From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
urpmi is a Mandriva Linux package management tool for installing, removing, updating and querying software packages of local or remote (networked) media. It wraps around the package manager rpm with the aim that the user should not have to suffer the often-encountered dependency hell. It works with official sources from Mandriva or unofficial sources such as those from the Penguin Liberation Front.
[edit] History
urpmi was developed as an experimentation by Pascal Rigaux (Pixel) to address RPM install limitation, it was further maintained by Francois Pons and different Mandriva employees. It is currently (2008) maintained by Pascal Rigaux.
