Dear Maintainer,

Here is what I am currently doing to do a uscan check from dry:

$ mkdir debian
$ UDDquery -A -t -c "select watch_file from upstream where source='$PKG_SRC';"
$ echo "fake (0) UNRELEASED;" > debian/changelog
$ uscan --report-status

So is there a possibility to be more direct like the following:

$ UDDquery -A -t -c "select watch_file from upstream where source='$PKG_SRC';"
| uscan --report-status

or by adding any extra option for such an ability?
Would this be useful to add?

Regards,
Patrice

Empty.

export DEBEMAIL="patrice.duroux@gmail.com"

The BTS isn't a support forum for "how do I do X queries".

In any case, afaict the manpage already answers this exact question:

<quote>
--package package
    Specify the name of the package to check for rather than examining
debian/changelog; this requires the --upstream-version (unless a
version is specified in the watch file) and --watchfile options as
well. Furthermore, no directory scanning will be done and nothing will
be downloaded. This option automatically sets --no-download and --skip-
signature; and probably most useful in conjunction with the DEHS system
(and --dehs).

Hi Adam,

Sorry to have disturbed you and BTS.
1. My issue was just a 'wishlist'.
2. Your advice does not fit perfectly my needs, but ok for the case of
official Debian packages like my UDD query was suggesting.
3. Is forum.debian.net what you recommend to me then? Or the
debian-user mailing list? Or https://www.debian-fr.org/? ...
4.  Do you want me to close this?

Regards,
Patrice
