GREP-EXCUSES(1)                      General Commands Manual                      GREP-EXCUSES(1)

NAME
       grep-excuses - search the testing excuses files for a specific maintainer

SYNOPSIS
       grep-excuses [options] [maintainer|package]

DESCRIPTION
       grep-excuses  downloads  the autoremovals and update_excuses.html files and greps them for
       the specified maintainer or package name.  The wget package is required for  this  script.
       If  no  name  is  given on the command line, first the environment variable DEBFULLNAME is
       used if it is defined, and failing that, the configuration  variable  described  below  is
       used.

OPTIONS
       --no-conf, --noconf
              Do  not  read  any  configuration files.  This can only be used as the first option
              given on the command-line.

       --wipnity, -w
              Get information from  <https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php>.   One  or  more  package
              names must be given when using this option.

       --help Show a brief usage message.

       --version
              Show version and copyright information.

       --autopkgtests
              Investigate  and show autopkgtest (ci.debian.net) failures in your packages but ap-
              parently caused by new versions of other packages trying to migrate.   (--no-autop-
              kgtests can be used to override GREP_EXCUSES_AUTOPKGTESTS.)

       --no-autoremovals
              Investigate and show only testing propagation excuses, not autoremovals.

       --debug
              Print debugging output to stderr (including url(s) fetched).

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
       The two configuration files /etc/devscripts.conf and ~/.devscripts are sourced in that or-
       der to set configuration variables.  Command line options can be used to override configu-
       ration  file  settings.   Environment variable settings are ignored for this purpose.  The
       currently recognised variable is:

       GREP_EXCUSES_MAINTAINER
              The default maintainer, email or package to grep for if none is  specified  on  the
              command line.

       GREP_EXCUSES_AUTOPKGTESTS
              Boolean:  whether  to  show  autopkgtest  failures in other packages.  See --autop-
              kgtests.
