pkg_select will display a curses file browser for the pkg system. You can
|
|
browse pkgsrc and gather various informations about packages, like avail-
|
|
able version, installed version, comment and homepage. A simple paging
|
|
system lets you read information files. You can browse both installed
|
|
and uninstalled packages, as well as dependencies list and perform vari-
|
|
ous administrative tasks to them. A package finder system helps you to
|
|
easily locate a package by its name. pkg_select can handle either source
|
|
or binary installations when pkgsrc is installed on the local system, or
|
|
binary only when using the pkgsrc-over-ftp feature.
|
|
|
|
If no pkgsrc is installed, pkg_select offers ability fo fetch it, either
|
|
by FTP or CVS. It is also possible to update an existing pkgsrc via the
|
|
interface.
|
|
|
|
pkg_select user interface is quite self explainatory, every available
|
|
shortcut is shown and annotated.
