NAME
chdist - script to easily play with several distributions
SYNOPSIS
chdist [options] [command] [command parameters]
DESCRIPTION
chdist is a rewrite of what used to be known as 'MultiDistroTools' (or mdt). Its use is to
create 'APT trees' for several distributions, making it easy to query the status of
packages in other distribution without using chroots, for instance.
OPTIONS

Choose data directory (default: $HOME/.chdist/).
