NAME

       revu-orig - Debian packages reviewing tool

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       Debian packages reviewing tool.

       revu-orig  is a reviewing tool from the revu-tools package, aimed to helping reviewers of Debian packages
       in their task. revu-orig achieves a series of tests comparing the upstream tarball with  the  orig.tar.gz
       file.  It returns a series of reports in the current folder that can be used by revu-report to generate a
       full report. 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.

       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.

       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.

       dsc file
              Indicate  what dsc file to use. This is optional since revu-orig can detect the dsc file automati‐
              cally in the folder. Note that this argument can only be given if the tarball was given  as  first
              one.
