Gerenciador universal de pacotes Linux pkcon

O pkcon é o cliente de linha de comando do PackageKit com vários recursos e uma ótima alternativa universal para gerenciar pacotes em várias distribuições Linux, confira.

 

PackageKit

 
PackageKit realiza tarefas de gestão de software simples sobre uma interface DBus, e.g. recarrega o cache, atualiza, instala e remove pacotes de software ou busca por múltiplos codecs e manipuladores de arquivos.

O trabalho é feito por backends que se utilizam do gestor de pacotes que vem com a distribuição correspondente. PackageKit não serve para substituir ferramentas avançadas como o Synaptic.

Os principais benefícios são: 

 

• - interface unificada em várias distribuições 

• - privilégios bem granularizados usando PolicyKit 

• - não é necessário estar rodando uma área de trabalho durante o processamento
