https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1678632 Bug ID: 1678632 Summary: Review Request: apt - Main commandline package manager for Debian and its derivatives Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: dridi.boukelmoune@xxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Spec URL: https://dridi.fedorapeople.org/review/apt.spec SRPM URL: https://dridi.fedorapeople.org/review/apt-1.7.2-1.fc29.src.rpm Description: apt is the main commandline package manager for Debian and its derivatives. It provides commandline tools for searching and managing as well as querying information about packages as well as low-level access to all features provided by the libapt-pkg and libapt-inst libraries which higher-level package managers can depend upon. Included tools are: - apt-get for retrieval of packages and information about them from authenticated sources and for installation, upgrade and removal of packages together with their dependencies - apt-cache for querying available information about installed as well as installable packages - 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-extracttemplates to be used by debconf to prompt for configuration questions before installation. - apt-ftparchive creates Packages and other index files needed to publish an archive of debian packages - apt-sortpkgs is a Packages/Sources file normalizer. The libraries libapt-pkg and libapt-inst are also maintained as part of this project, alongside various additional binaries like the acquire-methods used by them. Bindings for Python (python-apt) and Perl (libapt-pkg-perl) are available as separated projects. Fedora Account System Username: dridi I have been using it locally for a month or so to build debs locally, it's needed by sbuild and pdebuild if you try to create respectively an schroot or a base archive. Without apt, you can still use sbuild and pdebuild once you have a build environment because it uses the apt installation inside that environment. pdebuild is already available in Fedora, I submitted a review request for sbuild in bug 1678626. There is already a source package called apt in Fedora, but its upstream is apt-rpm. A rename is in order before proceeding with this review. Scratch build for rawhide: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=32902240 I'm using it on f29. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
