💖 BOTCH-OPTUNIV(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a section 1 manual page — that's botch-optuniv, a lil tool from the botch tools fam — and it's literally here to help you build a self-contained repo situation. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

botch-optuniv — self contained repository with minimal number of source packages

like, it makes you a repo that stands on its own, and it does it while keeping the source package count as low as it possibly can. iconic behavior honestly 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

botch-optuniv [options] Packages.. Sources

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what it does is: it removes all the conflicts, and then calculates an optimal self-contained universe with respect to the number of source packages in it, using aspcud. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --version — shows you the program's version and then dips out. short and sweet.
  • -h, --help — shows you this help message and then exits. your lil safety net fr.
  • -v, --verbose — prints additional information, for when you want the tea ☕
  • --quiet — don't print any messages at all. silence. shhh. 🙈
  • --fg=PKGS — additional Packages lists that are checked and used for resolving dependencies (you can repeat this one as many times as you want, go off)
  • --bg — additional Packages lists that are NOT checked but are used for resolving dependencies (also repeatable, also many times, no limit bestie)
  • --all — also adds source packages for Architecture:all packages ✨
  • --deb-drop-b-d-indep — drops Build-Depends-Indep dependencies. bye felicia 👋
  • --deb-drop-b-d-arch — drops Build-Depends-Arch dependencies. also bye 👋
  • --allowsrcmismatch — if a binary package is without a source package, but there is a source package of the same name with a different version, this matches that binary package to that source package. a lil matchmaking moment 💞
  • -o, --outfile=FILE — sets the output file to FILE
  • --deb-native-arch=ARCH — sets the native architecture to ARCH
  • --deb-host-arch=arch — sets the host architecture to arch. defaults to the native architecture, so if you don't say anything it just copies its sibling 🫶
  • --deb-foreign-archs=archs — comma-separated foreign architectures, added on top of the native and host architectures 🌈
