NAME
cape-source - create source packages and archives

SYNOPSIS
cape-source [options] tarball [spec]

DESCRIPTION
This command is used to turn a source tarball into a debian or rpm source package suitable for uploading. It can optionally also post the resulting source package to an archive directory that it will then index. There is a user configuration file in ~/.pkgbuildrc, which also holds the name of the source archive directory that can be shared with ubuilder. A valid source tarball is generally considered to be in the form pkgname-version.tar.gz (though bz2 and others will be added...), and cleanly unpacks to a "pkgname-version" directory. The spec is optional for RPM's, as they may contain specs in the original source tarball directly. For building a debian source package, the spec is the root of a directory containing a valid "debian/" subdirectory.
