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.
