ltnu - Man Page
lists packages of a maintainer ordered by last upload
Synopsis
env DEBEMAIL=maintainer ltnu [-m]
ltnu [-m] maintainer
ltnu --help
Description
ltnu (Long Time No Upload) queries the public mirror of the Ultimate Debian Database (udd-mirror.debian.net) for all uploads of packages by the given uploader or maintainer and displays them ordered by the last upload of that package to Debian Unstable, oldest uploads first.
Its primary purpose is to check which of your own or your team's packages haven't been uploaded for a long time and likely need a packaging revamp. It's less suitable for MIA team purposes as it doesn't make a difference with regards to who actually uploaded a package.
Options
- -m
Only search in the Maintainer field and ignore the Uploaders field.
Parameters
The maintainer/uploader to query can be given either by setting $DEBEMAIL as environment variable or as single commandline parameter.
If a commandline parameter does not contain an @, @debian.org is appended, e.g. ltnu abe queries for abe@debian.org.
Exceptions are some shortcuts for common, long e-mail addresses. So far implemented shortcuts:
- pkg-gnustep
pkg-gnustep-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
- pkg-perl
pkg-perl-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
- pkg-zsh
pkg-zsh-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org
- qa
packages@qa.debian.org
Environment
The following environment variables are honoured:
- DEBEMAIL
Used for querying if no parameter is given.
- PAGER
Used by psql as pager.
Example
$ ltnu pkg-zsh

ltnu uses the PostgreSQL client command psql and hence needs Debian's postgresql-client package to be installed.
