Bug#174853: RFA: grep-dctrl -- Grep Debian package information
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2002-12-31
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the grep-dctrl package.
I have special requirements for the adopter of this package.
Watch this bug for details. In the meantime, contact me
before doing anything (certainly before retitling this bug or
making the new-maintainer upload).
The package description is:
The grep-dctrl program can answer such questions as
* "What is the Debian package foo?"
* "Which version of the Debian package bar is now current?"
* "Which Debian packages does John Doe maintain?"
* "Which Debian packages are somehow related to the Scheme
programming language?"
and with some help
* "Who maintain the essential packages of a Debian system?"
given a useful input file.
.
It is a specialised grep program that is meant for processing any
file which has the general format of a Debian package control file.
These include the dpkg available file, the dpkg status file, and the
Packages files on a distribution medium (such as a Debian CD-ROM or
an FTP site carrying Debian).
