em_newer(1)
NAME
em_newer - emdebian target package version check
SYNOPSIS
em_newer PACKAGE
DESCRIPTION
em_newer performs a similar function to rmadison - it checks the
version of the requested source package in Debian against the version
of the same source package in the Emdebian target repository using dpkg
--compare-versions.
Unlike rmadison, em_newer em_newer uses data downloaded by emtargetcmp
and apt-cross -c so as long as these are up to date, em_newer does not
need internet access every time it is run.
If the Debian version is newer, em_newer simply outputs a message to
that effect, indicating that an upload is needed.
COMMANDS
em_newer takes only one argument, a package name.
