## DESCRIPTION

Debian packages reviewing tool.

revu-report is a reviewing tool from the revu-tools package, aimed to helping reviewers of Debian packages in their task. revu-report uses revu-build and revu-orig to generate a full report in the current folder.

Among the informations revu-report gives are:

- Whether the package is a Debian-native ;
- Whether the package contains a usable debian/watch file ;
- Whether new versions of the program are available, using the debian/watch file with uscan ;
- Whether the md5 sums of the upstream tarball and the orig.tar.gz are identical, and whether this is normal or not ;
- Whether there is a diff between the extracted upstream tarball and orig.tar.gz.
- Whether the package fails to build from source in pbuilder ;
- Whether lintian and linda are happy with this package ;
- Whether running `debuild -S -sa` on this package generates files in the diff outside of debian/.

## OPTIONS

`--help | -h`

- Show informations about the program and the usage.

``upstream tarball``

- Indicate what file to use as upstream tarball. This is optional since revu-report can download the upstream tarball using debian/watch and/or detect its presence automatically in the folder.

``dsc file``

- Indicate what dsc file to use. This is optional since revu-report can detect the dsc file automatically in the folder. Note that this argument can only be given if the tarball was given as first one.
