dcmd

DCMD(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   DCMD(1)

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
       $
