Helpful utility to fetch package version data for specified packages in the Ubuntu archive.
Similar to [rmadison](http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man1/rmadison.1.html) utility or the [rmadison webpage](https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/madison.cgi) but allows for querying multiple packages at the same time and also support TXT, JSON and CSV output formats.
This makes it easy to use with other tools - like a monitoring tool which is my use case.
# Usage:
ubuntu-package-status --help Shows all available options and their expected values
ubuntu-package-status --config-skeleton Shows the format of the expected yaml config
``` ubuntu-package-status --config="config.yaml" --logging-level=DEBUG --output-format=CSV > "package-stats.csv" ```
This will write the current state of your packages in the archive to a "package-stats.csv" fi
