6 rmadison -- Remotely query the Debian archive database about packages
7
9 rmadison [OPTIONS] PACKAGE ...
10
12 dak ls queries the Debian archive database ("projectb") and displays
13 which package version is registered per architecture/component/suite.
14 The CGI at https://qa.debian.org/madison.php provides that service
15 without requiring SSH access to ftp-master.debian.org or the mirror on
16 mirror.ftp-master.debian.org. This script, rmadison, is a command line
17 frontend to this CGI.
18
20 -a, --architecture=ARCH
21 only show info for ARCH(s)
22 -b, --binary-type=TYPE
24 only show info for binary TYPE
25 -c, --component=COMPONENT
27 only show info for COMPONENT(s)
28 -g, --greaterorequal
30 show buildd 'dep-wait pkg >= {highest version}' info
31 -G, --greaterthan
33 show buildd 'dep-wait pkg >> {highest version}' info
34 -h, --help
36 show this help and exit
37 -s, --suite=SUITE
39 only show info for this suite
40 -r, --regex
42 treat PACKAGE as a regex
43 Note: Since -r can easily DoS the database ("-r ."), this option is
45 not supported by the CGI on qa.debian.org and most other
46 installations.
47 -S, --source-and-binary
49 show info for the binary children of source pkgs
50 -t, --time
52 show projectb snapshot and reload time (not supported by all
53 archives)
54 -u, --url=URL[,URL ...]
56 use URL for the query. Supported shorthands are
57 debian https://api.ftp-master.debian.org/madison
58 new https://api.ftp-master.debian.org/madison?s=new
59 qa https://qa.debian.org/madison.php
60 ubuntu https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/madison.cgi
61 udd https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/madison.cgi
62 See the RMADISON_URL_MAP_ variable below for a method to add new
64 shorthands.
65 --version
67 show version and exit
68 --no-conf, --noconf
70 don't read the devscripts configuration files
71 ARCH, COMPONENT and SUITE can be comma (or space) separated lists, e.g.
73 --architecture=m68k,i386
74
76 The two configuration files /etc/devscripts.conf and ~/.devscripts are
77 sourced by a shell in that order to set configuration variables.
78 Command line options can be used to override configuration file
79 settings. Environment variable settings are ignored for this purpose.
80 The currently recognised variables are:
81 RMADISON_URL_MAP_SHORTHAND=URL
83 Add an entry to the set of shorthand URLs listed above. SHORTHAND
84 should be replaced with the shorthand form to be used to refer to
85 URL.
86 Multiple shorthand entries may be specified by using multiple
88 RMADISON_URL_MAP_* variables.
89 RMADISON_DEFAULT_URL=URL
91 Set the default URL to use unless overridden by a command line
92 option. For Debian this defaults to debian. For Ubuntu this
93 defaults to ubuntu.
94 RMADISON_ARCHITECTURE=ARCH
96 Set the default architecture to use unless overridden by a command
97 line option. To run an unrestricted query when
98 RMADISON_ARCHITECTURE is set, use --architecture='*'.
99 RMADISON_SSL_CA_FILE=FILE
101 Use the specified CA file instead of the default CA bundle for
102 curl/wget, passed as --cacert to curl, and as --ca-certificate to
103 wget.
104 RMADISON_SSL_CA_PATH=PATH
106 Use the specified CA directory instead of the default CA bundle for
107 curl/wget, passed as --capath to curl, and as --ca-directory to
108 wget.

111 dak ls was formerly called madison.
112 The protocol used by rmadison is fairly simple, the CGI accepts query
114 the parameters a, b, c, g, G, r, s, S, t, and package. The parameter
115 text is passed to enable plain-text output.
