wnpp-alert(1)

NAME

   wnpp-alert - check for installed packages up for adoption or orphaned

SYNOPSIS

   wnpp-alert [--diff] [package ...]
   wnpp-alert --help|--version

DESCRIPTION

   wnpp-alert  downloads  the  lists  of packages which have been orphaned
   (O), are up for adoption (RFA), or the maintainer has  asked  for  help
   (RFH)  from  the  WNPP  webpages,  and  then outputs a list of packages
   installed on the system, or matching the listed packages, which are  in
   those lists.

   Note  that  WNPP,  and therefore wnpp-alert's output, is source package
   based.

OPTIONS

   --diff, -d
          If the $XDG_CACHE_HOME/devscripts directory exists, compare  the
          output  of wnpp-alert to the previous output (cached in the file
          wnpp-diff) and output the differences.

   --help, -h
          Show a summary of options.

   --version, -v
          Show version and copyright information.
