APT is a frontend for package management systems, such as dpkg or rpm allowing easy package management with automatic dependency resolution.=20 Features include: - package download through ftp or http; - package installation (dependencies will be automatically resolved and downloaded); - package removal; - system upgrade, by checking what packages are outdated, verifying any eventual new dependencies and installing everything; - mirror site authentication; - et coetera. So far, apt has only been tested in Conectiva's distribution, but should work with few or no changes in any distribution that uses the same directory structure=20 for packages as RedHat. Use in other distributions that use rpm may require some minor hacking. The latest release is available at: ftp://ftp.conectiva.com/pub/conectiva/.0/EXPERIMENTAL/apt/ This release contains changes to apt's source code that may make it unusable in Debian boxes, but that will change soon, when I merge the rpm support to the aliencode branch of apt in cvs. That should make the next major "official" release of=20 apt able to work in both deb and rpm based systems. -- Alfredo _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list ----- End forwarded message ----- Regards, Dmitry +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Dmitry V.
