# lisa(1)

Processes BYHAND and NEW packages

## NAME

lisa - Processes BYHAND and NEW packages

## SYNOPSIS

**lisa** \[ *options* \] *changes\_file* \[ *...* \]

## DESCRIPTION

**lisa** is the program which installs packages from the accepted directory into the distribution.

## OPTIONS

- **-a/--automatic**

  Run automatically; i.e. perform the default action if it's possible to do so without user interaction.  Intend for use in cron jobs and the like.

- **-h/--help**

  Display usage help and then exit.

- **-m/--manual-reject=***message*

  Perform a manual rejection of the package.  The *message* is included in the rejection notice sent to the uploader.  If no *message* is given, an editor will be spawned so one can be added to the rejection notice.

- **-n/--no-action**

  Don't actually install anything; just show what would be done.

- **-p/--no-lock**

  Don't check the lockfile.  Obviously dangerous and should only be used for cron jobs (if at all).

- **-v/--version**

  Display the version number and then exit.

## DIAGNOSTICS

**lisa** returns zero on normal operation, non-zero on error.
