linting wrapper for dput

Fri Sep 1 00:54:02 UTC 2017

Hi all,

If, like me, you spend time preparing uploads for ppas, the ubuntu
development release, SRUs and/or debian, sometimes you no doubt screw up
and upload a package without ~ppa1 to your ppa or upload a package with
version X.Y~17.04 to xenial (at least, I do this sort of thing quite a
lot). I've written a wrapper around dput that checks for many of these
mistakes before invoking real dput:

    https://gist.github.com/mwhudson/616499edb1191bd99c987bbbd8781ce9

(it also checks that for SRU bugs the listed bugs have open tasks for the
appropriate distro / source packages).

I've only been using this for a couple of days but I hope it's going to
save me a bunch of time, maybe it will for you too :)

Cheers,
mwh
