dd-list

NAME

dd-list - nicely list .deb packages and their maintainers

SYNOPSIS

R dd-list [ -hiuV ] [ --help ] [ --stdin ] R [ --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

R -h , --help
Print brief help message.
R -i , --stdin
Read package names from the standard input, instead of taking them from the command line. Package names are whitespace delimited.
R -d , --dctrl
Read package information 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.
R -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.
R -nou , --nouploaders
Only list package Maintainers, do not list Uploaders.
R -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).
R -V , --version
Print the version.
