  Description     : text-based light-weight frontend for update-alternatives


Rover is a text-based light-weight frontend for update-alternatives, built on
top of termbox.  It was inspired by the ranger file browser. There are several
similar works that provides graphical frontend to update-alternatives:
galternatives and kalternatives. However, Rover still have some advantages
compared to these implementations:
.
1. User doesn't need to move hand off the keyboard.
2. Extremely light weight implementation with zero GUI overhead.
3. Support search by substring and Python regex.
4. Not bound to X service. Usable under tty.
5. Much easier to maintain as a native package due to short code.
