NAME
check-needs-packaging - checks for bugs that require new packaging
SYNOPSIS
check-needs-packaging
DESCRIPTION
check-needs-packaging is a script that reads the tile of bugs tagged
needs-packaging and assumes the first word is the name of the software
/ package. It then checks to see, via rmadison, if it is packaged for
Ubuntu, then if it is packaged for Debian, then if there is a Debian
ITP (Intent to Package) bug report or a Debian bug report requesting a
package.
With this information one can update an Ubuntu needs-packaging bug
report with information that the software is already packaged, that the
bug should be a sync request (not a needs-packaging bug), or link to
the upstream Debian bug report.
