GitHub: sysget – A front-end for every package manager

Re:GitHub: sysget – A front-end for every package manager by heinrichhartman on Sunday October 07, 2018 @05:09AM (#18159605)

Some missing features:

    - Show version of an installed package
    - List content of package
    - Fix package (or reinstall?)
    - Install/Update history
    - Revert last install/update operation

Unfortunately not all of these features are directly supported by all package managers. E.g. package contents for yum are `repoquery -l`. I have to google this every time. Real value in wrapping that in a simple command.

Disclaimer: I am the guy who made this

The reason is that I only want features that are supported by the most package managers. Sometimes you get a message that the package manager does not support this (especially chromebrew). I don't want to add features that only works with 2 or 3 package managers. I only want features that should work with every package manager. At the moment there are only essential tools. However I will try to add as many as possible.
