NAME
       abump - bump pkgver in an APKBUILD file

SYNOPSIS
       abump [-s CVE-1,...] [-m MESSAGE] [-f ISSUE] [-p REMOTE] [-b|--branch]
       [-k|--keep] [-r|--rootbld] PKGNAME-1.2.3

DESCRIPTION
       abump updates the pkgver in an APKBUILD file, updates its checksums,
       rebuilds it, and finally creates a new commit with the changes
       resulting.

       abump looks for the specified package in nested directories inside the
       current working directory, assuming a layout like that of the aports
       repository.

           Include the given MESSAGE in the commit message body.

       -f, --fixes ISSUE
           Include Fixes #ISSUE in the commit message. This will close the
           upstream issue when the commit is merged into the aports master
           branch.

       -p, --push REMOTE
           Push the commit and resulting changes to the specified REMOTE (e.g.
           origin).

       -b, --branch
           Create a git branch from HEAD before normal operation.

       -k, --keep
           Keep existing packages.

       -r, --rootbld
           Build package in a clean chroot using abuild rootbld instead of
           abuild all.

           Print help information and exit.
