rbdep () {
echo "Reverse build dependencies for $1:"
echo "Reverse build dependencies for $1:" | sed -e "s,.,=,g"
grep-dctrl -F Build-Depends "$1" -s Package
/var/lib/apt/lists/*_Sources | sort -u | awk '{print $2}'
}
Usage: rbdep $packagename
It can be enhanced fairly easily to find orphaned or QA-maintained
packages from that list, which, I believe would be the easiest targets
from an acceptance PoV.
I'll go over the list and see if it'd be easy to split this into two
categories:
* One to migrate N O/QA packages from dpatch to quilt
* One to migrate N others.
The reason behind the split being that the chance of a dpatch->quilt
patch being accepted for an orphaned or QA-maintained package is much
higher, thus, it's a less risky task.
While the task could be considered completed once a patch is sent, even
if it's not accepted, that tends to leave a bad taste behind.
I have a couple of other ideas pending, will post them ASAP.
