DESCRIPTION
lvu is part of the lunar source-based package management suite. It is a gen-
eral purpose command-line tool for displaying package logs, version informa-
tion, checking for installed packages, checksums, message digests, main-
tainer information, package URL information, displaying new packages,
untracked files, sections, searching for files that are installed, finding
when modules were created and packages in the software catalogue. It can
even take and retrieve snapshots of currently installed packages for easy
duplication.
OPTIONS
alien - find and display all files which are not currently tracked by the lunar package management system
leafs - displays installed modules that have no explicit dependencies on them
orphans - displays installed modules that are missing required dependencies
pam - display modules installed that are pam aware
cd <module> - changes current directory to the given module and execs a new shell
what <module> - view the long package description
where <module> - display the section a module belongs to
website <module> - display the URL for the specified module
sources <module> - list all source files contained in a module
urls <module> - list all URLs for a module
maintainer <module> - display the email address of the person currently responsible for maintaining a specified module
version <module> - display version of module in moonbase
compile <module> - show the compiler output generated when the module was built
compiler <module> - display the version of compiler used for creating the ELF files in modules
links <module> - display the modules that this module's ELF binary files actually links to
install <module> - used to determine what files were installed by a module and where those files are located
conflicts - display modules with conflicting files
held - display held modules
exiled - display exiled modules
expired - display a list of modules which will be updated by a `lunar renew`
sum <module> - print CRC checksums for modules(s). If no module is given it defaults to all.
md5sum <module> - print module MD5 message digests (fingerprints). If no module is given it default to all
export - take a snapshot of all modules and configuration currently installed
import snapshot - restore the snapshot from a previous lvu export command (see the export option)
moonbase - prints the entire moonbase
html - prints the entire moonbase in a nice html format
updatelog - view summary log of previous lunar update
activity - view the main lunar activity log
search "phrase" - Searches modules long descriptions for phrase
service port|acronym - displays modules that provide the given service port|acronym
newer date - print packages that are newer than a specified date. the date must be
specified in the 'yyyymmdd' format, where y=year, m=month, and d=day
older date - print packages that are older than a specified date. the date must be
specified in the 'yyyymmdd' format, where y=year, m=month, and d=day
from <path/><file> - find out what module has <path>/file installed
installed <module> view all installed packages and corresponding version numbers or
check to see whether a particular package is installed and if it is
installed display its version number
section <module> - view a list of all sections in the software catalogue or display a list of packages from a specific section
size <module> - display the size of a given module or all your installed modules in KB
voyeur <module> - start looking at what lin is compiling at the moment and outputs it. A module can be optionally specified.
depends <module> - displays the modules that explicitly or recursively depend on this module.
tree <module> - displays a tree of the module's dependencies.
stree <module> - displays a shorter form of the tree of the module's dependencies.
eert <module> - displays a tree of the module's reverse dependencies.
new <module> - Attempt to create a module DETAILS file from scratch using cut-n-paste data from the user. Very dirty method to get a module started by just having 4 pieces of information handy: download url, descriptions and name
edit <module> - Copy an existing module to zlocal so it can be edited. Turn on ZLOCAL_OVERRIDES to make sure your edited module gets used instead of the default module.
unedit <module> - Discards your 'edit'ed zlocal module. Works the same as removing it.
submit <module> - Submit a module to the lunar module submission list/mail alias. Please only submit tested changes.
$MODULE_SCRIPT <module> - replace $MODULE_SCRIPT with any of the following DETAILS | CONFIGURE | CONFLICTS | PRE_BUILD | BUILD | POST_BUILD | POST_INSTALL | POST_REMOVE to show module scripts for the module
