Package: daptup
Version: 0.12.6
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I was looking at the manpage and found it wanting. While there is some
explanation in /etc/daptup.conf the manpage even doesn't tell its
existence.
Also it would have been better to share some of the rationale for e.g. for :-
# Daptup has the ability to find installed packages that have version prepared
# by package maintainer a lot of time ago and have more recent install
# candidate ("outdated" packages). Enable this check?
# Possible values: "n" - no, "y" - yes.
DAPTUP_CHECK_FOR_OUTDATED_PACKAGES=y
# If we check for "outdated" packages, what minimal age (in days) must
package to have
# to be treated as "outdated"?
DAPTUP_MINIMAL_DAY_COUNT_TREATING_OUTDATED=90
Guessing this is for sid/experimental but would not be so great in
testing/stable.
Also daptup doesn't seem to check for orphaned packages because in the
whole /etc/daptup.conf there has been no mention of 'orphaned
packages' or for 'removed/autoremoved packages' as well.
Lastly the README.Debian is outdated as far as on Debian testing is
concerned, as it happens when an aptitude index update is run.
Looking for more info.
