GETBUILDLOG(1)                                                General Commands Manual                                               GETBUILDLOG(1)

NAME

       getbuildlog - download build logs from Debian auto-builders

SYNOPSIS

       getbuildlog package [version-pattern] [architecture-pattern]

DESCRIPTION

       getbuildlog downloads build logs of package from Debian auto-builders. It downloads build logs of all versions and for all architectures if
       version-pattern and architecture-pattern are not specified or empty, otherwise only build logs whose  versions  match  version-pattern  and
       build  logs  whose  architectures  match  architecture-pattern will be downloaded. The version and architecture patterns are interpreted as
       extended regular expressions as described in grep(1).

       If version-pattern is "last" then only the logs for the most recent version of package found on buildd.debian.org will be downloaded.

       If version-pattern is "last-all" then the logs for the most recent version found on each build log index will be downloaded.
