💖 drt-tools-...rsion-skew(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the General Commands Manual, and the command we're talking about is literally called drt-tools-nmu-version-skew. yes, the filename up top is doing that whole cryptic abbreviation thing (drt-tools-...rsion-skew), but the real one is nmu-version-skew and that's what we're rolling with. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

drt-tools-nmu-version-skew — Prepare rebuilds for version skew in Multi-Arch: same packages

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

drt-tools nmu-version-skew [--bp] [-s|--suite] [-v|--verbose]... [-q|--quiet]... [-h|--help]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Prepare rebuilds for version skew in Multi-Arch: same packages

so here's the tea 🍓: packages that produce MA: same binary packages? they're required to have the exact same binNMU version number across all architectures. no exceptions, no "but my amd64 is special", none of that. it's giving "matching outfits or nobody goes out" energy.

this command goes through the archive and hunts down the packages where that constraint is currently not met — like, the binNMU versions are out here being chaotic and mismatched 😭 — and then it produces a list of binNMUs to sync the binNMU versions back up. balance restored, crown returned, etc. 👑

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --bp <BUILD_PRIORITY> [default: -50] — Build priority

If specified, the binNMUs are scheduled with the given build priority. Builds with a positive priority will be built earlier.

lowkey important: positive priority = built earlier. negative (like the default -50) = it can wait, bestie.

• -s, --suite <SUITE> [default: unstable] — Suite for binNMUs
• -v, --verbose — Increase logging verbosity
• -q, --quiet — Decrease logging verbosity
• -h, --help — Print help (see a summary with '-h')

---

and that's the whole page, no cap 💜

cute little sign-off time: this one is nmu-version-skew, living in the drt-tools-...rsion-skew(1) corner of the manual. go forth and sync those binNMU versions, icon 🌈✨
