Description: scripts to make the life of a Debian Package maintainer easier
 Contains the following scripts, dependencies/recommendations shown in
 brackets afterwards:
 .
  - annotate-output: run a command and prepend time and stream (O for stdout,
    E for stderr) for every line of output.
  - archpath: Prints arch (tla/Bazaar) package names. Also supports
    calculating the package names for other branches. [tla | bazaar]
  - bts: A command-line tool for accessing the Debian Bug Tracking System, both
    to send mails to control@bts.debian.org and to access the web pages and
    SOAP interface of the BTS. [www-browser, libauthen-sasl-perl,
    libnet-smtps-perl, libsoap-lite-perl, liburi-perl, libwww-perl,
    bsd-mailx | mailx]
  - build-rdeps: Searches for all packages that build-depend on a given package.
    [dctrl-tools, dose-extra, libdpkg-perl]
  - chdist: tool to easily play with several distributions. [dctrl-tools]
  - checkbashisms: check whether a /bin/sh script contains any common
    bash-specific constructs.
  - cowpoke: upload a Debian source package to a cowbuilder host and build it,
    optionally also signing and uploading the result to an incoming queue.
    [ssh-client]
  - cvs-debi, cvs-debc: wrappers around debi and debc respectively (see below)
    which allow them to be called from the CVS working directory.
    [cvs-buildpackage]
  - cvs-debrelease: wrapper around debrelease which allows it to be called
    from the CVS working directory. [cvs-buildpackage, dupload | dput,
    ssh-client]
  - cvs-debuild: A wrapper for cvs-buildpackage to use debuild as its package
    building program. [cvs-buildpackage, fakeroot, lintian, gnupg |gnupg2]
  - dcmd: run a given command replacing the name of a .changes or .dsc file
    with each of the files referenced therein. *
  - dd-list: given a list of packages, pretty-print it ordered by maintainer. *
  - debbisect: bisect snapshot.debian.org to find which change in the archive
    introduced a certain problem. [mmdebstrap, python3-debian]
  - debc: List contents of current package.  Do this after a successful
    "debuild" to see if the package looks all right.
  - debchange (abbreviation dch): Modifies debian/changelog and manages version
    numbers for you.  It will either increment the version number or add an
    entry for the current version, depending upon the options given to it.
    [libdistro-info-perl, libsoap-lite-perl]*
  - debcheckout: checkout the development repository of a Debian package. *
  - debclean: Clean a Debian source tree.  Debclean will clean all Debian
    source trees below the current directory, and if requested, also remove
    all files that were generated from these source trees (that is .deb, .dsc
    and .changes files).  It will keep the .diffs and original files, though,
    so that the binaries and other files can be rebuilt if necessary.
    [fakeroot]*
  - debcommit: Commits changes to cvs, darcs, svn, svk, tla, bzr, git, or hg,
    using new entries in debian/changelog as the commit message. Also supports
    tagging Debian package releases. [cvs | darcs | subversion | svk | tla |
    bzr | git-core | mercurial, libtimedate-perl]
  - debdiff: A program which examines two .deb files or two .changes files and
    reports on any difference found in their file lists.  Useful for ensuring
    that no files were inadvertently lost between versions.  Can also examine
    two .dsc files and report on the changes between source versions.
    For a deeper comparison one can use the diffoscope package.
    [wdiff, patchutils]*
  - debdiff-apply: Apply unified diffs of two Debian source packages, such as
    those generated by debdiff, to a target Debian source package. Any changes
    to debian/changelog are dealt with specially, to avoid the conflicts that
    changelog diffs typically produce when applied naively. May be used to check
    that old patches still apply to newer versions of those packages.
    [python3-debian, python3-unidiff, quilt]
  - debi: Installs the current package by using the setuid root debpkg
    script described below.  It assumes that the current package has
    just been built (for example by debuild), and the .deb lives in the
    parent directory, and will effectively run dpkg -i on the .deb.  The
    ability to install the package with a very short command is very
    useful when troubleshooting packages.
  - debootsnap: Combines debootstrap and snapshot.debian.org to create a chroot
    containing exactly the requested selection of packages. This can be used
    to re-create a chroot from the past, for example to reproduce a bug. The
    tool is also used by debrebuild to build a package in a chroot with build
    dependencies in the same version as recorded in the buildinfo file.
    [python3-pycurl, mmdebstrap]
  - debpkg: A wrapper for dpkg used by debi to allow convenient testing
    of packages.  For debpkg to work, it needs to be made setuid root,
    and this needs to be performed by the sysadmin -- it is not
    installed as setuid root by default.  (Note that being able to run a
    setuid root debpkg is effectively the same as having root access to
    the system, so this should be done with caution.)  Having debpkg as
    a wrapper for dpkg can be a Good Thing (TM), as it decreases the
    potential for damage by accidental wrong use of commands in
    superuser mode (e.g., an inadvertent rm -rf * in the wrong directory
    is disastrous as many can attest to).
  - debrelease: A wrapper around dupload or dput which figures out which
    version to upload, and then calls dupload or dput to actually perform
    the upload. [dupload | dput, ssh-client]
  - debrebuild: A script that provided a .buildinfo file reports the
    instructions on how to try to reproduce the reported build.
    [sbuild | mmdebstrap, python3-pycurl]
  - debrepro: A script that tests reproducibility of Debian packages. It will
    build a given source directory twice, with a set of variation between the
    first and second build, and compare the binary packages produced. If
    diffoscope is installed, it is used to compare non-matching binaries. If
    disorderfs is installed, it is used during the build to inject
    non-determinism in filesystem listing operations.
    [faketime, diffoscope, disorderfs]
  - debrsign: This transfers a .changes/.dsc pair to a remote machine for
    signing, and runs debsign on the remote machine over an SSH connection.
    [gnupg | gnupg2, debian-keyring, ssh-client]
  - debsign: Use GNU Privacy Guard to sign the changes (and possibly dsc)
    files created by running dpkg-buildpackage with no-sign options.  Useful
    if you are building a package on a remote machine and wish to sign it on
    a local one.  This script is capable of automatically downloading the
    .changes and .dsc files from a remote machine. [gnupg |gnupg2,
    debian-keyring, ssh-client]*
  - debsnap: grab packages from https://snapshot.debian.org [libwww-perl,
    libjson-perl]
  - debuild: A wrapper for building a package (i.e., dpkg-buildpackage) to
    avoid problems with insufficient permissions and wrong paths etc.
    Debuild will set up the proper environment for building a package.
    Debuild will use the fakeroot program to build the package by default, but
    can be instructed to use any other gain-root command, or can even be
    installed setuid root.  Debuild can also be used to run various of
    the debian/rules operations with the same root-gaining procedure.
    Debuild will also run lintian to check that the package does not
    have any major policy violations. [fakeroot, lintian, gnupg | gnupg2]*
  - deb-janitor: command-line client for interacting with the Debian Janitor.
  - deb-reversion: increases a binary package version number and repacks the
    package, useful for porters and the like.
  - deb-why-removed: shows the reason a package was removed from the archive.
    [libdpkg-perl]
  - dep3changelog: generate a changelog entry from a DEP3-style patch header.
  - desktop2menu: given a freedesktop.org desktop file, generate a skeleton
    for a menu file. [libfile-desktopentry-perl]
  - dget: Downloads Debian source and binary packages. Point at a .changes or
    .dsc to download all references files. Specify a package name to download
    it from the configured apt repository. [wget | curl]
  - diff2patches: extracts patches from a .diff.gz file placing them under
    debian/ or, if present, debian/patches. [patchutils]
  - dpkg-depcheck, dpkg-genbuilddeps: Runs a specified command (such as
    debian/rules build) or dpkg-buildpackage, respectively, to determine the
    packages used during the build process.  This information can be helpful
    when trying to determine the packages needed in the Build-Depends etc.
    lines in the debian/control file. [build-essential, strace]
  - dscextract: extract a single file from a Debian source package. [patchutils]
  - dscverify: check the signature and MD5 sums of a dsc file against the most
    current Debian keyring on your system. [gnupg | gnupg2, debian-keyring]
  - edit-patch: add/edit a patch for a source package and commit the changes.
    [quilt | dpatch | cdbs]
  - getbuildlog: download package build logs from Debian auto-builders. [wget]
  - git-deborig: try to produce Debian orig.tar using git-archive(1).
    [libdpkg-perl, libgit-wrapper-perl, liblist-compare-perl,
    libstring-shellquote-perl, libtry-tiny-perl]
  - grep-excuses: grep britney's excuses to find out what is happening to your
    packages. [libdbd-pg-perl, libterm-size-perl, libyaml-syck-perl, wget, w3m]
  - hardening-check: report the hardening characteristics of a set of binaries.
  - list-unreleased: searches for packages marked UNRELEASED in their
    changelog.
  - ltnu (Long Time No Upload): List all uploads of packages by the
    given uploader or maintainer and display them ordered by the last
    upload of that package, oldest uploads first.
  - manpage-alert: locate binaries without corresponding manpages. [man-db]
  - mass-bug: mass-file bug reports. [bsd-mailx | mailx]
  - mergechanges: merge .changes files from the same release but built
    on different architectures.
  - mk-build-deps: Given a package name and/or control file, generate a binary
    package which may be installed to satisfy the build-dependencies of the
    given package. [equivs]
  - mk-origtargz: Rename upstream tarball, optionally changing the compression
    and removing unwanted files.
    [libfile-which-perl, unzip, xz-utils, file]
  - namecheck: Check project names are not already taken.
  - nmudiff: prepare a diff of this version (presumably an NMU against the
    previously released version (as per the changelog) and submit the diff
    to the BTS. [patchutils, mutt]
  - origtargz: fetch the orig tarball of a Debian package from various sources,
    and unpack it. [pristine-tar, pristine-lfs]
  - plotchangelog: display information from a changelog graphically using
    gnuplot. [libtimedate-perl, gnuplot]

  - salsa: manipulates salsa.debian.org repositories and users
    [libgitlab-api-v4-perl]
  - suspicious-source: output a list of files which are not common source
    files. [python3-magic]
  - svnpath: Prints the path to the Subversion repository of a Subversion
    checkout. Also supports calculating the paths for branches and
    tags in a repository independent fashion. Used by debcommit to generate
    svn tags. [subversion]
  - tagpending: runs from a Debian source tree and tags bugs that are to be
    closed in the latest changelog as pending. [libsoap-lite-perl]
  - transition-check: Check a list of source packages for involvement in
    transitions for which uploads to unstable are currently blocked.
    [libwww-perl, libyaml-syck-perl]
  - uscan: Automatically scan for and download upstream updates.  Uscan can
    also call a program such as uupdate to attempt to update the Debianised
    version based on the new update.  Whilst uscan could be used to release
    the updated version automatically, it is probably better not to without
    testing it first.  Uscan can also verify detached OpenPGP signatures if
    upstream's signing key is known. [file, gpgv | gpgv2, gnupg | gnupg2,
    libfile-dirlist-perl, libfile-touch-perl, libfile-which-perl,
    liblwp-protocol-https-perl, libmoo-perl, libwww-perl, unzip, xz-utils]*
  - uupdate: Update the package with an archive or patches from

    debian-keyring]
  - who-uploads: determine the most recent uploaders of a package to the Debian
    archive. [gnupg | gnupg2, debian-keyring, debian-maintainers, wget]
  - wnpp-alert: list installed packages which are orphaned or up for adoption.
    [wget | curl]
  - wnpp-check: check whether there is an open request for packaging or
    intention to package bug for a package. [wget | curl]

    procmail and exim scripts for sorting mail arriving to Debian
    mailing lists.
Description-it: script per facilitare la vita di un manutentore di pacchetti Debian
 Contiene i seguenti script, le dipendenze/raccomandazioni sono mostrate di
 seguito tra parentesi quadre:
 .
  - annotate-output: esegue un comando e aggiunge all'inizio l'ora e il
    flusso (O per stdout, E per stderr) per ogni riga di output;
  - archpath: stampa i nomi dei pacchetti arch (tla/Bazaar); gestisce anche
    il calcolo dei nomi di pacchetto per altri rami [tla | bazaar];
  - bts: strumento a riga di comando per accedere al BTS (sistema di
    tracciamento dei bug) di Debian, sia per inviare email a
    control@bts.debian.org, sia per accedere alle pagine web e
    all'interfaccia SOAP del BTS [www-browser, libauthen-sasl-perl,
    libnet-smtps-perl, libsoap-lite-perl, liburi-perl, libwww-perl,
    bsd-mailx | mailx];
  - build-rdeps: cerca tutti i pacchetti che hanno come dipendenza di
    compilazione un dato pacchetto [dctrl-tools, dose-extra, libdpkg-perl];
  - chdist: strumento per maneggiare facilmente parecchie distribuzioni
    [dctrl-tools];
  - checkbashisms: verifica se uno script /bin/sh contiene alcuni diffusi
    costrutti specifici di bash;
  - cowpoke: carica un pacchetto sorgente Debian in un host cowbuilder e lo
    compila, opzionalmente anche firmando e caricando il risultato in una
    coda in entrata [ssh-client];
  - cvs-debi, cvs-debc: wrapper rispettivamente per debi e debc (vedere più
    avanti) che permette di eseguirli da una directory di lavoro CVS
    [cvs-buildpackage];
  - cvs-debrelease: wrapper per debrelease che permette di eseguirlo
    da una directory di lavoro CVS [cvs-buildpackage, dupload | dput,
    ssh-client];
  - cvs-debuild: wrapper per cvs-buildpackage per usare debuild come suo
    programma di compilazione del pacchetto [cvs-buildpackage, fakeroot,
    lintian, gnupg | gnupg2];
  - dcmd: esegue un dato comando sostituendo il nome di un file .changes o
    .dsc con ognuno dei file che vi sono referenziati;
  - dd-list: data una lista di pacchetti li stampa, ordinati per
    manutentore, in modo carino;
  - debbisect: seziona snapshot.debian.org per trovare quale modifica
    nell'archivio ha introdotto un certo problema [mmdebstrap,
    python3-debian].
  - debc: visualizza il contenuto del pacchetto corrente; farlo dopo un
    "debuild" con successo per vedere se il pacchetto sembra a posto;
  - debchange (abbreviato: dch): modifica debian/changelog e gestisce i
    numeri di versione per conto dell'utente; incrementa il numero di
    versione o aggiunge una voce per la versione attuale, a seconda delle
    opzioni che riceve [libdistro-info-perl, libsoap-lite-perll];
  - debcheckout: fa il checkout del repository di sviluppo di un pacchetto
    Debian;
  - debclean: pulisce un albero di sorgenti Debian; debclean pulisce tutti
    gli alberi sorgenti Debian al di sotto della directory attuale e, se
    richiesto, rimuove anche i file che sono stati generati da questi alberi
    di sorgenti (cioè file .deb, .dsc e .changes). Mantiene i .diffs e i
    file originali, però, in modo che i binari e gli altri file possano
    essere ricompilati se necessario [fakeroot];
  - debcommit: fa il commit di modifiche in cvs, darcs, svn, svk, tla, bzr,
    git o hg, usando le nuove voci in debian/changelog come messaggio di
    commit; gestisce anche le etichetti per rilasci di pacchetti Debian
    [cvs | darcs | subversion | svk | tla | bzr | git-core | mercurial,
    libtimedate-perl];
  - debdiff: programma che esamina due file .deb o due file .changes e
    riporta ogni differenza trovata nei loro elenchi di pacchetti; utile per
    assicurare che non sia stato perso inavvertitamente alcun file tra
    versioni dei sorgenti. Può anche esaminare due file .dsc e riportare le
    differenze tra versioni sorgente. Per un confronto più approfondito si
    può usare il pacchetto diffoscope [wdiff, patchutils];
  - debdiff-apply: applica diff unificati di due pacchetti sorgenti Debian,
    così come generati da debdiff, ad un pacchetto sorgente Debian di
    destinazione; tutte le modifiche a debian/changelog sono gestite in modo
    speciale per evitare i conflitti che i diff di changelog tipicamente
    producono quando applicati nativamente. Può essere usato per controllare
    che le vecchie patch siano ancora valide per le versioni più nuove di
    tali pacchetti [python3-debian, python3-unidiff, quilt];
  - debi: installa il pacchetto attuale usando lo script debpkg con setuid
    root descritto in seguito. Assume che il pacchetto corrente sia appena
    stato compilato (per esempio da debuild) e che il .deb sia nella
    directory genitrice e, di fatto, esegue dpkg -i sul .deb. La capacità di
    installare il pacchetto con un comando molto corto è molto utile quando
    si risolvono problemi nei pacchetti;
  - debootsnap: combina debootstrap e snapshot.debian.org per creare una
    chroot contenente esattamente la selezione di pacchetti richiesta.
    Ciò può essere utilizzato per ricreare una chroot dal passato, per
    esempio per riprodurre un bug. Lo strumento viene anche usato da
    debrebuildper compilare un pacchetto in una chroot con dipendenze di
    compilazione nella stessa versione di come registrato nel file
    buildinfo. [python3-pycurl, mmdebstrap]
  - debpkg: wrapper per dpkg usato da debi per permettere di testare
    comodamente pacchetti. Affinché debpkg funzioni, è necessario che sia
    setuid root e questo deve essere fatto dall'amministratore di sistema:
    non è installato in maniera predefinita come setuid root by default.
    (Notare che poter eseguire debpkg con setuid root è di fatto lo stesso
    che avere accesso root al sistema, perciò dovrebbe essere fatto con
    cautela.) Avere debpkg come wrapper per dpkg può essere una Buona Cosa
    (TM) dato che diminuisce il potenziale di pericolo di danni per un uso
    accidentalmente sbagliato dei comandi in modalità superutente (es., un
    rm -rf * accidentale nella directory sbagliata è disastroso, come
    possono testimoniare in molti).
  - debrelease: wrapper per dupload o dput che scopre quale versione
    caricare e poi chiama dupload o dput per effettuare l'effettivo
    caricamento [dupload | dput, ssh-client];
  - debrebuild: script che, dato un file .buildinfo, riporta le istruzioni
    su come cercare di riprodurre la compilazione riportata
    [sbuild | mmdebstrap, python3-pycurl];
  - debrepro: script che testa la riproducibilità dei pacchetti Debian;
    compila una data directory di sorgenti due volte, con un insieme di
    variazioni tra la prima e la seconda compilazione, e confronta i
    pacchetti binari prodotti. Se diffoscope è installato viene usato per
    confrontare i binari che non corrispondono. Se disorderfs è installato,
    viene usato durante la compilazione per inserire non-determinismo nelle
    operazioni di elencazione del file system [faketime, diffoscope,
    disorderfs];
  - debrsign: trasferisce una coppia .changes/.dsc ad una macchina remota
    per la firma ed esegue debsign sulla macchina remota su una connessione
    SSH [gnupg | gnupg2, debian-keyring, ssh-client]
  - debsign: usa GNU Privacy Guard per firmare file di modifiche (ed
    eventualmente dsc) creati eseguendo dpkg-buildpackage con opzioni
    no-sign; utile se si sta compilando un pacchetto su una macchina remota
    e si desidera firmarlo su una locale. Questo script è in grado di
    scaricare automaticamente i file .changes e .dsc da una macchina remota
    [gnupg |gnupg2, debian-keyring, ssh-client];
  - debsnap: preleva pacchetti da https://snapshot.debian.org [libwww-perl,
    libjson-perl];
  - debuild: wrapper per compilare un pacchetto (cioè dpkg-buildpackage)
    per evitare problemi con permessi insufficienti e percorsi sbagliati,
    ecc. debuild imposta l'ambiente appropriato per compilare un pacchetto.
    debuild usa in modo predefinito il programma fakeroot per compilare il
    pacchetto, ma può essere istruito ad usare qualsiasi altro comando per
    diventare root, o può persino essere installato con setuid root.
    debuild può anche essere usato per eseguire varie operazioni
    debian/rules con la stessa procedura per ottenere permessi root.
    debuild esegue anche lintian per controllare che il pacchetto non abbia
    importanti violazioni delle politiche [fakeroot, lintian, gnupg |
    gnupg2];
  - deb-janitor: client a riga di comando per interagire con Debian Janitor;
  - deb-reversion: incrementa il numero di versione di un pacchetto binario
    e rimpacchetta l'archivio, utile per chi fa port e simili;
  - deb-why-removed: mostra il motivo per cui un pacchetto è stato rimosso
    dall'archivio;
  - dep3changelog: genera una voce di changelog da un header di patch in
    stile DEP3;
  - desktop2menu: produce lo scheletro di un file di menu a partire da un
    file desktop freedesktop.org [libfile-desktopentry-perl];
  - dget: scarica pacchetti sorgenti e binari Debian; puntarlo ad un
    .changes o .dsc per scaricare tutti i file dei riferimenti. Specificare
    un nome di pacchetto per scaricarlo dal repository apt configurato
    [wget | curl];
  - diff2patches: estrae patch da un file .diff.gz e le mette sotto debian/
    o, se presente, debian/patches [patchutils];
  - dpkg-depcheck, dpkg-genbuilddeps: eseguono, rispettivamente, un comando
    specificato (come debian/rules build) o dpkg-buildpackage, per
    determinare i pacchetti utilizzati durante il processo di compilazione;
    questa informazione può essere d'aiuto quando si cerca di determinare i
    pacchetti necessari nelle righe Build-Depends, ecc. nel file
    debian/control [build-essential, strace];
  - dscextract: estrae un singolo file da un pacchetto sorgente Debian
    [patchutils];
  - dscverify: controlla la firma e la somma di controllo MD5 di un file
    dsc rispetto al più recente portachiavi Debian nel sistema [gnupg |
    gnupg2, debian-keyring];
  - edit-patch: aggiunge/modifica una patch da un pacchetto sorgente e fa
    il commit delle modifiche [quilt | dpatch | cdbs];
  - getbuildlog: scarica i log di compilazione di un pacchetto da Debian
    auto-builders [wget];
  - git-deborig: cerca di produrre il file Debian orig.tar usando
    git-archive(1) [libdpkg-perl, libgit-wrapper-perl, liblist-compare-erl,
    libstring-shellquote-perl, libtry-tiny-perl];
  - grep-excuses: usa grep sulle motivazioni di britney per trovare cosa
    sta succedendo ai pacchetti dell'utilizzatore [libdbd-pg-perl, libterm-
    size-perl, libyaml-syck-perl, wget, w3m];
  - hardening-check: riporta le caratteristiche di hardening di un set di
    binari;
  - list-unreleased: cerca pacchetti marcati UNRELEASED nel loro changelog;
  - ltnu (Long Time No Upload): elenca tutti gli aggiornamenti di pacchetti
    dall'autore del caricamento o manutentore specificato e li visualizza
    ordinati in base all'ultimo caricamento, prima i caricamenti più
    vecchi;
  - manpage-alert: individua gli eseguibili che non hanno le pagine di
    manuale corrispondenti [man-db];
  - mass-bug: segnala in massa bug [bsd-mailx | mailx];
  - mergechanges: fa il merge di file .changes dallo stesso rilascio, ma
    compilati su architetture differenti;
  - mk-build-deps: genera, a partire da un nome di pacchetto o un file
    control, un pacchetto binario che può essere installato per soddisfare
    le dipendenze di compilazione dei pacchetti dati [equivs];
  - mk-origtargz: rinomina gli archivi tar originali, cambiando in modo
    opzionale la compressione e rimuovendo file non desiderati
    [libfile-which-perl, unzip, xz-utils, file];
  - namecheck: verifica che nomi di progetto non siano già stati usati;
  - nmudiff: prepara un diff di questa versione (presumibilmente un NMU
    rispetto alla versione precedentemente rilasciata (come da changelog) e
    invia il diff al BTS [patchutils, mutt];
  - origtargz: recupera l'archivio tar originale di un pacchetto Debian da
    varie fonti e lo spacchetta [pristine-tar, pristine-lfs];
  - plotchangelog: visualizza graficamente informazioni da un changelog
    usando gnuplot [libtimedate-perl, gnuplot];
  - pts-subscribe: fa la sottoscrizione al PTS (Package Tracking System)
    per un limitato periodo di tempo [bsd-mailx | mailx, at];
  - rc-alert: elenca i pacchetti installati che hanno bug critici per il
    rilascio [wget | curl];
  - reproducible-check: fa un rapporto sullo stato di riproducibilità dei
    pacchetti installati. Per maggiori dettagli vedere
    <https://reproducible-builds.org>;
  - rmadison: fa interrogazioni remote sui pacchetti nel database
    dell'archivio Debian [liburi-perl, wget | curl];
  - sadt: esegue test DEP-8 [python3-debian];
  - salsa: manipola repository e utenti di salsa.debian.org
    [libgitlab-api-v4-perl];
  - suspicious-source: stampa una lista di file che non sono file sorgenti
    comuni [python3-magic];
  - svnpath: stampa il percorso del repository Subversion di un checkout
    Subversion; gestisce anche il calcolo dei percorsi per rami e tag in un
    modo indipendente dal repository. Usato da debcommit per generare tag
    svn [subversion];
  - tagpending: viene eseguito in un albero sorgente Debian e marca come
    pendenti i bug che devono essere chiusi nell'ultimo changelog;
  - transition-check: verifica una lista di pacchetti di sorgenti per
    vedere se sono coinvolti in transizioni per i quali il caricamento in
    unstable è attualmente bloccato [libwww-perl, libyaml-syck-perl];
  - uscan: scansiona automaticamente alla ricerca di aggiornamenti degli
    autori originali e li scarica. uscan può anche chiamare un programma
    come uupdate per cercare di aggiornare la versione debianizzata in base
    al nuovo aggiornamento. Sebbene uscan potrebbe essere utilizzato per
    rilasciare automaticamente la versione aggiornata, è probabilmente
    meglio non farlo senza testarla prima. uscan può anche verificare firme
    OpenPGP separate se è nota la chiave di firma degli autori originali
    [file, gpgv | gpgv2, gnupg | gnupg2, libfile-dirlist-perl,
    libfile-touch-perl, libfile-which-perl, liblwp-protocol-https-perl,
    libmoo-perl, libwww-perl, unzip, xz-utils]*
  - uupdate: aggiorna il pacchetto con un archivio o patch da un autore
    originale; ciò può essere d'aiuto se si deve aggiornare il proprio
    pacchetto. Cerca di applicare i diff più recenti al pacchetto e dice
    quanto successo ha avuto [patch];
  - what-patch: determina quale sistema di patch, se esiste, è usato da
    un pacchetto di sorgenti [patchutils];
  - whodepends: trova quali manutentori hanno pacchetti che dipendono da un
    dato pacchetto;
  - who-permits-upload: recupera informazioni sulle liste di controllo
    degli accessi dei Debian Maintainer [gnupg | gnupg2,
    libencode-locale-perl, libwww-perl, debian-keyring];
  - who-uploads: determina chi ha aggiornato più recentemente un pacchetto
    nell'archivio Debian [gnupg | gnupg2, debian-keyring,
    debian-maintainers, wget];
  - wnpp-alert: elenca i pacchetti installati che sono orfani o sono in
    attesa di essere adottati [wget | curl];
  - wnpp-check: verifica se c'è un bug aperto con una richiesta di
    impacchettamento o l'intenzione di impacchettare un pacchetto [wget |
    curl];
  - wrap-and-sort: spezza le righe lunghe e ordina gli elementi nella fase
    di impacchettamento dei file [python3-debian];
  - /usr/share/doc/devscripts/examples: questa directory contiene esempi di
    script procmail ed exim per mettere in ordine la posta che arriva dalle
    mailing list Debian.
