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.
