DracoPKG: an attempt at merging pkgtools and pkgsrc
According to the
homepage, DracoPKg is
``a humble attempt at merging pkgtools and pkgsrc through a simple wrapper. Hiding the complexity through simple commands.'' In this,
pkgsrc is NetBSD's packages collection/toolset, and pkgtools is
the same from Slackware.
The system comes with a wrapper for running the various commands:
- dp install foobar to install a package and its
dependencies
- dp options foobar to learn about the options that can
be passed to the USE environment variable
- dp upgrade foobar to upgrade na installed package by
recompiling
- dp replace foobar to replace a single package, without
touching dependencies.
- dp remove foobar deinstall a package and all its
dependencies
- dp info foobar to print information
- ...
There are many more commands documented on the
dracopkg homepage,
go and have a look. Maybe this is the thing that gives pkgsrc
the "product readiness" it's been lacking so far?
