BOTCH-FILTER-SRC-BUILDS-FOR(1)

💖 BOTCH-FILTER-SRC-BUILDS-FOR 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the botch tools manual set (manual section 1, obviously), and it's literally just one tiny little tool that does one tiny little job and does it flawlessly. main character energy tbh 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

botch-filter-src-builds-for — filter a Sources file for the packages building for a certain architecture

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

botch-filter-src-builds-for [options] inSources.. architecture
outSources

so you give it your Sources file(s), you tell it which architecture you're obsessed with rn, and you point it at where the output should go. simple. clean. iconic. 💅

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

bestie listen. you've got a Sources control file, right? it's got stanzas for every source package. and you're like "girl, I only care about the ones that build binary dependent packages for a certain architecture."

that's what this does. ✨

It filters a Sources control file, such that it only contains the stanzas for those source packages which build binary dependent packages for a certain architecture. no cap, that's the whole deal. everything else gets yeeted. 🗑️💖

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, --help — Show help. like, it tells you how to use it. adorable of it honestly 🫶
• --verbose — Be verbose. she will talk. she will tell you things. let her cook 💬

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

ok so here's the slay scenario: find all source packages that build architecture dependent binary packages for armhf 🧚

botch-filter-src-builds-for Sources armhf - \
        | dose-builddebcheck --successes --explain-minimal --deb-native-arch=amd64 --deb-host-arch=armhf Packages_amd64 Packages_armhf \
        | sed -n 's/^\s\+success: src://p'

see that? Sources goes in, armhf is the arch we're gagged over, the - means "dump it to stdout bestie", then we pipe it straight into dose-builddebcheck with --successes --explain-minimal --deb-native-arch=amd64 --deb-host-arch=armhf Packages_amd64 Packages_armhf, and then sed -n 's/^\s\+success: src://p' rips out the pretty names at the end. a whole pipeline. a whole lewk. 🔥
