NAME

       revu-report - Debian packages reviewing tool

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       Debian packages reviewing tool.

       revu-report  is  a  reviewing  tool  from  the  revu-tools  package, aimed to helping reviewers of Debian
       packages in their task. revu-report uses revu-build and revu-orig  to  generate  a  full  report  in  the
       current folder.

       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
              Show informations about the program and the usage.

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