NAME

dpt-new-upstream - list packages with newer upstream versions

SYNOPSIS

dpt new-upstream [--help|-h] [--man|-m] [--limit|-l PACKAGES_LIST_FILE]

DESCRIPTION

dpt new-upstream queries UDD's DMD for newer upstream versions, compares the results to the local git clones, categorizes the found packages, and outputs tables by category. If this reminds you of PET -- you're not wrong to assume that there was some inspiration taken from there.

OPTIONS

--help|-h

Show this help.

--man|-m

Show full manpage.

--limit|-l PACKAGES_LIST_FILE

Output the intersection of the full result set and of the set of packages found in "PACKAGES_LIST_FILE".

"PACKAGES_LIST_FILE" must be in YAML format used by Tails build manifests, for example:

<https://nightly.tails.boum.org/build_Tails_ISO_stable/lastSuccessful/archive/latest.build-manifest>

Known issue: the current implementation assumes that every binary package on this list is built from an identically named source package.

CONFIGURATION

dpt new-upstream uses the "DPT_PACKAGES" environment variable.

See dpt-config(5) for details.
