debman - frontend for apt with pacman syntax

    logoI decided here to write about my little program, in order to increase its popularity, and so let's start.
    debman - frontend apt'a with syntax pacman (the package manager in Arch linux). Now it supports all deb-based distributions, as well as rpm-based with apt (tested on ALT linux).
    Now the current version is 0.008, it is possible in it (the key-action list):

    -S - install packages
    -Ss - search
    -Si - see package information
    -Qs - hiccup among installed packages
    -Su - update packages
    -Sy - update list of packages and install
    -Suy - update the list of packages and the packages themselves
    -R - delete
    -U - install the downloaded package or via the link
    -Sb - collect the package
    -Qy - update the list of files contained in packages
    -Qo - write the name of the package containing the file
    -Ql - write the contents of the package
    -Qyl and -Qyo work
    -Sc - remove old packages from the cache
    -Scc - remove all packages from the cache
    -Up - install depatch (in the future it will be replaced by pkgbuild)
    -Sr - install the package without recommended dependencies
    -Sw - download the package
    -Qc - see the changelog
    -Qd - list the packages installed as a dependency
    -Qe - list the packages installed manually
    -Qdt and -Qt - list the packages installed as dependencies, but no longer GOVERNMENTAL
    -EN - remove unnecessary packages
    -A - Add the repository
    And a little more =)

    As for me, it is much easier to introduce debman -Suy than sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade , as well as debman -Sy smplayer than sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install smplayer !
    And debman -Ayu ppa: pidgin-developers / ppa is much better than: Google code deb package of the latest version I write about new versions on welinux.
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pidgin-developers/ppa
    sudo aptitude update
    sudo aptitude upgrade
