Description
dptnew-upstream queries UDD's DMD for newer upstream versions, compares the results to the local git
clones, categorizes the found packages, and outputs tables by category. If this reminds you of PET --
you're not wrong to assume that there was some inspiration taken from there.

Name
dpt-new-upstream - list packages with newer upstream versions
Options
--help|-h
Show this help.
--man|-m
Show full manpage.
--limit|-lPACKAGES_LIST_FILE
Output the intersection of the full result set and of the set of packages found in
"PACKAGES_LIST_FILE".
"PACKAGES_LIST_FILE" must be in YAML format used by Tails build manifests, for example:
<https://nightly.tails.boum.org/build_Tails_ISO_stable/lastSuccessful/archive/latest.build-manifest>
Known issue: the current implementation assumes that every binary package on this list is built from
an identically named source package.
