TAGPENDING(1) TAGPENDING(1) NAME
tagpending - tags bugs that are to be closed in the latest changelog as pending SYNOPSIS
tagpending [options] DESCRIPTION
tagpending parses debian/changelog to determine which bugs would be closed if the package were uploaded. Each bug is then marked as pending, using bts(1) if it is not already so. OPTIONS
-n, --noact Check whether any bugs require tagging, but do not actually do so. -s, --silent Do not output any messages. -v, --verbose List each bug checked and tagged in turn. -f, --force Do not query the BTS, but (re)tag all bugs closed in the changelog. --comments Include the changelog header line and the entries relating to the tagged bugs as comments in the generated mail. This is the default. Note that when used in combination with --to, the header line output will always be that of the most recent version. --no-comments Do not include changelog entries in the generated mail. -c, --confirm Tag bugs as both confirmed and pending. -t, --to version Parse changelogs for all versions strictly greater than version. Equivalent to dpkg-parsechangelog's -v option. -i, --interactive Display the message which would be sent to the BTS and, except when --noact was used, prompt for confirmation before sending it. -w, --wnpp For each bug that does not appear to belong to the current package, check whether it is filed against wnpp. If so, tag it. This allows e.g. ITAs and ITPs closed in an upload to be tagged. SEE ALSO

dpkg-parsechangelog - parse Debian changelog files SYNOPSIS
dpkg-parsechangelog [options] DESCRIPTION
dpkg-parsechangelog reads and parses the changelog of an unpacked Debian source tree and outputs the information in it to standard output in a machine-readable form. OPTIONS
-lchangelogfile Specifies the change log file to read information from. The default is debian/changelog. -Fchangelogformat Specifies the format of the changelog. By default the format is read from a special line near the bottom of the changelog or failing that defaults to the debian standard format. -Llibdir Specify an additional directory to search for parser scripts. This directory is searched before the default directories which are currently /usr/local/lib/dpkg/parsechangelog and /usr/lib/dpkg/parsechangelog. -h, --help Show the usage message and exit. --version Show the version and exit. Parser Options The following options can be used to influence the output of the changelog parser, e.g. the range of entries or the format of the output. They need to be supported by the parser script in question. See also CAVEATS. --format outputformat Set the output format. Currently supported values are dpkg and rfc822. dpkg is the classic output format (from before this option existed) and the default. It consists of one paragraph in Debian control format (see deb-control(5)). If more than one entry is requested, then most fields are taken from the latest entry, except otherwise stated: Source: <pkg name> Version: <version> Distribution: <target distribution> Urgency: <urgency> The highest urgency of all included entries is used. Maintainer: <author> Date: <date> Closes: <bug number> The Closes fields of all included entries are merged. Changes: <changelog entries> The text of all changelog entries is concatenated. To make this field a valid Debian control format multiline field empty lines are replaced with a single full stop and all lines is intended by one space character. The exact content depends on the changelog format. There might be additional user-defined fields present. The rfc822 format uses the same fields but outputs a separate paragraph for each changelog entry so that all metadata for each entry is preserved. --since version, -sversion, -vversion include all changes later than version. --until version, -uversion include all changes earlier than version. --from version, -fversion include all changes equal or later than version. --to version, -tversion include all changes up to or equal than version. --count number, -cnumber, -nnumber include number entries from the top (or the tail if number is lower than 0). --offset number, -onumber change the starting point for --count, counted from the top (or the tail if number is lower than 0). --all include all changes. Note: other options have no effect when this is in use. CAVEATS
All Parser Options except for -v are only supported in dpkg, version 1.14.16 and later. Third party parsers for changelog formats other than debian might not support all options. FILES
debian/changelog The changelog file, used to obtain version-dependent information about the source package, such as the urgency and distribution of an upload, the changes made since a particular release, and the source version number itself. AUTHORS
