whohas 0.21 (Default branch)

whohas is a command line tool that allows you to query several package collections at once. It currently supports Arch Linux (and AUR), Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, openSUSE, Slackware (and linuxpackages.net), Source Mage Linux, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Fink, and MacPorts repositories. whohas was designed to help package maintainers find ebuilds, pkgbuilds, and similar package definitions from other distributions to learn from. However, it can also be used by normal users who want to know which distribution provides certain packages, and which version of a given package is in use in each distribution or in each release of a distribution. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
Gentoo and Fedora were added (again). For Debian, the "testing" repository was enabled in addition to "stable". Performance improvements were made, and wget is no longer depended upon. On Mac OS X, Whohas.app now works without having whohas in your $PATH - the whohas executable is bundled in the app.

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

dwww

DWWW(1) 							      Debian								   DWWW(1)

NAME

       dwww - access documentation via WWW

SYNOPSIS

       http://localhost/dwww/index.html
       dwww
       dwww program-name | package-name

DESCRIPTION

       A  typical Linux system has documentation in many formats (manual pages, info files, READMEs, and so on).  dwww makes it possible to access
       all of these via the same interface, a WWW browser.  This makes it easier to use the documentation.

       To use dwww, load the URL given in the SYNOPSIS.  If you have a web browser installed, you can also just run the dwww command  which  loads
       the  URL.   If  BROWSER	environment  variable  is  set, dwww uses sensible-browser(1) to load the URL.	Otherwise, dwww first tries to use
       browser specified by DWWW_BROWSER or DWWW_X11_BROWSER configuration variable (cf.  dwww(7)), than will use sensible-browser(1) command.

       If optional argument program-name or package-name is specified, dwww will search all documentation related to given program or package.

ENVIRONMENT

       BROWSER
	      Program used to load the above mentioned URL.

FILES

       /etc/dwww/dwww.conf
	      Configuration file for dwww.

SEE ALSO

       dwww-find(8), dwww(7), sensible-browser(1).
