DESCRIPTION

madison is a utility to display information about packages, specificaly what suites they are in and for which architectures.

OPTIONS

-a/--architecture=architecture

Only list package information for the listed architecture(s).

Only show package information for the binary type ('deb' or 'udeb').

-c/--component=component

Only list package information for the listed component(s).

-g/--greaterorequal

-G/--greaterthan

Determine the highest version of each package in the target suite (which is forced to just unstable if one was not specificed) and, in addition to the normal output, also print a line suitable for sending in a reply to a buildd as a 'dep-wait' command. For -g/--greaterorequal, the versioned dependency is a >= one, e.g.

 dep-retry libgdbm-dev (>= 1.8.3-2)
 

And for -G/--greaterthan, the versioned dependency is a >> one, e.g.

 dep-retry libflac-dev (>> 1.1.0-10)
 

-r/--regex

Treat the package argument as a regex, rather than doing an exact search.

-s/--suite=suite

Only list package information for the suite(s) listed.

-S/--source-and-binary

For each package which is a source package, also show information about the binary packages it produces.

-h/--help
