NAME

       pkglab - explore package repositories

SYNOPSIS

       pkglab [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       Pkglab is an interactive, console-based environment to explore package repositories of package-based software distributions.

       A pkglab session typically starts by loading a package repository in one of the different formats understood pkglab. Then, pkglab can check
       given package combinations for co-installability according to inter-package relationships.

OPTIONS

       -architecture architecture
	      Default architecture to use when accessing packages from a package repository. By default the current host architecture is used.

       -history filename
	      Use the file filename to load and save command-line history. Defaults to $HOME/.pkglab-history.

       -script filename
	      Execute commands from the file filename.

       -merge waterway
	      Start by merging the archive found in waterway.

       -help, --help
	      Display basic help information.

SEE ALSO

       Pkglab can read package repositories in the dose format produced by ceve(1).

       The non-interactive tools edos-debcheck(1) and rpm-debcheck(1) use the same algorithm as pkglab for checking installability of packages.
