SYNOPSIS
dd-list [-hiuV] [--help] [--stdin] [--dctrl] [--version] [--uploaders]
[package...]
DESCRIPTION
dd-list produces nicely formatted lists of Debian (.deb) packages and
their maintainers.
Input is a list of source or binary package names on the command line
(or the standard input if --stdin is given). Output is a list of the
following format, where package names are source packages by default:
J. Random Developer <jrandom@debian.org>
j-random-package
j-random-other
Diana Hacker <diana@example.org>
fun-package
more-fun-package
This is useful when you want, for example, to produce a list of pack-
ages that need to attention from their maintainers, e.g., to be rebuilt
when a library version transition happens.
OPTIONS
-h,--help
Print brief help message.
-i,--stdin
Read package names from the standard input, instead of taking
them from the command line. Package names are whitespace delim-
ited.
-d,--dctrl
Read package information from standard input in the format of a
Debian package control file. This includes the status file, or
output of apt-cache. This is the fastest way to use dd-list, as
it uses the maintainer information from the input instead of
looking up the maintainer of each listed package.
If no Source: line is given, the Package: name is used for out-
put, which might be a binary package name.
-u,--uploaders
Also list developers who are named as uploaders of packages, not
only the maintainers; this is the default behaviour, use --nou-
ploaders to prevent it. Uploaders are indicated with "(U)"
appended to the package name.
-nou,--nouploaders
Only list package Maintainers, do not list Uploaders.
-b,--print-binary
