 DD-LIST 1 2011-10-27 "Debian"
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 NAME
dd-list - nicely list .deb packages and their maintainers
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 SYNOPSIS
 dd-list " [" -hiusV "] [" --help "] [" --stdin "]"  "" "[" "--sources Sources_file" "]  "" "[" --dctrl "] [" --version "] [" --uploaders "] [" package " ...]"  --------------------------------------------------------------------
 DESCRIPTION
 dd-list produces nicely formatted lists of Debian (.deb) packages and their
maintainers.


Input is a list of source or binary package names on the command line
(or the standard input if
 --stdin is given).
Output is a list of the following format, where package names are source
packages by default:




J. Random Developer <jrandom@debian.org>


j-random-package
j-random-other




Diana Hacker <diana@example.org>


fun-package
more-fun-package








This is useful when you want, for example, to produce a list of packages
that need to attention from their maintainers, e.g., to be rebuilt when
a library version transition happens.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 OPTIONS

 -h ", " --help Print brief help message.


 -i ", " --stdin Read package names from the standard input, instead of taking them
from the command line. Package names are whitespace delimited.


 -d ", " --dctrl Read package list from standard input in the format of a Debian
package control file. This includes the status file, or output of
apt-cache. This is the fastest way to use dd-list, as it uses the
maintainer information from the input instead of looking up the maintainer
of each listed package.

If no Source: line is given, the Package: name is used for
output, which might be a binary package name.


 -z ", " --uncompress Try to uncompress the --dctrl input before parsing. Supported compression
formats are gz, bzip2 or xz.


-s, --sources Sources_file
Read package information from the specified Sources_files. This can be
given multiple times. The files can be gz, bzip2 or xz compressed. If the
filename does not end in .gz, .bz2 or .xz, then the -z
option must be used.

If no Sources_files are specified, dd-list will ask apt-get for
an appropriate set of sources (if apt is at version greater than 1.1.8),
else any files matching /var/lib/apt/lists/*_source_Sources will be used.


 -u ", " --uploaders Also list developers who are named as uploaders of packages, not only
the maintainers; this is the default behaviour, use --nouploaders to
prevent it. Uploaders are indicated with "(U)" appended to the package name.


 -nou ", " --nouploaders Only list package Maintainers, do not list Uploaders.


 -b ", " --print-binary Use binary package names in the output instead of source package names
(has no effect with --dctrl if the Package: line contains
source package names).


 -V ", " --version Print the version.
