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. AUTHORS
Pkglab was written by Berke Durak and Jaap Boender for the EDOS and Mancoosi projects. Version 1.4 April 20, 2009 pkglab(1)
