.TH SETUPPY-DEBIAN-VERSIONS-MATCH 1
.SH NAME
setuppy-debian-versions-match \- do setup.py and debian/changelog match?
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B setuppy-debian-versions-match
.SH DESCRIPTION
When making a Debian package out of Python code that uses distutils,
it is good to have 
.B setup.py --version
and the 
.B debian/changelog
file match as far as version information is concerned.
This utility checks that they do match.
It compares only the upstream portion of the Debian version
(everything before the last dash in the version string).
.SH "EXIT STATUS"
Exit code is 0 (true) if the versions match,
and 1 (false) otherwise.
