Ppack package manager

[stu90]

Latest version is 0.5
Here is a rough and basic Yad package manager for puppy packages - This is just for puppy packages so dont add .deb or other host repos.

There in not package filtering, package informations and no pinstall / pinunistall support yet.

Please note: this hasn't been thoroughly tested so there is a real possibility things could break so use at you own risk



requires - Yad

Update to v5 (see first post for download)
Added support for pre and post .pet removal scripts

Hey stu90,

Hi Geoffrey,
Thank you for the feedback.

A quick guide for setting up - adding / removing and changing repositories.

The ppack repositories list is located in the file /usr/local/ppack/script/repo-list each line is broken up into three fields.
Field 1. Is the locations of the local text file repository in /root/.packages
Field 2. Is the Internt web address of the download server for the repository.
Field 3. Is internet we address to ping to see is server is live.

example entry:

Code: Select all

/root/.packages/Packages-puppy-5-official|http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-5|www.ibiblio.org

To remove a repository just delete the relevant line in the repo-list file - to add a repository add a new line to the repo-list file making sure that all three fields are filled in.

To change repository click on the repositories button in the GUI and select a new repo - you can see what the current repository is in the text at the top of the main GUI.
