Subject: debman: Require '-f package.deb' to read a local .deb. Implement '-p
X-Git-Url: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~cjwatson/git?p=bin.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=c554251571769f112578257cd55ca6ad08997380

debman: Require '-f package.deb' to read a local .deb. Implement '-p
package' to download the named package and read from it. The idea for the
latter came from David B. Harris.
