Cupt

Cupt is an experimental re-implementation of APT suite from scratch using Perl . It consists of Perl modules and console front-end to them.

Why?

What infrastructure does Cupt use?

It uses the same APT infrastructure, e.g. index files, deb cache archive files, configuration files. It understands some of widely used APT options.

What useful features has Cupt already?

What features will Cupt have in future?

See incomplete roadmap.

Why is it 'experimental'?

Because not all important functionality is implemented yet:

Why Perl?

Can I use Cupt along with libapt-based package managers?

Yes, you can mix apt-get/apt-cache/aptitude/etc. with cupt without bad consequences.

How to feedback?
