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

              alert  to  the  previous  output  (cached  in  the  file  wnpp-diff) and output the
              differences.

              Show a summary of options.
