Dragora's package system in version 2.2 is called
pkgsystem. It works well but does not support functions similar to `aptitude search' and downloading packages like `apt-get install'.
A lot of software is in the ISO images but there is a community repository
here. When you find a package you want for you architecture, perhaps
http://gungre.ch/dragora/repo/mprodr...1.0-i486-2.tlz, you download it. If you want you can also get the `.sha1sum' and/or `.sig' files to check the integrity of the package. When it is downloaded you can install it or upgrade it by running
Code:
pkg add mpv-0.11.0-i486-2.tlz
or
Code:
pkg upgrade mpv-0.11.0-i486-2.tlz
with root privileges.
pkgsystem has more commands and options that you can find
here.
I'm working on a program that has some additional features:
- Repositories
- Ability to fetch packages from remote repositories
- Search for available packages
- Look for updates
- Optional graphical interface (video)
- And more
The program is called
Jul and you can download it
here. It is a work in progress but it is usable now (except the graphical interface).
If you want more help or have any other questions you can ask here, send an e-mail to the mailing list, or join our IRC channel. Good luck!
