NAME

   who-permits-upload - look-up Debian Maintainer access control lists

SYNOPSIS

   who-permits-upload [-h] [-s keyring] [-d dm_url] [-s search_type] query
   [query ...]

DESCRIPTION

   who-permits-upload looks up the given Debian Maintainer (DM) upload
   permissions from ftp-master.debian.org and parses them in a human
   readable way. The tool can search by DM name, sponsor (the person who
   granted the permission) and by package.

OPTIONS

   --dmfile=dm_url, -d dm_url
       Retrieve the DM permission file from the supplied URL. When this
       option is not present, the default value
       https://ftp-master.debian.org/dm.txt is used.

   --help, -h
       Display a usage summary and exit.

   --keyring=keyring, -s keyring
       Use the supplied GnuPG keyrings to look-up GPG fingerprints from
       the DM permission file. When not present, the default Debian
       Developer and Maintainer keyrings are used
       (/usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg and
       /usr/share/keyrings/debian-maintainers.gpg, installed by the
       debian-keyring package).

       Separate keyrings with a colon ":".

   --search=search_type, -s search_type
       Modify the look-up behavior. This influences the interpretation of
       the query argument. Supported search types are:

       package
           Search for a source package name. This is also the default when
           --search is omitted.  Since package names are unique, this will
           return given ACLs - if any - for a single package.

       uid Search for a Debian Maintainer. This should be (a fraction of)
           a name. It will return all ACLs assigned to matching
           maintainers.

       sponsor
           Search for a sponsor (i.e. a Debian Developer) who granted DM
           permissions. This will return all ACLs given by the supplied
           developer.

           Note that this is an expensive operation which may take some
           time.

   query
       A case sensitive argument to be looked up in the ACL permission
       file. The exact interpretation of this argument is dependent by the
       --search argument.

       This argument can be repeated.

EXIT VALUE

   0   Success

   1   An error occurred

   2   The command line was not understood

EXAMPLES

   who-permits-upload --search=sponsor arno@debian.org
       Search for all DM upload permissions given by the UID
       "arno@debian.org". Note, that only primary UIDs will match.

   who-permits-upload -s=sponsor "Arno Tll"
       Same as above, but use a full name instead.

   who-permits-upload apache2
       Look up who gave upload permissions for the apache2 source package.

   who-permits-upload --search=uid "Paul Tagliamonte"
       Look up all DM upload permissions given to "Paul Tagliamonte".
