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.
