GREP-EXCUSES(1) General Commands Manual GREP-EXCUSES(1) NAME grep-excuses - search the testing excuses files for a specific main- tainer SYNOPSIS grep-excuses [options] [maintainer|package] DESCRIPTION grep-excuses downloads the autoremovals and update_excuses.html files and greps them for the specified maintainer or package name. The wget package is required for this script. If no name is given on the com- mand line, first the environment variable DEBFULLNAME is used if it is defined, and failing that, the configuration variable described below is used. OPTIONS --no-conf, --noconf Do not read any configuration files. This can only be used as the first option given on the command-line. --wipnity, -w Get information from <https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php>. One or more package names must be given when using this option. --help Show a brief usage message. --version Show version and copyright information. --autopkgtests Investigate and show autopkgtest (ci.debian.net) failures in your packages but apparently caused by new versions of other packages trying to migrate. (--no-autopkgtests can be used to override GREP_EXCUSES_AUTOPKGTESTS.) --no-autoremovals Investigate and show only testing propagation excuses, not au- toremovals. --experimental, -e Print pseudo-excuses for manual migration from experimental to unstable. --debug Print debugging output to stderr (including url(s) fetched). CONFIGURATION VARIABLES The two configuration files /etc/devscripts.conf and ~/.devscripts are sourced in that order to set configuration variables. Command line op- tions can be used to override configuration file settings. Environment variable settings are ignored for this purpose. The currently recog- nised variable is: GREP_EXCUSES_MAINTAINER The default maintainer, email or package to grep for if none is specified on the command line. GREP_EXCUSES_AUTOPKGTESTS Boolean: whether to show autopkgtest failures in other packages. See --autopkgtests.
