Description

Aptitude serves as a text-based interface that utilizes Ncurses and functions through the command line to provide access to various Apt libraries, which are similarly employed by the default package manager for Debian, Apt. Operating within a terminal environment, Aptitude utilizes a syntax reminiscent of mutt for flexible package matching. Users can designate packages as either "automatically installed" or "manually installed," enabling the automatic removal of packages that are no longer needed, a feature also present in Apt since several Debian iterations. It offers a visual preview of proposed actions, distinguishing each with different colors to indicate the nature of the action. Additionally, Aptitude allows users to interactively access and view the Debian changelog for all available official packages. Its score-based dependency resolver is particularly adept at handling interactive dependency resolution, accommodating user preferences such as excluding certain parts of a solution while retaining others for future attempts. In contrast, Apt's dependency resolver is tailored for effective "one-shot" solutions, making both tools valuable in their own right for managing packages on Debian systems. Overall, Aptitude enhances user control and visibility over package management tasks.

Description

This repository contains the code for snapd, which is the background service responsible for managing and maintaining the installed snap packages. Snaps are versatile application packages designed for desktop, cloud, and IoT environments, featuring automatic updates. They are user-friendly, secure, compatible across different platforms, and do not require additional dependencies, making them popular on millions of Linux systems daily. In addition to various service and management capabilities, snapd offers the snap command for installing and removing snaps while facilitating interaction with the broader snap ecosystem. It also enforces confinement policies that keep snaps isolated from the base system and from each other, and it manages the interfaces that allow snaps to utilize specific system resources beyond their confinement. For those interested in installing applications like Spotify or Visual Studio Code, the Snap Store is a great place to explore. Furthermore, if you're keen on creating your own snaps, we recommend starting with our comprehensive documentation on how to build a snap. This documentation will guide you through the essential steps for developing and packaging your apps effectively.
