apt-show-source

APT-SHOW-SOURCE(1)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					APT-SHOW-SOURCE(1)

NAME

       apt-show-source - Lists source-packages.

DESCRIPTION

       This program parses the APT lists for source packages and the dpkg status file and then lists every package with a higher version number
       than the one installed.

       It may prove very useful if the "deb" entries in your APT sources.list point to stable and the "deb-src" entries point to unstable. With
       this program you are easily able to find out if there is a newer version of eg. Program XXXX in unstable.

COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS

       Optional command line parameters are the DPKG Status file to use, the path to APT's list files and a package name.  There are also options
       to display: all source-packages, verbose messages, version-only and command-line help.

OPTIONS

       -stf FILE, --status-file=FILE

       Reads installed packages from FILE instead of /var/lib/dpkg/status.

       -ld DIRECTORY, --list-dir=DIRECTORY

       DIRECTORY specifies the path to APT's list files, defaults to /var/lib/apt/lists/.

       -p PACKAGE, --package=PACKAGE

       Prints out the installed-package/source-package version Information for PACKAGE.

       --version-only

       Prints version only if used together with --package.

       -a, --all

       Prints out all available source-packages with version.

       -v, --verbose

       Prints out verbose messages.

       -h, --help

       Prints out command-line help.
