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:
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 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.
-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).
