Description: |-
scripts to make the life of a Debian Package maintainer easier
Contains the following scripts, dependencies/recommendations shown in
brackets afterwards:
.
- annotate-output: run a command and prepend time and stream (O for stdout,
E for stderr) for every line of output.
- archpath: Prints arch (tla/Bazaar 1.x) package names. Also supports
calculating the package names for other branches. [tla]
- bts: A command-line tool for accessing the Debian Bug Tracking System, both
to send mails to control@bts.debian.org and to access the web pages and
SOAP interface of the BTS. [www-browser, libauthen-sasl-perl,
libsoap-lite-perl, liburi-perl, libwww-perl, bsd-mailx | mailx]
- build-rdeps: Searches for all packages that build-depend on a given package.
[dctrl-tools, dose-extra, libdpkg-perl]
- chdist: tool to easily play with several distributions. [dctrl-tools]
- checkbashisms: check whether a /bin/sh script contains any common
bash-specific constructs.
- cowpoke: upload a Debian source package to a cowbuilder host and build it,
optionally also signing and uploading the result to an incoming queue.
[ssh-client]
- cvs-debi, cvs-debc: wrappers around debi and debc respectively (see below)
which allow them to be called from the CVS working directory.
[cvs-buildpackage]
- cvs-debrelease: wrapper around debrelease which allows it to be called
from the CVS working directory. [cvs-buildpackage, dupload | dput,
ssh-client]
- cvs-debuild: A wrapper for cvs-buildpackage to use debuild as its package
building program. [cvs-buildpackage, fakeroot, lintian, gnupg |gnupg2]
- dcmd: run a given command replacing the name of a .changes or .dsc file
with each of the files referenced therein. *
- dd-list: given a list of packages, pretty-print it ordered by maintainer. *
- debbisect: bisect snapshot.debian.org to find which change in the archive
introduced a certain problem. [mmdebstrap, python3-debian]
- debc: List contents of current package. Do this after a successful
"debuild" to see if the package looks all right.
- debchange (abbreviation dch): Modifies debian/changelog and manages version
numbers for you. It will either increment the version number or add an
entry for the current version, depending upon the options given to it.
[libdistro-info-perl, libsoap-lite-perl]*
- debcheckout: checkout the development repository of a Debian package. *
- debclean: Clean a Debian source tree. Debclean will clean all Debian
source trees below the current directory, and if requested, also remove
all files that were generated from these source trees (that is .deb, .dsc
and .changes files). It will keep the .diffs and original files, though,
so that the binaries and other files can be rebuilt if necessary.
[fakeroot]*
- debcommit: Commits changes to cvs, darcs, svn, svk, tla, bzr, git, or hg,
using new entries in debian/changelog as the commit message. Also supports
tagging Debian package releases. [cvs | darcs | subversion | svk | tla |
bzr | git-core | mercurial, libtimedate-perl]
- debdiff: A program which examines two .deb files or two .changes files and
reports on any difference found in their file lists. Useful for ensuring
that no files were inadvertently lost between versions. Can also examine
two .dsc files and report on the changes between source versions.
For a deeper comparison one can use the diffoscope package.
[wdiff, patchutils]*
- debdiff-apply: Apply unified diffs of two Debian source packages, such as
those generated by debdiff, to a target Debian source package. Any changes
to debian/changelog are dealt with specially, to avoid the conflicts that
changelog diffs typically produce when applied naively. May be used to check
that old patches still apply to newer versions of those packages.
[python3-debian, python3-unidiff, quilt]
- debi: Installs the current package by using the setuid root debpkg
script described below. It assumes that the current package has
just been built (for example by debuild), and the .deb lives in the
parent directory, and will effectively run dpkg -i on the .deb. The
ability to install the package with a very short command is very
useful when troubleshooting packages.
- debootsnap: Combines debootstrap and snapshot.debian.org to create a chroot
containing exactly the requested selection of packages. This can be used
to re-create a chroot from the past, for example to reproduce a bug. The
tool is also used by debrebuild to build a package in a chroot with build
dependencies in the same version as recorded in the buildinfo file.
[apt-utils, dpkg-dev, equivs, mmdebstrap, python3-pycurl]
- debpkg: A wrapper for dpkg used by debi to allow convenient testing
of packages. For debpkg to work, it needs to be made setuid root,
and this needs to be performed by the sysadmin -- it is not
installed as setuid root by default. (Note that being able to run a
setuid root debpkg is effectively the same as having root access to
the system, so this should be done with caution.) Having debpkg as
a wrapper for dpkg can be a Good Thing (TM), as it decreases the
potential for damage by accidental wrong use of commands in
superuser mode (e.g., an inadvertent rm -rf * in the wrong directory
is disastrous as many can attest to).
- debrelease: A wrapper around dupload or dput which figures out which
version to upload, and then calls dupload or dput to actually perform
the upload. [dupload | dput, ssh-client]
- debrebuild: A script that provided a .buildinfo file reports the
instructions on how to try to reproduce the reported build.
[sbuild | mmdebstrap, python3-pycurl, libdpkg-perl]
- debrepro: A script that tests reproducibility of Debian packages. It will
build a given source directory twice, with a set of variation between the
first and second build, and compare the binary packages produced. If
diffoscope is installed, it is used to compare non-matching binaries. If
disorderfs is installed, it is used during the build to inject
non-determinism in filesystem listing operations.
[faketime, diffoscope, disorderfs]
- debrsign: This transfers a .changes/.dsc pair to a remote machine for
signing, and runs debsign on the remote machine over an SSH connection.
[gnupg | gnupg2, debian-keyring, ssh-client]
- debsign: Use GNU Privacy Guard to sign the changes (and possibly dsc)
files created by running dpkg-buildpackage with no-sign options. Useful
if you are building a package on a remote machine and wish to sign it on
a local one. This script is capable of automatically downloading the
.changes and .dsc files from a remote machine. [gnupg |gnupg2,
debian-keyring, ssh-client]*
- debsnap: grab packages from https://snapshot.debian.org [libwww-perl,
libjson-perl]
- debuild: A wrapper for building a package (i.e., dpkg-buildpackage) to
avoid problems with insufficient permissions and wrong paths etc.
Debuild will set up the proper environment for building a package.
Debuild will use the fakeroot program to build the package by default, but
can be instructed to use any other gain-root command, or can even be
installed setuid root. Debuild can also be used to run various of
the debian/rules operations with the same root-gaining procedure.
Debuild will also run lintian to check that the package does not
have any major policy violations. [fakeroot, lintian, gnupg | gnupg2]*
- deb-janitor: command-line client for interacting with the Debian Janitor.
- deb-reversion: increases a binary package version number and repacks the
package, useful for porters and the like.

- diff2patches: extracts patches from a .diff.gz file placing them under
debian/ or, if present, debian/patches. [patchutils]
- dpkg-depcheck, dpkg-genbuilddeps: Runs a specified command (such as
debian/rules build) or dpkg-buildpackage, respectively, to determine the
packages used during the build process. This information can be helpful
when trying to determine the packages needed in the Build-Depends etc.
lines in the debian/control file. [build-essential, strace]
- dscextract: extract a single file from a Debian source package. [patchutils]
- dscverify: check the signature and MD5 sums of a dsc file against the most

[quilt | dpatch | cdbs]
- getbuildlog: download package build logs from Debian auto-builders. [wget]
- git-deborig: try to produce Debian orig.tar using git-archive(1).
[libdpkg-perl, libgit-wrapper-perl, liblist-compare-perl,
libstring-shellquote-perl, libtry-tiny-perl]
- grep-excuses: grep britney's excuses to find out what is happening to your
packages. [libdbd-pg-perl, libterm-size-perl, libyaml-syck-perl, wget, w3m]

- mergechanges: merge .changes files from the same release but built
on different architectures.
- mk-build-deps: Given a package name and/or control file, generate a binary
package which may be installed to satisfy the build-dependencies of the
given package. [equivs]
- mk-origtargz: Rename upstream tarball, optionally changing the compression
and removing unwanted files.
[libfile-which-perl, unzip, xz-utils, file]
- namecheck: Check project names are not already taken.
- nmudiff: prepare a diff of this version (presumably an NMU against the
previously released version (as per the changelog) and submit the diff
to the BTS. [patchutils, mutt]
- origtargz: fetch the orig tarball of a Debian package from various sources,
and unpack it. [pristine-tar, pristine-lfs]
- plotchangelog: display information from a changelog graphically using
gnuplot. [libtimedate-perl, gnuplot]

svn tags. [subversion]
- tagpending: runs from a Debian source tree and tags bugs that are to be
closed in the latest changelog as pending. [libsoap-lite-perl]
- transition-check: Check a list of source packages for involvement in
transitions for which uploads to unstable are currently blocked.
[libwww-perl, libyaml-syck-perl]
- uscan: Automatically scan for and download upstream updates. Uscan can
also call a program such as uupdate to attempt to update the Debianised
version based on the new update. Whilst uscan could be used to release
the updated version automatically, it is probably better not to without
testing it first. Uscan can also verify detached OpenPGP signatures if
upstream's signing key is known. [file, gpgv | gpgv2, gnupg | gnupg2,
libfile-dirlist-perl, libfile-touch-perl, libfile-which-perl,
liblwp-protocol-https-perl, libmoo-perl, libwww-perl, unzip, xz-utils]*
