NAME
dd-list - nicely list .deb packages and their maintainers
SYNOPSIS
dd-list [-hiusV] [--help] [--stdin]
[--sources Sources_file]
[--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.
- -z, --uncompress
-
Try to uncompress the --dctrl input before parsing. Supported compression
formats are gz, bzip2 or xz.
- -s, --sources Sources_file
-
Read package information from the specified Sources_files. This can be
given multiple times. The files can be gz, bzip2 or xz compressed. If the
filename does not end in .gz, .bz2 or .xz, then the -z
option must be used.
-
If no Sources_files are specified, dd-list will ask apt-get for
an appropriate set of sources (if apt is at version greater than 1.1.8),
else any files matching /var/lib/apt/lists/*_source_Sources will be used.
- -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.
