dd-list

NAME

dd-list - nicely list .deb packages and their maintainers

SYNOPSIS

dd-list [-hiuV] [--help] [--stdin] [--dctrl] [--version] [--uploaders] [package...]

DESCRIPTION

dd-list produces nicely formatted lists of Debian (.deb) packages and their maintainers.

Input is a list of source or binary package names on the command line (or the standard input if --stdin is given). Output is a list of the following format, where package names are source packages by default:

J. Random Developer <jrandom@debian.org>

j-random-package j-random-other

Diana Hacker <diana@example.org>

fun-package more-fun-package

This is useful when you want, for example, to produce a list of packages that need to attention from their maintainers, e.g., to be rebuilt when a library version transition happens.

OPTIONS

-h,--help

Print brief help message.

-i,--stdin

Read package names from the standard input, instead of taking them from the command line. Package names are whitespace delimited.

-d,--dctrl

Read package list from standard input in the format of a Debian package control file. This includes the status file, or output of apt-cache. This is the fastest way to use dd-list, as it uses the maintainer information from the input instead of looking up the maintainer of each listed package.

If no Source: line is given, the Package: name is used for output, which might be a binary package name.

-u,--uploaders

Also list developers who are named as uploaders of packages, not only the maintainers; this is the default behaviour, use --nouploaders to prevent it. Uploaders are indicated with "(U)" appended to the package name.

-nou,--nouploaders

Only list package Maintainers, do not list Uploaders.

-b,--print-binary

Use binary package names in the output instead of source package names (has no effect with --dctrl if the Package: line contains source package names).

-V,--version

Print the version.
