💖 BOTCH-BUILDGRAPH2PACKAGES 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the botch tools corner of the manual pages, section 1, and today's main character is botch-buildgraph2packages — the lil glowy tool whose whole job is convert buildgraph to packages. yes. that's it. that's the gig. she's a converter and she's slaying at it 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

botch-buildgraph2packages [-h] [-v] buildgraph.xml Packages

like, you hand her a buildgraph and a Packages file and she just goes. no drama. no cap. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea 🍓: you give her a buildgraph in GraphML format, plus a Packages file, and she outputs all the binary packages in deb822 format that the build graph contains in its installation sets.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. she looks at what's in those installation sets and she hands you back the binary packages, formatted all nice and deb822. iconic behaviour, honestly 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -v, --verbose — be verbose. she'll tell you what's going on instead of being mysterious about it. lowkey helpful when you're like "wait what is happening" 😭
  • -h, --help — print help message. she'll explain herself. very healthy communication 💖

💀 BUGS 💀

found something cursed? not me being the bearer of bad news, but — go look at <http://bugs.debian.org/botch>. that's where the bug reports live, bestie 🐛
