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.
