Bug#590866: O: quinn-diff -- Compares a Packages file and a Sources file
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The wanna-build instance on buildd.debian.org no longer uses quinn-diff to
calculate the packages to be built. Thus I'm orphaning this package. It might
still be useful for people who look for a fast, scriptable tool that tells them
which packages are missing in their archives. So maybe another user would like
to step up for it.
Package: quinn-diff
Description: Compares a Packages file and a Sources file
This is a program to compare a Packages file and a Sources file
to see which programs need (re)compiling for any given architecture.
.
Quinn diff can be told about architecture specific packages (e.g. lilo) and
can easily exclude them via a Packages-arch-specific file. The
output is a list of source packages complete with accurate section
and version information, suitable for use in build daemons or just in
a script to auto-snarf the necessary source.
