Good, besides simple text file format is easy to parse and check by command line tools, if needed. To my surprise, I have more manually installed packages than automatically installed ones, so listing manually installed instead of automatically installed in the file would not give benefit.
'apt-mark showauto' and 'apt-mark showmanual' are simple filters that do not need any information about dependencies. /var/lib/dpkg/status lists dependencies shown by 'apt-cache show' ** Summary changed: - 'apt-mark showauto' and 'apt show' is slow + 'apt-mark showauto' and 'apt-cache show' is slow -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713219 Title: 'apt-mark showauto' and 'apt-cache show' is slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1713219/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
