DESCRIPTION
aptitude-create-state-bundle
- • $HOME/.aptitude
- • /var/lib/aptitude
- • /var/lib/apt

- • /var/lib/dpkg/status
The output of this program can be used as an argument to aptitude-run-state-bundle(1).
OPTIONS
--force-bzip2
- Override the autodetection of which compression algorithm to use. By default, aptitude-create-state-bundle uses bzip2(1) if it is available, and gzip(1) otherwise. Passing this option forces the use of bzip2 even if it doesn't appear to be available.
--force-gzip
- Override the autodetection of which compression algorithm to use. By default, aptitude-create-state-bundle uses bzip2(1) if it is available, and gzip(1) otherwise. Passing this option forces the use of gzip even if bzip2 is available.
--help
- Print a brief usage message, then exit.
--print-inputs
- Instead of creating a bundle, display a list of the files and directories that the program would include if it generated a bundle.
FILE FORMAT
The bundle file is simply a tar(1) file compressed with bzip2(1) or gzip(1), with each of the input directory trees rooted at ".".
