Misc options

-h, --help

This option displays the help message.

-v, --verbose

Be verbose. This option can be repeated for more verbosity.

--version

Show program's version and exit.

--progress

Print progress bars.

Input options

Dose3 accepts files compressed with gzip(1) or bzip2(1), depending on compile-time options.

-t input-spec

Select the input type. Possible values are:

.

cudf Cudf file format

.

pef PEF file format. The PEF format (Package Exchange Format) is a generic 822 file format used to encode package dependencies. deb, opam, debsrc and edsp are all based on the pef format

.

csw OpenCSW Solaris packages binary format

.

opam Opam Package universe in Opam/PEF format. This format is a 822 textual format encoding the opam universe.

.

deb for Debian binary package files, also known as Packages files.

.

debsrc for Debian source package files, also knows as Sources files.

.

edsp apt-get External Dependency Solver Protocol

.

hdlist RPM hdlists. Binary file format.

.

synthesis urpmi synthesis hdlists. XML Based format

--trim

Consider only installable packages.

--latest n

Consider only the latest -n most recent versions of each package, older versions of packages are ignored.

-c, --cone=vpkglist

The match of an atomic dependency (a package name p possibly together with a version constraint c) is the set of all packages in the repository with name p, and a version that satisfies the constraint c. The dependency cone of a package p is the set of all matches of all atomic dependencies of p, together with their respective dependency cones. The package specification pkgspec is a list of packages (separated by a semicolon), where each package is specified as follows: (name,version).

This option extracts the union of the dependency cones of all packages selected by vpkglist.

Example: =over 12

-c 'golang-golang-x-tools (= 1:0.0~git20150716.0.87156cb+dfsg1-4),golang-golang-x-tools-dev'

-r, --rcone=vpkglist

Using the same syntax as in -c, this option use the reverse dependency relation to make the transitive closure.

--depth n

In combination with the -c or -r options, this specifies the maximum depth for the transitive closure.

--request installation-request

Specifies an installation request of the form "install: vpkglist" or "remove: vpkglist" or "upgrade: vpkglist" where vpkglist is a list of (real) packages possibly associated with a constraint. Ex.: bash (< 2.0), exim (= 3.1-debian1). This option can be repeated to specify install, remove and upgrade actions.

Examples:

--request "install: bash (< 2.0), exim (= 3.1-debian1)" --request "upgrade: apt-cudf"

Output options

-o, --outfile=filename

Instead of stdout, send output to the file filename.

-d, --outdir=directory

Set the output directory (default current directory)

--dot

Save the explanation graph (one for each package) in dot format.

-G graph type

Specifies the graph type format to compute. This option must be used together with the option -T dot|gml|grml. Default is syn. Possible values are:

.

syn for the syntactic graph where disjunctions nodes and conflicts are explicitly added to the graph.

.

pkg for the package graph where all dependencies are threated uniformly and conflicts are not added to the graph.

.

strdeps the strong dependency graph. A package p strong depends on q iff p cannot be installed if q is not installed.

.

strcnf

.

conj the conjunctive graph where only conjunctive dependencies are considered.

.

dom

-T format

Specifies the output format to use. Default is cnf. Possible values are:

.

cnf output in CNF format.

.

dimacs output in DIMACS format for CNF formulae.

.

cudf pretty-printed output in an RFC 822-like format

.

deb binary packages in deb822 format.

.

debsrc source packages in deb822 format.

.

dot a graph in Dot/GraphViz format.

.

gml a graph in GML format.

.

grml a graph in GraphML format.

.

table plain text output of three integer values: the universe size, the number of edges in the dependency graph, the number of conflicts in the universe.

Debian specific options

Multi-arch annotations are handled by ceve. Packages whose's architecture is neither the native architecture nor in the list of foreign architectures (see below) are ignored.

--deb-native-arch=name

Specify the native architecture. The default behavior is to deduce the native architecture from the first package stanza in the input that has an architecture different from all.

--deb-foreign-archs=name [,name] ...

Specify a comma-separated list of foreign architectures. The default is an empty list of foreign architectures.

--deb-ignore-essential

By default all essential package are considered as a dependency of all packages in the universe. This option allows the user to ignore essential packages.

--deb-host-arch=name

Native/cross compile host architecture, defaults to native architecture.

--deb-builds-from

Add builds-from relationship of binary packages on source packages as dependency. This allows one to create graphs for bootstrapping purposes.

-P, --deb-profiles=name[,name...]

Comma separated list of activated build profiles.

--deb-drop-b-d-indep

Drop Build-Depends-Indep dependencies from Debian source packages.

--deb-drop-b-d-arch

Drop Build-Depends-Arch dependencies from Debian source packages.
