NAME

       dcmd - expand file lists of .dsc/.changes files in the command line

SYNOPSIS

       dcmd [options] [command] [changes-file|dsc-file] [...]

DESCRIPTION

       dcmd  replaces  any  reference  to a .dsc or .changes file in the command line with the list of files in its 'Files' section, plus the file
       itself.	It allows easy manipulation of all the files involved in an upload (for changes files) or a source package (for dsc files).

       If command is omitted (that is the first argument is an existing .dsc or .changes file), the expanded list of files is printed  to  stdout,
       one file by line. Useful for usage in backticks.

OPTIONS

       There  are  a  number  of options which may be used in order to select only a subset of the files listed in the .dsc or .changes file. If a
       requested file is not found, an error message will be printed.

       --dsc	     Select the .dsc file.

       --schanges    Select .changes files for the 'source' architecture.

       --bchanges    Select .changes files for binary architectures.

       --changes     Select .changes files. Implies --schanges and --bchanges.

       --archdeb     Select architecture-dependent binary packages (.deb files).

       --indepdeb    Select architecture-independent binary packages (.deb files).

       --deb	     Select binary packages (.deb files). Implies --archdeb and --indepdeb.

       --archudeb    Select architecture-dependent udeb binary packages.

       --indepudeb   Select architecture-independent udeb binary packages.

       --udeb	     Select udeb binary packages. Implies --archudeb and --indepudeb.

       --tar, --orig Select the tar file.

       --diff	     Select the Debian diff file.

       Each option may be prefixed by --no to indicate that all files not matching the specification should be selected.

       It is not possible to combine positive filtering options (e.g. --dsc) and negative filtering options (e.g. --no-changes) in the	same  dcmd
       invocation.

       --no-fail-on-missing, -r
	      If any of the requested files were not found, do not output an error.

EXAMPLES

       Copy the result of a build to another machine:

       $ dcmd scp rcs_5.7-23_amd64.changes elegiac:/tmp
       rcs_5.7-23.dsc		       100%  490     0.5KB/s   00:00
       rcs_5.7-23.diff.gz	       100%   12KB  11.7KB/s   00:00
       rcs_5.7-23_amd64.deb	       100%  363KB 362.7KB/s   00:00
       rcs_5.7-23_amd64.changes        100% 1095     1.1KB/s   00:00
       $

       $ dcmd --diff --deb scp rcs_5.7-23_amd64.changes elegiac:/tmp
       rcs_5.7-23.diff.gz	       100%   12KB  11.7KB/s   00:00
       rcs_5.7-23_amd64.deb	       100%  363KB 362.7KB/s   00:00
       $

       Check the contents of a source package:

       $ dcmd md5sum rcs_5.7-23.dsc
       8fd09ea9654cda128f8d5c337d3b8de7  rcs_5.7.orig.tar.gz
       f0ceeae96603e823eacba6721a30b5c7  rcs_5.7-23.diff.gz
       5241db1e231b1f43ae5514b63d2523f8  rcs_5.7-23.dsc
       $

       $ dcmd --no-diff md5sum rcs_5.7-23.dsc
       8fd09ea9654cda128f8d5c337d3b8de7  rcs_5.7.orig.tar.gz
       5241db1e231b1f43ae5514b63d2523f8  rcs_5.7-23.dsc
       $

NAME

       dpkg-scansources - create Sources index files

SYNOPSIS

       dpkg-scansources [option...] binary-dir [override-file [path-prefix]] > Sources

DESCRIPTION

       dpkg-scansources scans the given binary-dir for .dsc files.  These are used to create a Debian source index, which is output to stdout.

       The  override-file,  if	given,	is used to set priorities in the resulting index records and to override the maintainer field given in the
       .dsc files.  The file can be compressed (since dpkg 1.15.5).  See deb-override(5) for the format of this file.  Note:  Since  the  override
       file  is  indexed  by binary, not source packages, there's a bit of a problem here. The current implementation uses the highest priority of
       all the binary packages produced by a .dsc file for the priority of the source package, and the override entry for the first binary package
       listed in the .dsc file to modify maintainer information. This might change.

       The  path-prefix, if given, is prepended to the directory field in the generated source index. You generally use this to make the directory
       fields contain the path from the top of the Debian archive hierarchy.

       Note: If you want to access the generated Sources file with apt(8) you will probably need to compress the file with gzip(1)  (generating  a
       Sources.gz file). apt ignores uncompressed Sources files except on local access (i.e.  file:// sources).

OPTIONS

       -n, --no-sort
	   Don't sort the index records. Normally they are sorted by source package name.

       -e, --extra-override file
	   Scan file to find supplementary overrides (since dpkg 1.15.4; the file can be compressed since dpkg 1.15.5).  See deb-extra-override(5)
	   for more information on its format.

       -s, --source-override file
	   Use file as the source override file (the file can be compressed since dpkg 1.15.5).  The default is the name of the override file  you
	   specified with .src appended.

	   The	source override file is in a different format from the binary override file. It contains only two whitespace separated fields, the
	   first is the source package name and the second is the section. Blank lines and comment lines are ignored in the normal  manner.  If  a
	   package appears in both files the source override takes precedence for setting the section.

       --debug
	   Turn debugging on.

       --help
	   Show the usage message and exit.

       --version
	   Show the version and exit.
