NAME

       chdist - script to easily play with several distributions

SYNOPSIS

       chdist [options] [command] [command parameters]

DESCRIPTION

       chdist is a rewrite of what used to be known as 'MultiDistroTools' (or mdt). Its use is to create 'APT trees' for several distributions,
       making it easy to query the status of packages in other distribution without using chroots, for instance.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	   Provide a usage message.

       -d, --data-dir DIR
	   Choose data directory (default: $HOME/.chdist/).

       -a, --arch ARCH
	   Choose architecture (default: `dpkg --print-architecture`).

       --version
	   Display version information.

COMMANDS

       create DIST [URL RELEASE SECTIONS]
	   Prepare a new tree named DIST

       apt-get DIST <update|source|...>
	   Run apt-get inside DIST

       apt-cache DIST <show|showsrc|...>
	   Run apt-cache inside DIST

       apt-rdepends DIST [...]
	   Run apt-rdepends inside DIST

       src2bin DIST SRCPKG
	   List binary packages for SRCPKG in DIST

       bin2src DIST BINPKG
	   List source package for BINPKG in DIST

       compare-packages DIST1 DIST2 [DIST3, ...]
       compare-bin-packages DIST1 DIST2 [DIST3, ...]
	   List versions of packages in several DISTributions

       compare-versions DIST1 DIST2
       compare-bin-versions DIST1 DIST2
	   Same as compare-packages/compare-bin-packages, but also runs dpkg --compare-versions and display where the package is newer.

       compare-src-bin-packages DIST
	   Compare sources and binaries for DIST

       compare-src-bin-versions DIST
	   Same as compare-src-bin-packages, but also run dpkg --compare-versions and display where the package is newer

       grep-dctrl-packages DIST [...]
	   Run grep-dctrl on *_Packages inside DIST

       grep-dctrl-sources DIST [...]
	   Run grep-dctrl on *_Sources inside DIST

       list
	   List available DISTs

NAME

       dglob - Expand package names or files matching a pattern

SYNOPSIS

       dglob [-a] pattern

       dglob [-0] -f pattern

DESCRIPTION

       dglob lists packages names matching a pattern. It can also list all the files they contain. By default dglob only searches installed
       packages; the -a switch widens the search (see "OPTIONS"). The list is written to stdout, one name per line.

       grep-dctrl(1) and grep-aptavail(1) are used to search the list of packages, so you should refer to its documentation for information on how
       patterns are matched.  By default, all packages whose name contains the given string will be matched, but several options are available to
       modify this behavior (see "OPTIONS").

       If you use dglob with the -f option, all files in the matched packages are listed instead of their names. If you do not use de -a switch,
       only existing, plain (i.e. no symlinks, directories or other special ones) files are listed. If the -a switch is use then all files will be
       listed both for installed and non-installed packages. The filenames are written to stdout, one file per line. You can use the -0 option to
       get the filenames separated by '' instead of a newline.

OPTIONS

       dglob supports the following options:

       -a  Search through all available packages, not just installed ones.  If set, grep-aptavail(1) is used.

       -f  List all files in the matched packages. By default, this lists only installed (i.e.	locally existing) files from installed packages.
	   If used together with -a then it will list all files both of installed and non-installed packages by mean of apt-file(1). If apt-file
	   is not installed, using -f together with -a is rather pointless.

       -0  When listing files (with -f) use '' as a separator instead of a newline. When specified without -f, this options does nothing.

       -r, -e, -i, -X, -v
	   These options are passed directly to grep-dctrl(1) or to grep-aptavail(1) to modify how the pattern is matched.  See grep-dctrl(1).

FILES

       /var/lib/dpkg/status
	   dpkg(8) status file, which serves as source for the list of available and installed packages.
