dcmd

4:30am and I can't sleep... which in a way is good since it gave me some time to think about the script I posted yesterday and how it could be generalized into a simpler and far more powerful dcmd script which just expands any .dsc/.changes argument found in the command line:

elegiac$ dcmd scp -C /tmp/1/dasher_4.4.2-1.dsc romain@yeast:/tmp
dasher_4.4.2.orig.tar.gz                      100% 8728KB   4.3MB/s   00:02    
dasher_4.4.2-1.diff.gz                        100% 5231     5.1KB/s   00:00    
dasher_4.4.2-1.dsc                            100% 1259     1.2KB/s   00:00    
elegiac$

Its only limitation is that the .dsc/.changes must be local in order for Python to parse it.

elegiac$ dcmd sha1sum dasher_4.4.2-2_amd64.changes                                                   
87cd6eb29d5f54c1547b2bf7531a0e303dbc2fa3  dasher_4.4.2-2.dsc
70d0729c8955309efa230832cf5e82bd5e28cf7c  dasher_4.4.2-2.diff.gz
a5c15d3e6c3b297897651e9a5aa40451c73b2420  dasher-data_4.4.2-2_all.deb
68383058289fb41cdf19d57225afafafd4032719  dasher_4.4.2-2_amd64.deb
481e2008ad78be0721335634954dbe3a0439914b  dasher_4.4.2-2_amd64.changes
elegiac$

Sound useful?

PS: Christoph, I know that dput supports scp and rsync, but it requires a host definition in ~/.dput.cf, and works only on .changes files.
