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
              automatically in the folder. Note that this argument can only be given if the tarball was given as
              first one.
