-Description: Advanced front-end for dpkg
|
|
|
- This is Debian's next generation front-end for the dpkg package manager.
|
|
|
- It provides the apt-get utility and APT dselect method that provides a
|
|
|
- simpler, safer way to install and upgrade packages.
|
|
|
+Description: Debian's advanced package tool
|
|
|
+ APT provides mechanisms for package management tasks like searching,
|
|
|
+ querying and managing deb packages from one or more package
|
|
|
+ repoistories.
|
|
|
.
|
|
|
- APT features complete installation ordering, multiple source capability
|
|
|
- and several other unique features, see the Users Guide in apt-doc.
|
|
|
+ It supports:
|
|
|
+ * searching for package information;
|
|
|
+ * resolving package install requests, finding the appropriate
|
|
|
+ version in the archives;
|
|
|
+ * fetching packages along with all their required dependencies;
|
|
|
+ * authenticating the sources and validating the retrieved data;
|
|
|
+ * installing and removing packages on a working system.
|
|
|
+ .
|
|
|
+ It also provides various terminal-based tools on its own:
|
|
|
+ * apt-get for managing packages and retrieval of information
|
|
|
+ * apt-cache for querying available information
|
|
|
+ * apt-cdrom to use removable media as a source for packages
|
|
|
+ * apt-config as an interface to the configuration settings
|
|
|
+ * apt-key as an interface to manage authentication keys
|
|
|
+ .
|
|
|
+ APT is also highly configurable and can be extended to support
|
|
|
+ additional protocols.
