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


-h, --help
Provide a usage message.

-d, --data-dir DIR
Choose data directory (default: $HOME/.chdist/).
