## NAME
       transition-check - check a package list for involvement in transitions

## SYNOPSIS
       **transition-check** **--help**|**--version**

       **transition-check** [**-f**|**--filename=**_FILENAME_] [_source_ _package_ _list_]

## DESCRIPTION
       **transition-check** checks whether any of the listed source packages are involved in a
       transition for which uploads to unstable are currently blocked.

       If neither a filename nor a list of packages is supplied, **transition-check** will use the
       source package name from _debian/control_.

## OPTIONS
### -f --filename=
           Read a source package name from _filename_, which should be a Debian package control file
           or _.changes_ file, and add that package to the list of packages to check.

## EXIT STATUS
       The exit status indicates whether any of the packages examined were found to be involved in a
       transition.

       0   Either **--help** or **--version** was used, or none of the packages examined was involved in a
           transition.

       1   At least one package examined is involved in a current transition.
