pacman is a utility which manages software packages in Linux. It
|
|
uses simple compressed files as a package format, and maintains a
|
|
text-based package database (more of a hierarchy), just in case
|
|
some hand tweaking is necessary.
|
|
|
|
pacman does not strive to "do everything." It will add, remove and
|
|
upgrade packages in the system, and it will allow you to query the
|
|
package database for installed packages, files and owners. It also
|
|
attempts to handle dependencies automatically and can download
|
|
packages from a remote server.
