Unlike other Slackware +system administration tools with dialog-based user interfaces, sboui is written +in C++ utilizing low-level ncurses library calls. It features a two-pane listing +of software groups and names, multiple filters, searching, forward and inverse +dependency resolution, tagging multiple packages to apply batch changes, +configurable colors, and more. In addition to supporting the well-known SBo +package managers, it is also easy to make it work with custom tools. + +Note: the only required dependency is libconfig, but you also need to have an +SBo package manager installed for it to be useful. |
