DD-LIST(1)

NAME
dd-list - nicely list .deb packages and their maintainers

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:

    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 packages 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 delimited.

-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.

-u,--uploaders
    Also list developers who are named as uploaders of packages, not only the maintainers. Uploaders are indicated with "(U)" appended to the package name.

-V,--version
    Print the version.
