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  appar‐
              ently  caused by new versions of other packages trying to migrate.  (--no-autopkgtests
              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  order
       to  set  configuration variables.  Command line options can be used to override configuration
       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 com‐
              mand line.

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