NAME

rc-alert - check for installed packages with release-critical bugs

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

rc-alert downloads the list of release-critical bugs from the Debian BTS webpages, and then outputs a list of packages installed on the system which are in that list.
If the directory ~/.devscripts_cache exists or the --cache option is given, then the (sizable) downloaded list will be cached, and will only be downloaded again on a second invocation if it has changed.

OPTIONS

R --cache
Force the creation of the ~/.devscripts_cache cache directory.
R --help , -h
Show a summary of options.
R --version , -v
Show version and copyright information.
