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 ~/.devscripts_cache 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.
