NAME

       lintian-brush - automatically fix lintian issues

SYNOPSIS

       lintian-brush   [-h]  [--no-update-changelog]  [--version]  [--list-fixers]  [--list-tags]
       [--diff] [TAGS [TAGS ...]]

DESCRIPTION

       lintian-brush automatically applies a set of fixes for common  lintian  issues,  adds  the
       relevant changelog entries and commits the changes to the local version control system.

       The  tool's  philosophy is to fix any issues for which it knows a correct fix, and to back
       off if it does not.

   positional arguments:
       TAGS   Lintian tag for which to apply fixer.

   optional arguments:
       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       --no-update-changelog
              Whether to update the changelog.

       --version
              show program's version number and exit

       --list-fixers
              List available fixers.

       --list-tags
              List lintian tags for which fixers are available.

       --fixers-dir DIRECTORY
              Override the fixers directory.

       --diff After running all fixers, display the changes made as a single unified diff.

       --modern
              Use features that require packages that are not yet available in Debian stable.

       --identity
              Print the identity (name  and  e-mailaddress)  that  lintian-brush  will  use  when
              committing changes, and exit.

       --disable-net-access
              Do not attempt to use the network to e.g. retrieve additional package metadata from
              hosting sites, or to check whether a homepage is also available over HTTPS.

       --dry-run
              Run fixers but do not actually make changes to the repository. Useful in particular
              in combination with --diff.

              Note that this currently will create a temporary clone of the repository, which may
              be slow for large repositories.

       --verbose
              Print list of fixers that was run and print tracebacks for failed fixers.

EXAMPLES

       $ lintian-brush --list-tags
              List all lintian tags for which fixers are available.

       $ lintian-brush
              Run all fixers in the current Debian package.
