Tools for Debian Release Team work

This crate includes tools to help with typical work of Debian's release team. Currently, it processes excuses.yaml to check for packages that require a binNMU for migration to testing, prepares a list of binNMUs for transitions, and so on.

Usage:

drt-tools supports common options:

• -n: Generate a list of wb commands, but do not schedule them.
• -f,--force: Force processing even if some conditions are not met.

The following commands are provided:

• grep-excuses: Mostly the same as the tool of the same name from devscripts.
• process-excuses: Download and process excuses.yaml to generate a list binNMUs for packages that require them for migration. Packages that have other issues preventing them from migrating, are not considered.
• process-unblocks: Download and process excuses.yaml to generate a list of unblocks for packages in tpu and some other cases.
• nmu-transition: Take a list packages copies from ben's output and schedules binNMUs. This command supports multiple options:
  • -m message: the binNMU message
  • --dw dependency: additionally generate a dw command with the given dependency
  • --extra-depends dependency: schedule the binNMUs with an extra dependency
  • --bp priority: specify a build priority
  • --suite suite: specify a suite
  • -a architecture: use a different architecture than ANY
• usrmerged: Check for packages moving files from / to /usr or vice versa.
