The Debian plugin

Commands

debian file [--exact] [--mode {path,filename,exactfilename}] [--branch {oldstable,stable,testing,unstable,experimental}] [--section {main,contrib,non-free}] <file name>

Returns the package(s) containing the <file name>. --mode defaults to path, and defines how to search. --branch defaults to stable, and defines in what branch to search.

debian bug <num>

debian stats <source package>

Reports various statistics (from http://packages.qa.debian.org/) about <source package>.

debian incoming [--{regexp,arch} <value>] [<glob> ...]

Checks debian incoming for a matching package name. The arch parameter defaults to i386; --regexp returns only those package names that match a given regexp, and normal matches use standard *nix globbing.

debian version [--exact] [--searchon {names,all,sourcenames}] [--branch {oldstable,stable,testing,unstable,experimental}] [--section {main,contrib,non-free}] <package name>

Returns the current version(s) of the Debian package <package name>. --exact, if given, means you want only the <package name>, and not package names containing this name. --searchon defaults to names, and defines where to search. --branch defaults to all, and defines in what branch to search. --section defaults to all, and defines in what section to search.

debian new [{main,contrib,non-free}] [<version>] [<glob>]

Checks for packages that have been added to Debian's unstable branch in the past week. If no glob is specified, returns a list of all packages. If no section is specified, defaults to main.
