ltnu - lists packages of a maintainer ordered by last upload
Contents
Dependencies
ltnu uses the PostgreSQL client command psql and hence needs Debian's postgresql-client package to be
installed.
Description
ltnu (Long Time No Upload) queries the public mirror of the Ultimate Debian Database
(udd-mirror.debian.net) for all uploads of packages by the given uploader or maintainer and displays them
ordered by the last upload of that package to Debian Unstable, oldest uploads first.
Its primary purpose is to check which of your own or your team's packages haven't been uploaded for a
long time and likely need a packaging revamp. It's less suitable for MIA team purposes as it doesn't make
a difference with regards to who actually uploaded a package.
Environment
The following environment variables are honoured:
DEBEMAIL
Used for querying if no parameter is given.
PAGER
Used by psql as pager.
Example
$ ltnu pkg-zsh
