Debian packages reviewing tool.
revu-report is a reviewing tool from the revu-tools package, aimed
to helping reviewers of Debian packages in their task. revu-report uses
revu-build and revu-orig to generate a full report in the current
folder.
Among the informations revu-report gives are:
- •
- Whether the package is a Debian-native ;
- •
- Whether the package contains a usable debian/watch file ;
- •
- Whether new versions of the program are available, using the debian/watch
file with uscan ;
- •
- Whether the md5 sums of the upstream tarball and the orig.tar.gz are
identical, and whether this is normal or not ;
- •
- Whether there is a diff between the extracted upstream tarball and
orig.tar.gz.
- •
- Whether the package fails to build from source in pbuilder ;
- •
- Whether lintian and linda are happy with this package ;
- •
- Whether running debuild -S -sa on this package generates files in
the diff outside of debian/.
- --help | -h
- Show informations about the program and the usage.
- upstream
tarball
- Indicate what file to use as upstream tarball. This is optional since
revu-report can download the upstream tarball using debian/watch and/or
detect its presence automatically in the folder.
- dsc file
- Indicate what dsc file to use. This is optional since revu-report can
detect the dsc file automatically in the folder. Note that this argument
can only be given if the tarball was given as first one.
