dcmd

NAME

dcmd - expand file lists of .dsc/.changes files in the command line

SYNOPSIS

dcmd [command] [changes-file|dsc-file] [...]

DESCRIPTION

dcmd replaces any reference to a .dsc or .changes file in the command line with the list of files in its 'Files' section, plus the file itself. It allows easy manipulation of all the files involved in an upload (for changes files) or a source package (for dsc files).

If command is omitted (that is the first argument is an existing .dsc or .changes file), the expanded list of files is printed to stdout, one file by line. Useful for usage in backticks.

EXAMPLES

Copy the result of a build to another machine:

 $ dcmd scp rcs_5.7-23_amd64.changes elegiac:/tmp
 rcs_5.7-23.dsc                  100%  490     0.5KB/s   00:00
 rcs_5.7-23.diff.gz              100%   12KB  11.7KB/s   00:00
 rcs_5.7-23_amd64.deb            100%  363KB 362.7KB/s   00:00
 rcs_5.7-23_amd64.changes        100% 1095     1.1KB/s   00:00
 $
 

Check the contents of a source package:

 $ dcmd md5sum rcs_5.7-23.dsc 
 8fd09ea9654cda128f8d5c337d3b8de7  rcs_5.7.orig.tar.gz
 f0ceeae96603e823eacba6721a30b5c7  rcs_5.7-23.diff.gz
 5241db1e231b1f43ae5514b63d2523f8  rcs_5.7-23.dsc
 $
