Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.43
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
this bug report is composed of several parts:
* I was hoping that dd-list would have a way to be fed a list a
packages (just the names), *and* a file (or stream) which could
contain information about them, and many others, in Debian control
format (namely, a Sources[.gz] file).
(I *thought* this was what the -d option was for, but it is not. See
below about this confusion.)
Hence, I think it would be great if there was a --sources option
that could parse a Sources.gz instead of calling apt-cache showsrc
repeteadly, since it would be faster (if you parse the Sources.gz
into memory, just keeping a package => maint, uploaders mapping,
that is.)
* All the same, it just occurred to me that dd-list could be proactive
in finding this Sources.gz file, first in /org/ftp.debian.org, and
then by catting together /var/lib/apt/lists/*_Sources. Incidentally
I wrote code in Python the other day to do this, but I don't think a
reimplementation of dd-list in Python would be welcome. :-) But this
is just a not necessary nicety, and --sources should be enough.
* Regarding my confusion about -d, could you apply this diff to
documentation?:
