.TH DD\-LIST 1 2005-06-28 "Debian"
.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------
.SH NAME
dd\-list \- nicely list .deb packages and their maintainers
.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------
.SH SYNOPSIS
.BR dd\-list " [" \-hiuV "] [" \-\-help "] [" \-\-stdin "]"
.BR "" "[" \-\-dctrl "] [" \-\-version "] [" \-\-uploaders "] [" package "...]"
.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B dd\-list
produces nicely formatted lists of Debian (.deb) packages and their
maintainers.
.PP
Input is a list of source or binary package names on the command line
(or the standard input if 
.B --stdin 
is given). 
Output is a list of the following format, where package names are source
packages:
.PP
.nf
.RS
J. Random Developer <jrandom@debian.org>
.RS
j-random-package
j-random-other
.RE
.PP
Diana Hacker <diana@example.org>
.RS
fun-package
more-fun-package
.RE
.RE
.fi
.PP
This is useful when you want, for example, to produce a list of packages
that need to attention from their maintainers, e.g., to be rebuilt when
a library version transition happens.
.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BR \-h , \-\-help
Print brief help message.
.TP
.BR \-i , \-\-stdin
Read package names from the standard input, instead of taking them
from the command line. Package names are whitespace delimited.
.TP
.BR \-d , \-\-dctrl
Read package information from standard input in the format of a Debian
package control file. This includes the status file, or output of
apt-cache. This is the fastest way to use dd-list, as it uses the
maintainer information from the input instead of looking up the maintainer
of each listed package.
.TP
.BR \-u , \-\-uploaders
Also list developers who are named as uploaders of packages, not only
the maintainers.  Uploaders are indicated with "(U)" appended to the
package name.
.TP
.BR \-V , \-\-version
Print the version.
