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.
