| 21 | .SH NAME | |
| 22 | dpkg\-name \- rename Debian packages to full package names | |
| 23 | . | |
| 24 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| 25 | .B dpkg\-name | |
| 26 | .RI [ option ...] | |

| 30 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 31 | .PP | |
| 32 | This manual page documents the | |
| 33 | .B dpkg\-name | |
| 34 | program which provides an easy way to rename | |
| 35 | .B Debian | |
| 36 | packages into their full package names. A full package name consists of | |
| 37 | .IB package _ version _ architecture . package-type | |
| 38 | as specified in the control file of the package. The \fIversion\fP part | |
| 39 | of the filename | |
| 40 | consists of the upstream version information optionally followed by a | |
| 41 | hyphen and the revision information. The \fIpackage-type\fP part comes | |
| 42 | from that field if present or fallbacks to \fBdeb\fP. | |
| 43 | . | |
| 44 | .SH OPTIONS | |
| 45 | .TP | |
| 46 | .BR \-a ", " \-\-no\-architecture | |
| 47 | The destination filename will not have the architecture information. | |
| 48 | .TP | |
| 49 | .BR \-k ", " \-\-symlink | |
| 50 | Create a symlink, instead of moving. | |
| 51 | .TP | |
| 52 | .BR \-o ", " \-\-overwrite | |
| 53 | Existing files will be overwritten if they have the same name as the | |
| 54 | destination filename. | |
| 55 | .TP | |
| 56 | .BR \-s ", " \-\-subdir " [\fIdir\fP]" | |
| 57 | Files will be moved into a subdirectory. If the directory given as argument exists | |
| 58 | the files will be moved into that directory otherwise the name of | |
| 59 | the target directory is extracted from the section field in the | |
| 60 | control part of the package. The target directory will be | |
| 61 | «unstable/binary\-\fIarchitecture\fP/\fIsection\fP». | |
| 62 | If the section is not found in the control, then \fBno\-section\fP is assumed, | |
| 63 | and in this case, as well as for sections \fBnon\-free\fP and \fBcontrib\fP | |
| 64 | the target directory is «\fIsection\fP/binary\-\fIarchitecture\fP». | |
| 65 | The section field is not required so a lot of packages will find their way | |
| 66 | to the \fBno\-section\fP area. | |
| 67 | Use this option with care, it's messy. | |
| 68 | .TP | |
| 69 | .BR \-c ", " \-\-create\-dir | |
| 70 | This option can used together with the \fB\-s\fP option. If a target | |
| 71 | directory isn't found it will be created automatically. | |
| 72 | .B Use this option with care. | |
| 73 | .TP | |
| 74 | .BR \-? ", " \-\-help | |
| 75 | Show the usage message and exit. | |
| 76 | .TP | |
| 77 | .BR \-v ", " \-\-version | |
| 78 | Show the version and exit. | |
| 79 | . | |
| 80 | .SH BUGS | |
| 81 | Some packages don't follow the name structure | |
| 82 | .IB package _ version _ architecture .deb\fR.\fP | |
| 83 | Packages renamed by \fBdpkg\-name\fP | |
| 84 | will follow this structure. Generally this will have no impact on how | |
| 85 | packages are installed by | |
| 86 | .BR dselect (1)/ dpkg (1), | |
| 87 | but other installation tools | |
| 88 | might depend on this naming structure. | |
| 89 | . | |
| 90 | .SH EXAMPLES | |
| 91 | .TP | |
| 92 | .B dpkg\-name bar\-foo.deb | |
| 93 | The file \fBbar\-foo.deb\fP will be renamed to bar\-foo_1.0\-2_i386.deb or | |
| 94 | something similar (depending on whatever information is in the control | |
| 95 | part of \fBbar\-foo.deb\fP). | |
| 96 | .TP | |
| 97 | .B find /root/debian/ \-name '*.deb' | xargs \-n 1 dpkg\-name \-a | |
| 98 | All files with the extension \fBdeb\fP in the directory /root/debian and its | |
| 99 | subdirectory's will be renamed by \fBdpkg\-name\fP if required into names | |
| 100 | with no architecture information. | |
| 101 | .TP | |
| 102 | .B find \-name '*.deb' | xargs \-n 1 dpkg\-name \-a \-o \-s \-c | |
| 103 | .B Don't do this. | |
| 104 | Your archive will be messed up completely because a lot of packages | |
| 105 | don't come with section information. | |
| 106 | .B Don't do this. | |
| 107 | .TP | |
| 108 | .B dpkg\-deb \-\-build debian\-tmp && dpkg\-name \-o \-s .. debian\-tmp.deb | |
| 109 | This can be used when building new packages. | |
