pkg-perl-tools 0.82                                2025-02-28                                dpt-packagecheck(1)

dptpackagecheck performs various checks of package sources and tries to correct them in accordance with
       the policies of the Debian Perl Group.

   Packageselectionoptionsdptpackagecheck can operate either on a single package, or on all packages maintained by the group.

       To run the checks on all group packages, use the -c option with working directory containing packages/
       directory.

       To run the checks on individual package, use -ppackagetop-directory, where top-directory is the
       directory containing the packages/ directory.

   Repositoryinteraction
       If the -a option is given, changes are committed to the repository by calling "mr commit".

       If the -n option is given, no changes are committed.

       If neither option is given, dptpackagecheck asks for confirmation before calling "mr commit".

       Note that "mr commit" also pushes the changes to the remote repository.

   Checkselectionoptions-A  Run all the checks.
