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

\FC--help | -h\F[]
    Show informations about the program and the usage.

\FCupstream tarball\F[]
    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.

\FCdsc file\F[]
    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.
