NAME
PackUP -- PACKage Upgradability Problem solver
SYNOPSIS
packup [OPTIONS] input_file_name [output_file_name]
DESCRIPTION
packup is a solver for the package upgradability problem specified in CUDF [TZ09]. It repeatedly invokes
an optimization pseudo-Boolean solver in order to solve the problem. By default minisat+ [ES06] is used
for that purpose but a different solver can be used by specifying the pertaining command line option.
If input_file_name is '-', input is read from the standard input. If the output_file_name is omitted,
output is produced to the standard output.
OPTIONS
-t Use trendy criterion
-p Use paranoid criterion
-u cs Use user criterion cs. A criterion is a lexicographic combination of the utility functions
removed, notuptodate, unmet_recommends, new, and changed. Each of them with a polarity ("+" for a
function to maximize, "-" for a function to minimize). The functions are listed in decreasing
order of priority, and separated by the symbol ",". For instance, the paranoid criterion could be
written as -removed,-changed. For more details see: http://www.mancoosi.org/misc-
live/20101126/criteria/
--external-solver
command for the external solver default 'minisat+ -ansi'
--multiplication-string
string between coefficients and variables when communicating to the solver, default '*'
--temporary-directory DIR
directory where temporary files are created. If this option is not given then the value of $TMPDIR
is used if defined, otherwise temporary files are placed in '/tmp'.
--leave-temporary-files
do not delete temporary files
