Summary: Debian's Advanced Packaging Tool with RPM support
Description:
A port of Debian's APT tools for RPM based distributions, or at least for Conectiva. It provides the apt-get utility that provides a simpler, safer way to install and upgrade packages. APT features complete installation ordering, multiple source capability and several other unique features. This package is still under development.

Last changed
Jan. 25, 2026 Ivan Zakharyaschev 0.5.15lorg2-alt95.p10.2
- e2k: Fixed the compilation of dependent packages with unchanged flags. (Restored the e2k source code adaptations; simply removing them in 0.5.15lorg2-alt93 was wrong due to possible ABI or API breakage.)
May 21, 2025 Ivan Zakharyaschev 0.5.15lorg2-alt95.p10.1
- Build for p10: with some fixes (corrupt downloads, IPv6 literals, etc.), and with the new feature of HTTPS over an HTTP proxy, but with the experimental columnar output turned off.
May 21, 2025 Ivan Zakharyaschev 0.5.15lorg2-alt96
- Added support for HTTPS connections through an HTTP proxy (ALT#38543). (Backported from Debian 1.5_alpha4~9.) (To come next: through HTTPS proxy.) Applicable configuration is the same as for HTTP. - Fixes: + OVE-20250602-0002 Not using HTTPS from behind a proxy opens doors for exploiting APT's bugs. When using APT from behind a proxy, impossibility to use a trusted connection to the trusted vendor's HTTPS server may open doors for an attack on APT's http method that would make APT misbehave and execute arbitrary code (in a package) prepared by an attacker who controls one of the connection nodes, e.g., by exploiting any bug in APT that would lead to misinterpretation of internal responses from the http method, which--among other things--has the power to fake computed checksums.
