REVU Tools

[Raphaël Pinson]

Hello fellow MOTUs,

Just felt like writing a bit of bash tonight after dinner... and
worked on REVU-tools again.
I think I'll upload it to the REVU svn tomorrow, but if any of you
feel like giving some feedback, the tarball can be found at
http://revu.tauware.de/~raphink/revu-tools_0.2.tar.gz .

Changelog :

 - pbuilder-hooks/B01debuildtest :
        * Added directory name detection in
pbuilder-hooks/B01debuildtest to avoid a dirty cd /tmp/buildd/* ;

 - revu-build :
        * Cleaning files from previous runs in revu-build, revu-orig
and revu-report ;
        * Adding PBUILDERHOOKS variable to set the script cleanly ;

 - revu-orig :
        * revu-orig now takes two optional arguments (tarball and dsc)
and can auto-detect them if not given explicitely ;
        * Detecting orig.tar.gz automagically in revu-orig. Using it
as a variable now and detecting Debian-native packages ;
        * Adjusted tarball type detection in revu-orig to untar
upstream tarball ;

 - revu-report :
        * Inverted the tarball and dsc arguments in revu-report (since
tarball is harder to detect)  and made optional arguments ;
        * Automagically decting dsc and tarball in local folder ;
        * Adding report entries for Debian-native packages ;
        * Adapting md5 report entries depending on whether the
upstream tarball is tar.gz or other.


Cheers


Raphaël
