# getbuildlog(1)

download build logs from Debian auto-builders

## NAME

getbuildlog - download build logs from Debian auto-builders

## SYNOPSIS

**getbuildlog** *package* \[*version-pattern*\] \[*architecture-pattern*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**getbuildlog** downloads build logs of *package* from Debian auto-builders. It downloads build logs of all versions and for all architectures if *version-pattern* and *architecture-pattern* are not specified or empty, otherwise only build logs whose versions match *version-pattern* and build logs whose architectures match *architecture-pattern* will be downloaded. The version and architecture patterns are interpreted as extended regular expressions as described in [**grep**(1)](/grep/1.md).

If *version-pattern* is "last" then only the logs for the most recent version of *package* found on buildd.debian.org will be downloaded.

If *version-pattern* is "last-all" then the logs for the most recent version found on each build log index will be downloaded.
