Binary package “revu-tools” in ubuntu oracular
reviewing tools for Debian packages
REVU-Tools is a set of scripts to help Debian packages reviewers in their task.
It gathers fours scripts: revu-build, revu-orig, revu-report and a hook script
for pbuilder, used by revu-build to perform build tests.

Among the information REVU-tools gives are:
- Whether the package is a Debian-native
- Whether the package contains a usable debian/watch file
- Whether new versions of the program are available, using the debian/watch
file with uscan
- Whether the md5 sums of the upstream tarball and the orig.tar.gz are
identical, and whether this is normal or not
- Whether there is a diff between the extracted upstream tarball and
orig.tar.gz
- Whether the package fails to build from source in pbuilder
- Whether lintian and linda are happy with this package
- Whether running debuild -S -sa on this package generates files in the diff
outside of debian/
