Sbopkg provides seamless package repository integration for Slackware

10-01-2008 01:00 PM
No Linux distribution can bundle every package that users might want, so most distros host software repositories from which users can download and install additional applications. Since 2006 Slackbuilds.org has served as a high-quality repository for Slackware users, but using it requires several steps and switching between a Web browser and a virtual terminal. Sbopkg is a new ncurses-based utility that helps users build packages from SlackBuilds.org and seamlessly integrates the repository with the operating system.

pkglab

pkglab(1)							   USER COMMANDS							 pkglab(1)

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.
