cupt

flexible package manager -- console interface

Description

This package provides a console interface to Cupt library, which implements high-level package manager for Debian and derivatives. Cupt is written with flexibility and reliability in mind and uses dpkg as the back-end.

Cupt uses the same APT infrastructure, e.g. index files, deb cache archive files, configuration files. It understands some of widely used APT options.

Some features:
 - strict full-case resolver;
 - resolver reasons tracking;
 - command-line and 'cupt::*' option name checker;
 - case-sensitive search;
 - pinning by source package name;
 - pinning by package groups using shell-like patterns;
 - configurable 'depends' and 'rdepends' subcommands;
 - 'satisfy' subcommand;
 - support of LZMA-compressed indexes;
 - source versions synchronization;
 - 'shell' subcommand (to get command history, search etc. working, install
   the package 'libreadline7');
 - integration with debdelta (to get it, install the package 'debdelta');
 - system snapshots (needs packages 'dpkg-dev' and 'dpkg-repack').

Its interface is mostly like apt-get/aptitude console interface.

Cupt has built-in support for APT repositories using the file:// or copy:// URL schemas. For access to remote repositories using HTTP or FTP, install a download method such as libcupt4-2-downloadmethod-curl.
