Force-get

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The correct title of this article is force-get. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.

force-get is a package management system for GNU/Linux which aims to allow for the co-existence of binary and source packages on the same computer system. The current version is written in Bash, a UNIX shell language. force-get is implemented as the default package manager for Jedi Linux and works on many other distributions of GNU/Linux.

Though there are relatively few packages in the force-tree at the moment, the packages made available by the development team attempts to satisfy the general needs of the population of GNU/Linux users. Also, force-get configuration files have a simple format, making it relatively easy for users to add new packages to the force-tree. force-get is considered beta software but is in active development.
