NAME

revu-report - Debian packages reviewing tool

SYNOPSIS

revu-report [ --help | -h ] [ upstream tarball [ dsc file ] ]

DESCRIPTION

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/.

OPTIONS

--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.
