NAME

       check-needs-packaging - checks for bugs that require new packaging

SYNOPSIS

       check-needs-packaging

DESCRIPTION

       check-needs-packaging  is  a  script that reads the tile of bugs tagged
       needs-packaging and assumes the first word is the name of the  software
       /  package.  It then checks to see, via rmadison, if it is packaged for
       Ubuntu, then if it is packaged for Debian, then if there  is  a  Debian
       ITP  (Intent to Package) bug report or a Debian bug report requesting a
       package.

       With this information one can  update  an  Ubuntu  needs-packaging  bug
       report with information that the software is already packaged, that the
       bug should be a sync request (not a needs-packaging bug),  or  link  to
       the upstream Debian bug report.
