💖 revu-orig — the Debian package reviewing bestie 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to revu-orig(1), a manual page for the Debian packages reviewing tool, and honestly? it's giving main character energy. let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

revu-orig — Debian packages reviewing tool 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

revu-orig [ --help | -h ] [ upstream tarball [ dsc file ] ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Debian packages reviewing tool. periodt. 💅

revu-orig is a reviewing tool from the revu-tools package, and its whole vibe is helping reviewers of Debian packages do their task. no cap. 🫶

the way revu-orig works is it runs a whole series of tests comparing the upstream tarball with the orig.tar.gz file. then it returns a series of reports in the current folder that can be used by revu-report to generate a full report. iconic behavior honestly. 🔥

revu-orig is currently able to use debian/watch files to detect new upstream versions of the program and download the current upstream tarball to achieve the tests. it also detects Debian-native packages. lowkey multitasking queen 👑

among the informations revu-orig gives are:

• Whether the package is a Debian-native ;
• Whether the package contains a usable debian/watch file ;
• Whether new versions of the program are available, using the debian/watch file with uscan ;
• Whether the md5 sums of the upstream tarball and the orig.tar.gz are identical, and whether this is normal or not ;
• Whether there is a diff between the extracted upstream tarball and orig.tar.gz.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --help | -h — Show informations about the program and the usage. literally the "hi bestie what does this do" flag 💖
• upstream tarball — Indicate what file to use as upstream tarball. This is optional since revu-orig can download the upstream tarball using debian/watch and/or detect its presence automatically in the folder. so chill of it 🧚
• dsc file — Indicate what dsc file to use. This is optional since revu-orig can detect the dsc file automatically in the folder. Note that this argument can only be given if the tarball was given as first one. yes bestie, order matters, iykyk 🙈
