Package: distro-info
Version: 0.10
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

ISTM that 'debian-distro-info' would greatly benefit from a mode
where it prints all/any of the csv fields for a selected codename.

e.g.

*option* = currently unsupported/desired command line option

$ debian-distro-info --stable *--release*
2013-05-04

$ debian-distro-info --oldstable *--eol*
2014-05-04

$ debian-distro-info --oldstable *--version*
6.0

$ debian-distro-info --testing *--version*
8.0

$ debian-distro-info --testing *--release*
undefined

$ debian-distro-info --stable *--allinfo*
version:    7.0
codename:   Wheezy
series:     wheezy
created:    2011-02-06
release:    2013-05-04
eol:        undefined


(note there's also a contradiction here with the new versioning
scheme.  i.e. Wheezy is listed as version 7.0, but i think it's
now supposed to be just "7", as the middle number of a version
has been deprecated, that's probably a distro-info-data bug?.)

thanks,
--stephen
