InterfaceToAPT

Emacs Interface to APT (Debian package management)

Package to interface Emacs with APT. See the code Lisp:apt-utils.el.

Start things off using e.g.:

    M-x apt-utils-show-package RET emacs21 RET

Other packages (dependencies, conflicts etc.) can be navigated using `apt-utils-{next,previous}-package', ‘apt-utils-choose-package-link’ or ‘apt-utils-follow-link’.

Return to the previous package with ‘apt-utils-view-previous-package’.

ChangeLog and README files for the current package can easily be accessed with, for example, ‘apt-utils-view-changelog’.

For normal (i.e., not virtual) packages, the information can be toggled between ‘package’ and ‘showpkg’ displays using ‘apt-utils-toggle-package-info’; the latter is useful for the “Reverse Depends”.

View the key bindings with ‘describe-mode’ (bound to ? by default).
