DESCRIPTION
lunar is an easy-to-use menu-driven (dialog-based) interface to the Lunar source-based package manage-
ment system.
OPTIONS
lunar without options will start the menu-driven package management utility.
-d, --debug enables debug messages, very useful when emailing a bug report
-h, --help
outputs short help
-v, --verbose
increases the level of message output
prune - Removes all old source code and old backups. Since the number of sources on the system grows
steadily on a running system, you will need to clean some of the kept copies of sources and com-
pile caches. The source code from previous versions are kept so that the packages can be rolled
back to older versions. This does not delete sources that are up to date, but not installed.
renew - Update all packages without fetching a fresh moonbase first. Does not run prune or autofix.
update - Fetches a new moonbase, updates all packages and runs (optionally) a prune and autofix.
rebuild - automatically rebuilds all installed software packages. This option is non-interactive and does
not start up the menu-driven interface. It is suitable for use in cron jobs and is useful for
rebuilding distributed binaries from source.
optimize - jump straight into the compiler optimizations menu.
fix - Checks and fixs all modules and internal state of lunar. Four methods are available. The methods
can be toggled using lunar->Option->Integrity Checking. A fix is automatically issued afer a
lunar update.
Find Check - Discovers missing binary executables, libraries and header files.
MD5 Sum - Discovers modified executables and libraries.
Ldd Check - Discovers Broken executables and libraries.
Sym Check - Discovers mis-owned symbolic links to files.
nofix - Check but do not fix modules and internal state.
fixdepends - Check and fix the dependency database of lunar. Reconstructs the depends database without
recompiling modules. This might help if your depends database is missing or corrupted.
resurrect - Reinstalls a module which has been removed but still has the compiled version available.
install - Installs a module.
remove - Removes a module.
hold - Places a module on hold so it cannot be built/rebuilt.
unhold - Removes a module from hold status so it can be built/rebuilt.
exile -Prevents a module from being installed or resurrected. Perhaps because you've installed a cus-
tomized module.
unexile - Removes a module from exiled status.
REQUIREMENTS
lunar requires a connection to the Internet
Bash version 2 or higher
Dialog version 0.9a or higher
Linux kernel version 2.4.x or higher.
NOTES
Options on the Package Menu add or remove software packages to/from installation and removal queues.
The actual installation and/or removal of the packages will not be performed until either Foreground
Execution or Background Execution are selected from the main menu.
OPERATION
Navigating the Menus
To return to a previous menu press <Esc> or use the Cancel button
To exit the program from the main menu press <Esc> or use the Cancel button
To toggle between buttons press <Tab>
To select whichever button is highlighted press <Enter>
To select/deselect items from a checklist press <Space>
