CHECK-SUPPORT-STATUS(1)
=======================
NAME
----
check-support-status - check installed packages for security support (debian-security-support)
VERSION
-------
Version [% VERSION %]
SYNOPSIS
--------
Search for packages whose support is limited, has already ended or
will end earlier than the distribution's end of life:
----
check-support-status
----
Search for packages with ended support from a custom list, reporting
each package only once:
----
check-support-status \
--type ended \
--status-db /path/to/status-db \
--list /path/to/security-support-ended
----
OPTIONS
-------
*--list* 'FILE'::
Use the given file as the database of packages whose support ends at a
particular date or that is limited by specific conditions. The file
format is plain text in columns, separated by one or more whitespace
characters.
+
For `--type earlyend`:
+
--
* source package name
* last package version that will be supported
* the date support will end
* the rest (optional): details, and/or a URL for further information.
--
+
For `--type ended`:
+
--
* source package name
* last package version that is supported
* the date support was ended
* the rest (optional): details, and/or a URL for further information.
--
+
For `--type limited`:
+
--
* source package name
* the rest (optional): details, and/or a URL for further information.
--
+
If no "--list" is provided, the script is run for limited and
date-defined end of support, using the lists shipped in the package.
+
By default, check-support-status evaluates the status of the packages
according to the Debian version where it runs upon. This behavior can
be modified using the DEBIAN_VERSION environment variable, e.g.
DEBIAN_VERSION=9 check-support-status
*--no-heading*::
Skips printing a headline.
*--status-db* 'FILE'::
Use the given file to record alerts so each affected package is
reported only once.
+
Default: No records, any affected package will be reported every time.
*--except* 'PACKAGES'::
Do not alert for the given binary packages (comma-separated list).
+
Default: Alert for all packages (no exceptions).
*--type* 'TYPE'::
One of the following:
* "earlyend": Alert for packages whose support will end earlier
than the distribution's.
* "ended": Alert for packages where security support has ended.
* "limited": Alert for packages where security support is limited.
*--version, --Version, -V*::
Show the version number and exit.
BUGS
----
Installations with mixed distributions like half-stable, half-testing
are not supported.
