Urpkg is software to install programs in a safeand undoable way. It is able to see what files anygiven installation command creates, and list andremove them. You are able to restrict theinstallation command so that it only writes whereyou allow it to, and does not overwrite files fromother packages. Urpkg is especially useful if youwant to install programs from source, or createbinary packages in an automated way. Under thehood, urpkg creates a user for each package it hasto install, which prevents the installationcommand from run with root privileges. It can beseen as a "command tracer" that remembers whatfiles a command created and prevents it from doingforbidden things. It is written in C but relies onsome external commands, like GNU Find.
