## NAME
       dd-list - nicely list .deb packages and their maintainers

## SYNOPSIS
       **dd-list** [**-hiusV**] [**--help**] [**--stdin**] [**--sources** _Sources_file_] [**--dctrl**] [**--version**] [**--upload**‐‐
       **ers**] [_package_ ...]

## DESCRIPTION
       **dd-list** produces nicely formatted lists of Debian (.deb) packages and their maintainers.

       Input is a list of source or binary package names on the command line (or the standard  input
       if  **--stdin**  is  given).   Output  is a list of the following format, where package names are
       source packages by default:

              J. Random Developer <<jrandom@debian.org>>
                     j-random-package
                     j-random-other

              Diana Hacker <<diana@example.org>>
                     fun-package
                     more-fun-package

       This is useful when you want, for example, to produce a list of packages that need to  atten‐
       tion from their maintainers, e.g., to be rebuilt when a library version transition happens.

## OPTIONS
### -h --help
              Print brief help message.

### -i --stdin
              Read  package  names  from the standard input, instead of taking them from the command
              line. Package names are whitespace delimited.

### -d --dctrl
              Read package list from standard input in the format of a Debian package control  file.
              This  includes the status file, or output of apt-cache. This is the fastest way to use
              dd-list, as it uses the maintainer information from the input instead  of  looking  up
              the maintainer of each listed package.

              If  no  _Source:_  line is given, the _Package:_ name is used for output, which might be a
              binary package name.

### -z --uncompress
              Try to uncompress the --dctrl input before parsing.  Supported compression formats are
              gz, bzip2 or xz.

### -s --sources
              Read package information from the specified _Sources_file_s.  This can be given multiple
              times.  The files can be gz, bzip2 or xz compressed.  If the filename does not end  in
              _.gz_, _.bz2_ or _.xz_, then the **-z** option must be used.

              If  no _Sources_file_s are specified, dd-list will ask apt-get for an appropriate set of
              sources  (if  _apt_  is  at  version  greater  than  1.1.8),  else  any  files  matching
              _/var/lib/apt/lists/*_source_Sources_ will be used.

### -u --uploaders
              Also list developers who are named as uploaders of packages, not only the maintainers;
              this is the default behaviour, use --nouploaders to prevent it.  Uploaders  are  indi‐
              cated with "(U)" appended to the package name.

### -nou --nouploaders
              Only list package Maintainers, do not list Uploaders.

### -b --print-binary
              Use  binary package names in the output instead of source package names (has no effect
              with **--dctrl** if the _Package:_ line contains source package names).

### -V --version
              Print the version.
