Packman package manager 0.5 beta released
Alan
The main changes are:
- Paths window showing where packages will be installed
- Help entry added to iconbar and main window menus to launch
the help from within the application.
- Workaround to fix bug in RISC OS 4.39 Toolaction module
to prevent a crash on this version of the OS.
- Reduced version requirements for toolbox modules so it
can be used from RISC OS 5/4 without having to download
updated modules from the RISC OS Ltd site.
If you already have a previous version of !PackMan or !RiscPkg
installed you can install it or updrade it from either of
these programs.
Otherwise go to http://alanb.drobe.co.uk/packman.htm for
download and installation instructions.
PackMan is a package manager front end for packages distributed
using the RISC OS Packaging Project (see http://www.riscpkg.org).
It can be used instead of or alongside !RiscPkg.
Its features include:
- Status bar showing more information on the selected package.
- Filters to allow display of packages for a specific category,
what's installed or upgrades to already installed packages.
- Search for a package.
- Single buttons to start an install, upgrade or removal of a package.
System requirements
RISC OS 4.0 or greater with long filenames
Internet connection for downloading packages
