Description

This application enables users to track the development of a Debian-based distribution through both email notifications and an extensive web interface. The convenience of having all relevant package information centralized in one location is especially valuable for package maintainers, contributors, and advanced users alike, enhancing their ability to stay informed and engaged with the distribution's progress. Additionally, this centralized system streamlines communication and collaboration among the community members.

Description

DPKG serves as a utility for managing Debian packages, allowing users to install, build, and remove them efficiently. Aptitude acts as the primary and more intuitive interface for DPKG. The functionality of DPKG is accessed solely through command line parameters, which include a single action paired with zero or more options that modify the action's behavior. The action parameter indicates the specific task DPKG should perform, while options adjust how this task is executed. Additionally, DPKG can function as a front-end for DPKG-deb(1) and DPKG-query. A detailed list of supported actions is provided in the actions section. When an action is called, DPKG executes either DPKG-deb or DPKG-query with the supplied parameters, but without passing any specific options; to utilize those options, the back-ends must be directly invoked. DPKG also keeps track of relevant information about available packages, categorizing it into three types: states, selection states, and flags, which are primarily managed using dselect. This organization of information aids in the effective management of package statuses within the Debian ecosystem.
