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.

Pkglab was written by Berke Durak and Jaap Boender for the EDOS and Mancoosi projects.
