Bug#387413: uniq-dctrl wanted

[Guillem Jover]

Hi,

At work I wrote some scripts to generate the delta status between two
distros in patch and version comparison forms. And I needed a
uniq-dctrl, which I implemented really cheaply with gawk. This of
course cannot be used as a general purpose tool and should probably
not be included in the package, but anyway others may find it useful,
or something. ;)

Attached the tiny script.

regards,
guillem

#!/usr/bin/gawk -f

BEGIN {
  RS=""
  FS="\n"
  old_pkg=""
  pkg=""
}

{
  # FIXME: We assume the Packages field is always the first one.
  pkg=$1
  if (old_pkg != pkg) {
    print $0
    print ""
    old_pkg=$1
  }
}
