deb-scrub-obsolete [-h] [--no-update-changelog] [--version] [--upgrade-release=RELEASE]
DESCRIPTION¶
Scrub a Debian source package from unnecessary versioned depends, conflicts and maintscripts.
Specifically, it make the following categories of changes:
- •
- obsolete maintscript entries for upgrades from versions older than that in $compat_release
- •
- depends on packages that are essential since $compat_release
- •
- build-depends on packages that are build-essential since $compat_release
- •
- replacing dependencies on "transitional dummy packages" with the real thing (if satisfiable since $compat_release)
- •
- conflicts with packages that are gone since before $compat_release
- •
- version constraints in build-depends or depends that are met by the package in $compat_release
