πŸ’– DEB-JANITOR(1) β€” the manual page, but make it a group chat πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to deb-janitor, a whole command-line moment for the Debian Janitor service ✨ (that's the manual name btw, we're just vibing in the General Commands Manual section). Grab a boba, we're doing Unix.

🌸 NAME 🌸

deb-janitor β€” it's how you talk to the Debian Janitor service, fr fr 🫢

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Like, here's every single way you can summon her. No cap, all six:

deb-janitor status CAMPAIGN SOURCE?

deb-janitor diff CAMPAIGN SOURCE?

deb-janitor schedule CAMPAIGN SOURCE?

deb-janitor merge [--force] CAMPAIGN

deb-janitor review CAMPAIGN [--source SOURCE]
rejected|approved|reschedule COMMENT?
yes the review one wraps onto a second line, she's just like that πŸ’…

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

deb-janitor is a command-line client for the Debian Janitor service, and it interacts with the API. It currently lets you do two main-character things: retrieve the diff for specific packages, or schedule new runs. That's the whole vibe check πŸ”₯

CAMPAIGN is the name of one of the campaigns supported by the janitor. The common values include lintian-fixes and multiarch-fixes. For a full list, go look at the homepage (iykyk) πŸ‘‘

SOURCE is the name of a source package. And here's the slay part: if you don't specify a source package name, the source name gets retrieved from debian/changelog in the current directory. So she'll just figure it out for you. Iconic behaviour honestly 🌈

πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

  • -h, --help β€” shows this help message and exits. Your girl is helpful like that πŸ’–
  • -v, --verbose β€” outputs more information. More words, more lore, more everything ✨
  • --api-url β€” overrides the API endpoint to communicate with, rather than using the main Debian Janitor instance. Like, e.g. --api-url=https://janitor.kali.org/api/. Not me switching up the whole endpoint πŸ’…

πŸ“ EXAMPLES πŸ“

okay these are the actual receipts, copy them character for character bestie:

$ deb-janitor schedule dulwich lintian-fixes

Merge lintian-fixes for a package

$ cd a56
$ deb-janitor merge lintian-fixes
Adding debian-janitor remote
the way that debcheckout and cd are just casually in there before the merge… we love a setup step πŸ’œ
