KPackage

All the information you could want about your packages

Features

KPackage is dependent on the Smart package manager.

The main screen has two sections. The right-hand one will be empty until you select a package.

Main window

The larger, left-hand pane lists packages, initially in package groups. The sort order can be changed, as in many applications, by clicking on column headers. For each package you are presented with the following information:

Package name
Descriptive summary
Size
Version installed

and, if a package is due to be updated that column will show the new version number, while the final column will show

version to be replaced.

It is possible, using the drop-down combo-box, to limit the display to

Installed packages
Available packages
New packages
Updated packages

There is a Mark column, for making your selection, and you can then use the Packages menu to install your chosen packages

Details window

The four tabs on the right-hand pane give all the information you could need about the selected package -
