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.
