New CNR.com is a work in progress

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 19:00:00 GMT
Last year, Linspire announced that it was opening its software distribution service, CNR (short for Click 'n' Run), to users of the Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, and Ubuntu distributions. A month ago, it announced a beta version of CNR that includes support for Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 (the two most recent versions), with versions for the other systems on the way. Alas, after trying it on my Ubuntu system, I think it needs work.

NAME
whohas - find packages in various distributions' repositories SYNTAX
whohas [--no-threads] [--shallow] [--strict] [-d Dist1[,Dist2[,Dist3 etc.]]] pkgname DESCRIPTION
whohas is a command line tool to query package lists from the Arch, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mandriva, openSUSE, Slackware (and linuxpack- ages.net), Source Mage, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Fink, MacPorts and Cygwin distributions. OPTIONS
--no-threads Don't use multiple threads to query package lists (will be much slower) --shallow Limit to one call per server. Faster, but loses some information, typically package size and release date. --strict List only those packages that have exactly pkgname as their name. -d Dist1[,Dist2[,Dist3 etc.]] Queries only for packages for the listed distributions. Recognised values for Dist1, Dist2, etc. are "archlinux", "cygwin", "debian", "fedora", "fink", "freebsd", "gentoo", "mandriva", "macports", "netbsd", "openbsd", "opensuse", "slackware", "sourcemage", and "ubuntu". pkgname Package name to query for FILES
whohas uses various files in ~/.whohas to cache package lists for some distributions. SEE ALSO
See intro.txt or intro.html notes on using whohas. AUTHORS
