PROGRAM:

NAME


wrap-and-sort - wrap long lines and sort items in Debian packaging files

SYNOPSIS


wrap-and-sort [options]

DESCRIPTION


wrap-and-sort wraps the package lists in Debian control files. By default the lists will
only split into multiple lines if the entries are longer than the maximum line length
limit of 79 characters. wrap-and-sort sorts the package lists in Debian control files and
all .dirs, .docs, .examples, .info, .install, .links, .maintscript, and .manpages files.
Beside that wrap-and-sort removes trailing spaces in these files.

This script should be run in the root of a Debian package tree. It searches for control,
control*.in, copyright, copyright.in, install, and *.install in the debian directory.

OPTIONS


-h, --help
Show this help message and exit.

-a, --wrap-always
Wrap all package lists in the Debian control file even if they do not exceed the
line length limit and could fit in one line.

-s, --short-indent
Only indent wrapped lines by one space (default is in-line with the field name).

-b, --sort-binary-packages
Sort binary package paragraphs by name.

-k, --keep-first
When sorting binary package paragraphs, leave the first one at the top.
Unqualified debhelper(7) configuration files are applied to the first package.

-n, --no-cleanup
Do not remove trailing whitespaces.

-t, --trailing-comma
Add a trailing comma at the end of the sorted fields. This minimizes future
differences in the VCS commits when additional dependencies are appended or
removed.

-d path, --debian-directory=path
Location of the debian directory (default: ./debian).

-f file, --file=file
Wrap and sort only the specified file. You can specify this parameter multiple
times. All supported files will be processed if no files are specified.

-v, --verbose
Print all files that are touched.

--max-line-length=max_line_length
Set the maximum allowed line length. Package lists in the Debian control file that
exceed this length limit will be wrapped. The default maximum line length is 79
characters.
