uploading succeeded.

       Both sorts of hooks are run for a given category: changes,
       sourcepackage, package, file or deb.

       changes
           This hook is run once per "changes" file (given as an
           argument to dupload) with the filename as its parame-
           ter.

       sourcepackage
           This hook is run once per "changes" file with the
           source package name and its version as its two parame-
           ters.

       package
           This hook is run once per binary package (a "deb"
           file) with the package name and its version as its two
           parameters.

       file
           This hook is run once per uploaded file, with the file
           name as its parameter.

       deb This hook is run once per binary package (a "deb"
           file) with the filename as its parameter.

       Syntax

       Hooks are defined in two Perl hashes, %preupload and %pos-
       tupload, each indexed by category. In addition to the
       global hashes, each host entry has two fields with the
       same names, for the host-specific hooks.

       The shell command will be substituted first: %1 will be
       replace by the first argument, etc.

       Per-host or global hooks

       A hook can be global (for all the hosts) or it can be for
       a specific host.  If there is no specific hook, for a
       given category, the global one is used.

       Examples

       This one runs lintian before uploading. It is global and
       guarantee that you will always upload lintian-free pack-
       ages (thanks to lintian return status).

            $preupload{'deb'} = 'lintian -v -i %1';

       This one just display the name and versions of success-
       fully uploaded packages.

            $postupload{'package'} = 'echo PACKAGE %1 %2 uploaded';

       Unlike the two others, this one is specific to one host,
       master.

            $cfg{master}{preupload}{'changes'} = "echo Uploading %1";


LOCATION
       The configuration is searched as following:

               /etc/dupload.conf
               ~/.dupload.conf

       The latest entries override the former.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       Those of Net::FTP for the FTP method:

        FTP_FIREWALL
        FTP_PASSIVE
