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.
