The second public beta of PackMan is now available.
The main changes are:
- Updated toolbar that uses icons for install/remove/search
- Apps and info windows now available from toolbar icons
- Arrow added to status bar so it can be shrunk
- Fixed minor display problems
If you already have a previous version or !RiscPkg
installed you can install it from the main riscpkg site.
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
