TRANSITION-CHECK(1)													       TRANSITION-CHECK(1)

NAME

       transition-check - check a package list for involvement in transitions

SYNOPSIS

       transition-check --help|--version

       transition-check [-f|--filename=FILENAME] [source package list]

DESCRIPTION

       transition-check checks whether any of the listed source packages are involved in a transition for which uploads to unstable are currently
       blocked.

       If neither a filename nor a list of packages is supplied, transition-check will use the source package name from debian/control.

OPTIONS

       -f, --filename=filename
	   Read a source package name from filename, which should be a Debian package control file or .changes file, and add that package to the
	   list of packages to check.

EXIT STATUS

       The exit status indicates whether any of the packages examined were found to be involved in a transition.

       0   Either --help or --version was used, or none of the packages examined was involved in a transition.

       1   At least one package examined is involved in a current transition.
