dcmd - Online in the Cloud

PROGRAM:

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 upstream .tar file.

--diff, --debtar
Select the Debian .debian.tar or .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.

--package, -p
Output package name part only.

--sort, -s
Sort output alphabetically.

--tac, -t
Reverse output order.

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
