NAME¶
xcontrol - preprocessor for debian/control files
SYNOPSIS¶
xcontrol build
xcontrol check
DESCRIPTION¶
xcontrol rewrites the debian/xcontrol file in a Debian source package into a
policy-compliant debian/control file, omitting any information that cannot be
expressed properly. This allows the maintainer to easily synchronize
debian/control to the more verbose debian/xcontrol.
OPTIONS¶
Currently, only two subcommands are allowed:
- build
- Read debian/xcontrol, output policy-compliant version on stdout.
- check
- Verify whether debian/control is up to date.
