Description:
dftp: Linux "Debian Distribution" Packages Maintainer
- The purpose of this program is to make it easy to keep your local
- installation of Linux consistent with the Debian distribution
- available on many FTP sites, NFS mounts, or CD-ROM. It does this by
- comparing the list of installed packages with those available by FTP
- or at a specified directory. A list of packages, categorized to make
- selection easier, is then presented to the user to choose what to
- install. All selected packages are then fetched if necessary (using
- FTP), verified for correctness, and then installed.
- .
- Dftp can also be run on a non-Debian machine in the case where the
- Debian machine does not have FTP access. For this, stand-alone
- versions of dftp, in both "csh" and "perl" source, are available under
- /debian/contrib/tools.
Changes:
- Now written in Perl (thanks to Robert Browning)
