Gtk viewer for Debian package files.
=======================================
Old name: dpkg-view. Changed to avoid a
conflict with the dpkg- namespace.
deb-gview is designed for Debian developers,
Debian applicants / sponsorees and the simply
curious.
By default, File|Open displays the list of
packages in the apt cache:
/var/cache/apt/archives/
deb-gview also loads .deb files directly
from the command line. This can be used
with file managers like Nautilus to open
.deb files from a file viewer window. This
is not enabled automatically, yet. e.g. to
enable this in Nautilus, right click a .deb
file, select Open and select "Debian Package
Viewer" from the list. Nautilus will now use
deb-gview to open .deb files in future.
deb-gview (>= 0.1.0) can also load the
.deb files listed in a .changes file, each
in a new window.
deb-gview (>= 0.1.0) can load a .deb or a .udeb
from a local filesystem or a remote repository.
deb-gview will remain a .deb viewer rather
than being extended to cope with any .tar.gz
Updating the man page
===================
editor deb-gview.1.xml
xsltproc -''-nonet /usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/nwalsh/manpages/docbook.xsl \
deb-gview.1.xml
cvs ci -m "updated manpage" deb-gview.1 deb-gview.1.xml
Building
========
Local test packages can be built using:
cvs-buildpackage -M dpkg-view -H ./autogen.sh
Packages for upload MUST use the tarball generated
by 'make dist' with debuild.
