About DCheck

Many disagreements have escalated into larger conflicts due to inconsistent interpretation and application of DFSG and Policies. This lack of clear understanding leads to significant load on review teams which results in one-off reviews (via NEW) and sometimes a very occasional re-skim (via binNEW) and ultimately results in significantly reduced enforcement of core principals.

DCheck (.deb checker) is designed to resolve these issues by providing a checklist-based approach to reviews, along with context-relevant documentation, historical data, and collaboration.

Three interfaces are (will eventually be) provided:

  • Command Line Interface (CLI)

  • Graphical User Interface (GUI)

  • Web Application (WEB)
