NAME

       wnpp-alert - check for installed packages up for adoption or orphaned

SYNOPSIS

       wnpp-alert [--diff] [package ...]
       wnpp-alert --help|--version

DESCRIPTION

       wnpp-alert  downloads  the  lists of packages which have been orphaned (O), are up for adoption (RFA), or
       the maintainer has asked for help (RFH) from the WNPP webpages, and  then  outputs  a  list  of  packages
       installed on the system, or matching the listed packages, which are in those lists.

       Note that WNPP, and therefore wnpp-alert's output, is source package based.

OPTIONS

       --diff, -d
              If  the  $XDG_CACHE_HOME/devscripts  directory  exists,  compare  the  output of wnpp-alert to the
              previous output (cached in the file wnpp-diff) and output the differences.

       --help, -h
              Show a summary of options.

       --version, -v
              Show version and copyright information.
