NAME

       apt-cudf.conf - Configuration file for apt-cudf

DESCRIPTION

       The configuration file allows one to define default optimization criterias for all solvers known by apt-cudf

SYNTAX

	 solver: <solver list> | '*'

       A comma-separated list of solvers. The character will make the optimization criteria as default for all solvers without a more specific
       definition.

	 upgrade: <optimization criteria>
	 dist-upgrade: <optimization criteria>
	 install: <optimization criteria>
	 remove: <optimization criteria>

       Default optimization criteria associated to apt-get actions. The optimization criteria is solver specific. Specifying a incorrect criteria
       will result in an error from the underlying cudf solver. Please refere to the solver man page for the correct syntax

	 trendy: <optimization criteria>
	 paranoid: <optimization criteria>
	 <keyword>: <optimization criteria>

       Define a shortcut for an optimization criteria. The shortcut can then be used by apt-get to pass a specific optimization criteria for a
       cudf solver

	 apt-get install gnome --solver aspcud -o "APT::Solver::aspcud::Preferences=trendy"

EXAMPLE

	 solver: mccs-cbc , mccs-lpsolve
	 upgrade: -lex[-new,-removed,-notuptodate]
	 dist-upgrade: -lex[-notuptodate,-new]
	 install: -lex[-removed,-changed]
	 remove: -lex[-removed,-changed]
	 trendy: -lex[-removed,-notuptodate,-unsat_recommends,-new]
	 paranoid: -lex[-removed,-changed]

	 solver: *
	 upgrade: -new,-removed,-notuptodate
	 dist-upgrade: -notuptodate,-new
	 install: -removed,-changed
	 remove: -removed,-changed
	 trendy: -removed,-notuptodate,-unsat_recommends,-new
	 paranoid: -removed,-changed
