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 Note that list of outdated packages, if daptup is configured to output  it,  will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       updates, list of changes in 'watched' packages and, optionally, list of outdated packages.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'.
