dscverify

SYNOPSIS
       dscverify [--keyring keyring] ... changes_or_dsc_filename ...

DESCRIPTION
       dscverify  checks  that the GPG or PGP signatures on the given .changes
       or .dsc files are good signatures made by keys in  the  current  Debian
       keyrings,  found in the debian-keyring and debian-maintainers packages.
       (Additional keyrings can be specified using the  --keyring  option  any
       number  of  times.)   It then checks that the other files listed in the
       .changes or .dsc files have the correct sizes and checksums  (MD5  plus
       SHA1  and  SHA256  if the latter are present).  The exit status is 0 if
       there are no problems and non-zero otherwise.

OPTIONS
       --keyring keyring
              Add keyring to the list of keyrings to be used.

       --no-default-keyrings
              Do not use the default set of keyrings.

       --no-conf, --noconf
              Do not read any configuration files.  This can only be  used  as
              the first option given on the command-line.

       --nosigcheck, --no-sig-check, -u
              Skip  the  signature verification step. That is, only verify the
              sizes and checksums of the files listed in the .changes or  .dsc
              files.

       --verbose
              Do not suppress GPG output.


       --help, -h
              Display a help message and exit successfully.

       --version
              Display  version  and copyright information and exit suc-
              cessfully.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
       The   two   configuration   files    /etc/devscripts.conf    and
       ~/.devscripts  are  sourced by a shell in that order to set con-
       figuration variables.  Environment variable settings are ignored
       for  this  purpose.   If  the first command line option given is
       --noconf or --no-conf, then these files will not be  read.   The
       currently recognised variable is:

       DSCVERIFY_KEYRINGS
              This  is  a colon-separated list of extra keyrings to use
              in addition to any specified on the command line.

KEYRING
STANDARD KEYRING LOCATIONS
       By default dscverify searches for the debian-keyring in the fol-
       lowing locations:

       - /org/keyring.debian.org/keyrings/debian-keyring.(gpg|pgp)

       - /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.(pgp|gpg)
