NAME
customdeb - Customizes a binary debian package SYNOPSIS
customdeb file.cdeb [package.deb] Applies the changed specified in the file file.cdeb to the package file specified on the command line. If no package file was passed, it downloads the latest package with dget. DESCRIPTION
DIRECTORIES The created package will be saved in the output/ subdirectory of the current directory. A dlcache/ directory will be created as well, to prevent repeated downloads of the same file. It can, however, be deleted without problems. FILE FORMAT The cdeb file should be in a RFC822-like format, commonly used in Debian for almost everything: Field names and values are separated by a colon (":"). Lines starting with a blank are just appended to their previous line's value. Lines that contain only a period (".") in them will become an empty line in the output. Empty lines are ignored. Comments are allowed - All characters after a # sign until the end of the line are ignored. If you need to include the # sign, prepend it with another #. Also see Parse::DebControl. The first stanza of the file specifies general information on the package and the changes. This is followed by any number of change stan- zas, described as below. The changes are applied in the order of their appearance in the cdeb file. HEADER FIELDS Package The name of the package to modify. (required) Mod-Version String to append to the version of the package. Default: 0 Changes String to be inserted into the Debian changelog of the created package. Default: "This is a customized package, created using customdeb." TODO: Multi line arguments are not handled nicely yet. Files: String that specifies a directory to copy files from into the package (maybe overwriting files there). This happens before any of modi- fication stanzas are executed. Default: None FILE STANZA FIELDS This describes changes to a file in the package. File The full path of the file to modify or add. (required) Content Write the (probably-multi-line) value of the field to the file. Permission The file permission to set, in octal format. Owner The user and group to set, separated by a space.

NAME
dd-list - nicely list .deb packages and their maintainers SYNOPSIS
dd-list [-hiusV] [--help] [--stdin] [--sources Sources_file] [--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 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 list 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 output, which might be a binary package name. -s, --sources Sources_file Read package information from the specified Sources_files. This can be given multiple times. If no Sources_files are specified, any files matching /var/lib/apt/lists/*_source_Sources will be used. -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 Use binary package names in the output instead of source package names (has no effect with --dctrl if the Package: line contains source package names). -V, --version Print the version.
