You can configure some default values at compile-time. Some of these
4
may be overridden at run-time. See the list of C constants below for
5
a detailed explanation of the options.
7
The configure options that do not take an argument (like --with-xalloc)
8
can be set by using --without-var (e.g. --without-xalloc).
10
configure option C-constant override at runtime
11
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
12
--with-xalloc USE_XALLOC no
13
--with-nice DEFAULT_NICE yes
14
--with-priority=PRIOR DEFAULT_PRIORITY yes
15
--with-isfa ALL_PACKAGES_IMPLY_SECTION yes
19
--without-debfoster IGNORE_DEBFOSTER yes
21
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
22
The following constants are defined at the bottom of config.h:
23
STATUS_FILE - The location of your status file
24
(default: "/var/lib/dpkg/status")
25
USE_XALLOC - Safe memory allocation. A little bit slower, and a whole
28
DEFAULT_NICE - Count 'recommends' and 'suggests' as 'depends'. This
29
option can be overridden by passing the -n option to deborphan.
31
DEFAULT_PRIORITY - The default priority to use when searching for packages.
32
See the manual page (under --priority) for more information
34
REG_FLAGS - Bitwise or'd list of options to pass to regcomp(3). Unsetting
35
REG_ICASE will violate the dpkg standard, but is not likely
36
to cause problems. Note that REG_EXTENDED is hard-coded.
38
KEEPER_FILE - Location of the file to store information about kept back
39
packages. This can only be changed via src/Makefile.am.
40
(default: /var/lib/deborphan/keep)
41
ALL_PACKAGES_IMPLY_SECTION - Imply --show-section if --all-packages is used.
42
Shows in which sections the packages are. Can be
43
overridden with --no-show-section at runtime.
45
IGNORE_DEBFOSTER - Ignore debfoster's keepers file by default.
47
DEBFOSTER_KEEP - Location of debfoster's keepers file. Undefine to never
48
use debfoster's keepfile.
51
To get deborphan to run faster, run configure with the following options:
52
--without-nice --without-xalloc --with-priority=4 --without-isfa
53
--with-bufsize=2000 --disable-nls
57
Run the following commands:
58
./configure [your options]
64
If compilation fails on NLS (in po/ or intl/), try passing the
65
--disable-nls option to configure. If you don't want to use the
66
Dutch messages, supply --disable-nls for slightly faster operation.
68
REMOVING ALL SUGGESTED PACKAGES
69
-------------------------------
70
deborphan -p4 | xargs apt-get -u remove
71
Never run this command without looking at deborphan's output first!
73
If you decide you want to keep some packages use:
74
deborphan -A libfoo libbar lib...
75
deborphan -p4 | xargs apt-get -u remove
77
Next time you run deborphan, it will not display libfoo and libbar.
78
See the manual page for more information.
82
deborphan does not check for "or" dependencies, i.e. when a package
83
depends on libfoo OR libbar, both libfoo and libbar will be marked as
84
being in use. Unless someone comes up with a bit of code to do this
85
really fast, it will never be implemented.
87
If you discover a new bug, send a message describing your problems,
88
the output of deborphan, and your /var/lib/dpkg/status (if that is not
89
too private information) to "Cris van Pelt"@tribe.eu.org, or to the Debian
90
BTS if you are using the Debian package.
94

95
/usr/share/common-licenses/Artistic on a Debian system. Note that orphaner
96
has a different license, see util/orphaner for details.
