SYNOPSIS¶
germinate-pkg-diff |
[-l
file-m
{i |r |d }-a
archseeds ] |
DESCRIPTION¶
germinate-pkg-diff
compares the expansion of
a list of seed packages against the set of packages installed on the current
system. When constructing seeds for a software distribution, it can be used to
iteratively find packages installed on developers' systems that should be
included in the seeds.
A list of seeds against which to compare may be supplied as non-option
arguments. Seeds from which they inherit will be added automatically. The
default is ‘desktop’.

the list of installed packages, in a somewhat
