💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, say hi to debsigs-signchanges — she cryptographically signs Debian packages based on a package changes file. yes, that's the whole vibe. ✨

and fun fact, this page lives in the DEBSIG...CHANGES(1p) manual — that's 1p like perl, not like the other thing. anyway. let's go. 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

debsigs-signchanges file

one command, one little argument, that's it. slay.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea, bestie. debsigs-signchanges reads the Debian package changes file you hand her as an operand, and then she runs debsigs(1) on every single package listed inside it. every one. no skipping. 👑

and then — because she's a perfectionist, main character energy fr — she updates that changes file so it reflects the new cryptographic hash and the new size of the signed Debian packages. so the file stays honest. iconic behaviour honestly. 💅

🌸 OPERANDS 🌸

  • file — the name of a Debian package changes file to scan and update. debsigs-signchanges takes exactly one operand, and this is it. she scans it, she updates it. that's her thing. 🫶

💜 AUTHORS 💜

these two legends made this happen:

  • John Goerzen <jgoerzen@complete.org>
  • Branden Robinson <branden@debian.org>

give them their flowers. 💐
