💖 NAME 💖

revu-report — the Debian packages reviewing tool, bestie. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk: revu-report is the Debian packages reviewing tool. periodt.

It lives in the revu-tools package and it's literally here to help reviewers of Debian packages do their whole thing. No cap. What it does is it pulls in revu-build and revu-orig and together they generate a full report right there in the current folder. iconic behavior honestly. 💅

Among the informations revu-report 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.
  • Whether the package fails to build from source in pbuilder ;
  • Whether lintian and linda are happy with this package ;
  • Whether running debuild -S -sa on this package generates files in the diff outside of debian/.

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • --help | -h — shows you the informations about the program and the usage. the "help me help you" moment fr fr. 🫶
  • upstream tarball — tells it which file to use as the upstream tarball. it's optional because revu-report can download the upstream tarball using debian/watch and/or detect its presence automatically in the folder. so chill. 🧚
  • dsc file — tells it which dsc file to use. also optional, since revu-report can detect the dsc file automatically in the folder. ⚠️ but heads up bestie: this argument can only be given if the tarball was given as first one. no tarball, no dsc. them's the rules. 😭
