NAME¶
daptup - plugin for apt[itude] and cupt to list repository changes
SYNOPSIS¶
daptup (
--pre |
--post |
--last ) [
-h |
--help ] [
--nocolor ]
OPTIONS¶
- --pre
- Do only 'pre' stage: collect info that will be used as 'old'. Usually need
to be specified only in apt hooks.
- --post
- Do only 'post' stage: collect 'new' info and (if appropriate option is
enabled in config file) output changes. Usually need to be specified only
in apt hooks.
- --last
- Output changes only. This option is supposed to be specified when you want
to see changes made in the last update. Note that list of outdated
packages, if daptup is configured to output it, will be rebuilt.
- -h --help
- prints the help
- --nocolor
- Disables color output, useful for scripts or when output is not terminal.
Now works only with --last option, however, you can disable color
globally in configuration file.
daptup is a script that outputs list of packages recently entered to
repo, list of packages which got new updates, list of changes in 'watched'
packages and, optionally, list of outdated packages.
Starting with 0.8.0 version,
daptup uses apt hooks and you don't need to
explicitly call it. It will be called automatically by all the supported
package managers.
TROUBLESHOOTING¶
If
daptup was interrupted while building the lists, the cached lists can
stay in inconsistent state, which is inappropriate if you want to use
--last option before the new update. There is nothing to do if
interrupt occurred at the moment when old lists were building (besides running
the new update). However, if interrupt occurred when the new lists were
building, you can easily redo this stage by calling 'daptup --post'.
FILES¶
- /etc/daptup.conf
- self-documented configuration file
- /var/spool/daptup/outdated
- cached file with info about outdated packages
