NAME

6       chdist - script to easily play with several distributions
7

SYNOPSIS

9       chdist [options] [command] [command parameters]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       chdist is a rewrite of what used to be known as 'MultiDistroTools' (or
13       mdt). Its use is to create 'APT trees' for several distributions,
14       making it easy to query the status of packages in other distribution
15       without using chroots, for instance.
16
